Preparing Our Trip to Italy

10/13/18

Last spring my husband and I was discussing with good friends about trips abroad. They have traveled overseas we have not but they said let’s go together! All said and done we decided on Italy in October. Italy in October sounds so enchanting. October in my mind just says truffles and olives!

So we met 3 times officially before our trip. Unofficially, I don’t know how many times we met, plus massive amounts of texting took place. We also ate massive amounts of homemade Caesar salad and an Italian main course meal, drank Prosecco, Sambuca and watched YouTube videos on certain parts of Italy and decided on what regions to explore. My husband and I even tried our hand at making homemade pasta. It took us all day to make the pasta but the meal was amazing. We have babbled on and on of the things we would like to do. However, we all agreed from the beginning that we just want to travel off the beaten path. That being said we will take in a touristy thing here or there but for the most part we are just winging it.

Today we packed, tomorrow we travel from Boston to Dublin, then Dublin to Italy. We are ready!
