Due to not having any pictures uploaded for these two, we hadn’t commented on our time in Monaco or Nice yet. We hit Monaco when we were still in Eze, as it is very close. Our hotel is close enough to Monaco that they have packages for the annual

France has been so great! When we got to Eze, I said “Screw Italy!” And when we got to Gourdes, I said, “Screw Eze!” Each place we have gone has been so nice, we’re one upping ourselves right and left. My post this morning is focused on things we

It’s later than I’d planned, so this post should be less wordy than the last one. We started off today with breakfast here at San Lorenzo, which they do each morning from 8-10. They put out some pastries and cereal, and will make espresso drinks and eggs

I write this from our agritourismo in Volterra, ready to crash from the first day of our trip. We left Austin shortly after noon on Tuesday, May 10, and landed in Pisa right about noon (Pisa time) today. We had layovers in Dallas and London (Heathrow). Flying overnight to LHR

As of today (April 2, 2016), we’ve finally finished booking all of the major pieces of our big trip. We expect to post during the trip itself, but I figured it would make sense to use this post to provide a complete overview of the trip for those that
