I is for...

ITALY



I've been to Italy multiple times! It's my favorite country I think! It's full of history, culture, beautiful people and great FOOD!!!

TRIP #1 - The first time I went was in 1994 with my Mom and Popi. We went everywhere, Venice, Florence, Rome, Milan, Pisa... and most importantly visited family in Reggio Calabria. It was a perfect trip for my first experience in Europe.

TRIP #2 - 2000 I went on a cruise with my parents around the Mediterranean sea. One of our stops was Palermo Sicily and Rome! We were only in Rome for a few hours, but it gave my mom and I enough time to climb to the top of the Vatican Dome.

TRIP #3 - 2001 was my college graduation trip with my roommate on a Contiki Tour. We went all around Europe, but stopped in Venice, Florence, Rome & Pisa. Even though I had done it before, I didn't care I wanted to see all the sites all over again.

TRIP #4 - 2005 I went with my friend Mindee! She had never been to Europe so we took another Contiki Tour. Pretty much the same tour as the last time, but I felt the need to experience it once again.

TRIP #5 - 2010 Possibly! Mark has never been... and I simply must share the culture and this beautiful country with him. I know it's 2 years away, but I can't wait!!
