Cinque Terre, Italy
WE and I are stoked to travel to Italy in September for our family vacation. We finally bought our flights this week (we got a great deal on American) and have decided on a basic itinerary. We’ll spend a few days in Rome, Florence, and then conclude with the Cinque Terre (pronounced ’Chinkwa Tera’). We fly into Rome and leave from Genoa.
Hopefully it will be a great mix of the busy cities, museums, and cathedrals – as well as the quieter countryside along the coast. Also, we plan to mix up our accommodations a bit – staying in some nicer hotels as well as give WE a little taste of European hostels (woot! woot!)
Who knows, maybe I’ll even convince him to go cliff jumping with me?!?
Here’s a little Rick Steves video about the Cinque Terre:
If anyone’s got any suggestions for us on ‘must sees’ in Rome or Florence – do share!
Yeah, how fun!! You’ll have a blast. Definitely buy some Italian leather shoes while you’re there. They’ll last forever (Mike bought his 10 years ago and they’re still in great shape). And spring for some audio tours of the musuems, it will make it a lot more memorable. The night tour of Rome was fun because we got to see everything lit up and from a different perspective. And it was fun going to a ward there and seeing how much Italian we could understand. But not matter what you do, it will be fantastic!! Great vacation choice!!
For our family vacation we will be….hmmmm…. Dang bar exam. It has killed our summer.
Live it up in Italy for me!
