As someone recently pointed out. I posted this on the 'fest, but neglected X5 world.

I just had a bit of a whirlwind last minute week long trip to Italy; got back last night. Christmas evening we got together after dinner and wanted to go somewhere fun. Found round trip tickets to Italy for ~600 bucks, so off we went!

There were 8 of us over there, so it was kind of crazy. Definitely interesting traveling with THAT many family members. ...but I went out solo just about every night, so I ended up having a total blast.

This was my first time in Italy-WOW! I already want to go back! I've never met so many nice people!

Flew into Rome was there for 2 days. Then we took a train to Florence went to Florence. We finished up the trip in Milan.


I think Florence was my favorite, because it had more of a small town feel. But...there wasn't any part I disliked, although next time I'd rather go more southern + Tuscany region. It's so freaking cold in the north- I HATE being cold.
