Italy...
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.

Thank you! We had a blast! I'm kind of shocked that that many family members (8 of us) together for so long didn't argue more, it went surprisingly well.

We were there for 10 days this past June. Florence was my favorite too. Michelangelo's David alone is worth the trip. Stayed in the heart of the city at the Hotel Brunelleschi. I'm ready to go back too...

Italy's my favorite country to vacation in! The food and the people cannot be beat.

I especially like the islands off the west and south coast. The Marche area is currently my favorite though; it's not as spoilt as part of Tuscany and Umbria are.
