Italy & Spain … Get Ready

Countdown begins

We are officially 11 days away from our yearly International vacation.  This years adventure will have us exploring, Rome, Venice, Madrid & Barcelona. This is a trip of a life time and I am grateful to be experiencing it with Bowen and my parents. Roy and Diane are ideal travel companions – having retired a few years ago, their travel bug has been reignited and we can’t wait to experience this trip with them.

This time around, I will be blogging EVERYDAY. Last trip, I let it slip and I regret not carving out time to put “pen to paper.” Being able to re-live and share our experiences is a way to appreciate the opportunities we have worked hard for AND been given.

Stay tuned – adventure AWAITS – Italian & Spanish style.

    Lindsey & Bowen…I wish you safe travels & wonderful memories to last a lifetime. Barrett & I took a similar trip just over 2 years ago to Italy with close friends who are seasoned travelers. Our first stop was Rome. Our first day opened w the long-anticipated Scavi Tour which gave us a view of St Peter’s ruins buried directly under The Basilica’s altar. Upon entering The Basilica for the first time we quickly spotted a Mass underway in one of the knaves. We were allowed to enter & although all in Italian, it turned out to be a most powerful experience as we received communion there inside The Basilica on our first morning! What a blessing indeed!
    A note to remember….all Italian wines are delicious & cheaper than water!
