One of my travel buddies and I met with an AAA travel advisor today to look at European trip options. I want to see Rome and Florence, two cities in Italy that I have not yet visited, and both of us want to go to Greece. I used to lecture in Art History many years ago and visiting sites full of amazing historical art and architecture is like visiting old friends. We looked at cruise options. I like these because you don't need to pack and unpack every day. On the other hand bus tours allow you wonderful views of the country and possibly a longer time spent in each city on the tour. My travel friend really likes the bus idea because she gets seasick and doesn't like to be drugged all the time. We may have found a perfect compromise. One of the Italian trips offers six days at a hotel in Tuscany with driving trips each day to visit several cities including Florence and Pisa. This trip would start and end in Rome, then we could fly to Greece for three days. Doesn't that sound lovely? I think it sounds even better to me today because I envision it as being sunny. I am so ready for sunshine. As I drove around Fort Wayne today I saw gray cars, gray skies and gray streets. The only bright spots of color were the traffic lights.
