Italy 2023

Final Thoughts

First we want to thank all of you that followed us. (over 100).

All your emails to us - we answered all the emails.

We never had to carry a credit card as all places use apple pay.

Special thanks to :

To AAA who helped plan our trip. Calen Cygan, who is now the Branch Manager at McKnight Road AAA.

Jeremie Nath who planned our flights. We highly recommend her for future trip planning.

Teresa, who proof reads our site everyday and she was vacationing in Gaeta, Italy at the same time.

Gisella, who picks us up at the airport and allows us to rent her apartment “our home in Italy”.

Gisella and her husband Giovanni who spend day with us in Pisa and in their home.

Grace Roberti & her husband Gerry, who we shared lunch for the second year and her great web site Luccalife.com. We loved the all the stories of her mother, a leader in woman rights.

Katia and her family who always invites to her home, now consider us “family” and gives us tours of Italy. Our condolences to Andrea and his family on the passing of his father.

All our other friends in Lucca

And finally my wife who is editor in chief of our web site, fantastic wife, and travel companion. – Ti amo!
