Four Sleeps to Italy

Just four more nights of sleep before I get on a plane and head off to Italy.  It’s been a vacation that’s been planned, in general, for many, many months, although some of the finer details have just come together over the last couple of weeks.

Bright and early on Wednesday morning, I head off to Milan, Italy.

I plan to spend about half a day in that busy city, and then head off to Lake Maggiore for a few days of relaxation and exploration,before heading to Tuscany and a couple of weeks (a return visit) at a wonderful farmhouse on a vineyard.

I’ve never been to the northern part of Italy, so have been busy researching what’s there and what’s not to be missed.  If you have suggestions, I’d love to hear them – please leave a comment!

I’ll be blogging from the road, sharing some photos and experiences as I journey through three weeks visiting Italy, Switzerland, and Croatia.  I have a bunch of post scheduled in advance, and during the time that I’m traveling, you’ll also see a few guest posts from some of my favorite travel bloggers.  And, of course, Kori will still be here sharing travel through her eyes.

The best part of being a travel blogger is traveling – and getting to share it with all of you.
