What follows is the list of the dates and things that Mama Mia and I did on our Italian Vacation. I do not recommend these itineraries unless you are dedicated to walking and are of sound mind and body. Truly, someone needs to give us an award for everything we saw. What a wonderful trip. I will never forget it. Thanks for being with me on my first Italian trip, Mama Mia!
If you'd like to read about our entire trip, I recommend starting with the first post and working your way up to this post. That will keep it all in order.
Love,
Suzanne
