Despite our travel hiccups, we arrived in Milan in time for dinner! As much as I would have loved to call it a night after our 5 hour delay out of SFO and 1 missed flight in Frankfurt (we were suppose to arrive early morning), I’m glad my obsessive planning finally paid off. Dinner was… Read more…
It’s no secret. I am head over heels for all things Roma! I love this city. You can walk the city streets at any time of day and feel like you’re stepping back a moment in time. Everything about this city excites me — the uninterrupted history, the people, the fashion, the architecture, the cobblestone… Read more…

Couldn’t even show you any pictures other than food even if we wanted to. So here is our visit to Florence.. in food. You see these everywhere.. waffles. On the whole, not bad.

Tell you a secret. Rome is home to the best pizza we’ve ever had. (Just don’t ask us where it’s from.) Serious talk. I wish I knew where, but it just happened without warning. I didn’t want to eat in Vatican City but we desperately needed to refuel. You try holding it together after a… Read more…
