I am lucky enough to be married to a chef who does get a couple weeks off each year. For the past three years Erik and I have gone away during the spring and this year we're off to Italy! We've been saving for the last 12 months and the vouchers we got coming from Costa Rica helped to send us overseas. We're landing in Milan mid-April then driving/railing around from Milan to Florence, Parma, and Venice. Hopefully we'll also end up in some small towns and authentic Italian restaurants.
Erik went once with his parents for the big millennium. Remember that? But this will be my first time. I'm looking forward to warm pasta, salty cheeses, Earthy wine, and one of a kind handbags.
Anyone who's been to Italy is encouraged to let me know any travelers pointers and tips. I'm really looking forward to this and I want it to be perfect!
