Great photos! Florence is such a great city. I love your journey through the world of Italian gelato! More new flavors out there to discover!
Did you get to do the classic "holding up the leaning tower photo" at Pisa? LOL. In the pictures and it looks like you had wonderful weather. But you have done something bad TXTransplant.....you have awaken my Dolce Vita inside myself which I have struggled to keep tamed inside my travel heart. LOVE,LOVE,LOVE the pictures THANK YOU.
Yep. That about sums it up. Kind of one of those places everyone should get to once in their life (for a very brief time on their way to something more interesting). I've been their twice now. The last time we went it was with some friends combined with a cooking excursion while on the DCL Magic. Got to go up the tower the 2nd time. Got pictures of my oldest DS holding up the tower and my redheaded middle son pushing it down. I'm all good now. No need for a third trip.Pisa is a total tourist trap.
Txtransplant- is the Marco you had Marco B.? Had him for Viva Italia; he's fantastic!

Thanks for the info on arriving to AMS via a small plane. Yeah its not a pleasant airport particularly the passport control area. I guess passport control areas everywhere are frustratingly slow, but it's at AMS that we're usually making a connecting flight.
Welcome back to Houston. So was it hotter or cooler in Italy? Today wasn't too bad, but the last couple of days have been really hot/humid.
Hi- I was the one from TX in Germany with Lexie when you were on your trip. I told her you and your son were there
TXTransplant, I'm curious to hear how your son liked the trip. We have 2 boys and are considering this trip with them next summer. Did he enjoy the activities and sites? Enough activity? (Our kids love to DO but they do not really like to LOOK.) Were the guides pretty good with the kids?
