Don't Give Up!

Well friends,
If anyone is actually reading this blog...don't give up on a trip to Italy with us! We planned to take a group in 2009, but due to some really good fortune, we were offered a vacation apartment at no cost in Rome, and several tour operators took us on tours at no cost so that I could write about them. So that was wonderful and fit right into my budget friendly Euro plans. We will try to arrange dates either this fall (2010) or spring of 2011. Going as a group will get us some great deals on tours and accommodations! How does a tour to see Etruscan tombs and their frescoes from 400-500 bc sound? Without a bunch of other tourists around??? Then lunch at a local farm with everything freshly grown, prepared and produced? Mmmmm...stay tuned!
