Cinque Terre, September 2014

I can now add ‘ticket scalper’ to my resume.

Not that I’m going to, but now that I’ve gotten you to click into my blog, I guess you’ll just have to keep reading to find out what happened!

Milan. Florence. Cinque Terre. Siena. San Gimignano. Pisa. Rome. Venice. Milan (again).

All in 10 days.

I’m not saying it’s easy. I’m not saying you should do it. But it CAN be done!

But before I put you to sleep with the details of my trip, I’m here to tell you that this blog isn’t for me. It’s for you! While researching Italy for my vacation, I came across really useful blogs (shout to to Ron in Rome). On the flip side, I also came across some pretty useless information. No offense, but I don’t really care what you wore on that rainy day you spent in Florence. Just like I don’t think you would care what souvenirs I bought in Venice. (BUT. Just in case you do, you can find out about everything I ate, bought, saw, everywhere I stayed, throughout Italy at my Yelp and Trip Advisor pages.)

Some of my posts might be lengthier than it normally would be. But I promise – if I get into some sort of anecdote, there’s (probably) a point to the story. And if you get tired of reading, just close out of it! (I won’t blame you – sometimes I bore myself). So hopefully you can take away something from my blog, and NOT think – ‘Well..there’s 10 minutes I’ll never get back…’

First up, MILANO!
