We had a great last full day in Rome. Ancient
Rome tour that included seeing the Colosseum.

Last picture is of the Trevi Fountain at 6:30am so we rolled out of bed to see it before the crowds. Still were about 75 or more people there. Even in early May it’s hard to beat the crowds. It’s the travel world we live in these days. We still had a very good time.

Last week I spent my time in Amsterdam at the River Cruise Expo. I attended this in 2022 in Budapest. It’s time we’ll spent to keep up on what’s happening in this part of my travel world.

Here are pictures of the beautiful Amawaterways ship, AmaSerena. This ships sails on the Rhine, Moselle and Dutch and Belgium waterways.

When you’re ready call me, your expert on River cruising for one of the best ways to see Europe.

Sofitel Kia Ora Resort in Mo’orea. We stayed in a beachfront bungalow. Steps to the beach. We were able to find excellent snorkeling right at the resort. They provided snorkel equipment complimentary.

I highly suggest to rent a car. You can do lots of exploring on your own. Only about 37 miles all the way around the island. Take a drive up to Belvedere point to see the overlook of the two bays, Opunohu and Cook.

We had delicious food at our resort but also found some restaurants while we were out, also with good food.

The local French Polynesian people we met were were very nice and friendly to us.

Let me know if you’re ready to visit these beautiful islands. I’d love to help make a dream vacation come true for you. Just send me DM or email me.

Staying at the Sofitel Kia Ora Beach Resort. They have several ways to accommodate be it Over the Water Bungalows, Ocean front, Ocean View or Garden-view suite. You can’t go wrong at this beautiful and peaceful resort.

If this island or any of the French Polynesian Islands are on your to see list just let me know and we will get to planning when I get back. 😎

I snuck in a trip to Portugal last month after Italy.

Hope you enjoy these pictures of Bento railway station, which is located in the center of Porto. With tens of thousands of tiles it is one of the most beautiful train stations in the world.

We really enjoyed Italy and traveling with a small group.

The second picture is with my friend Jessica I met a few years ago on another Italy trip and also met her Mom, Kaye. They are great fun to travel with and we would never have met them had we stayed in our own back yard.

We decided why not take another trip together when this one appeared.

Get out there and see what you might be missing.

Oh and I added a few other pictures of the lively little town of Asolo that I fell in love with.

While visiting Asolo Italy I stayed at Albergo Al Sole.

What a beautiful quaint 5 star hotel that sat at the top of this village. It’s perfect location provided a wonderful view of the area.

I had some delicious food here and I am bringing home a recipe for tiramisu.

This area is great for hiking and cyclists. After a long hike or bike ride take time to relax and indulge a little in the spa.

Scroll to see the different room types.

Feel free to DM me for more info on this hotel or any others I’ve been posting about. When you are ready I can plan the perfect trip to Italy that’s exactly to your liking.

Valdobbiadene Italy

Get outside of Venice and experience the beautiful foothills of Italy. The Prosecco region of Italy.

Here we had a Prosecco wine tastings at Cartizze Vineyards.

Olive oil tastings and then lunch provided by a local olive farm.

These are just a few of the experiences you can have in this region.

I’m here with all the knowledge to help plan a trip like this for you.

I was able to enjoy a 5 night Danube cruise on Avalon Waterways ship the Envision. It was a wonderful way to end the ASTA River Cruise Expo.

I loved my Panorama stateroom. You can bring the outdoors in while cruising along. This makes for amazing views. Keep scrolling the pics for my view 😍.

The food and drink at every meal was delicious.

I’d love to help find the perfect cruise for you on Avalon. Contact me to get started.

I had heard Scenic River Cruise Line was all inclusive luxury and after touring their ship the Scenic Amber I saw for myself this is true.

Scenic has designed their ships with a contemporary flair. If you want to have it all included and not have to think about a thing then you want to seriously consider Scenic.

Scenic sails the European Rivers you would expect but they also travel through Southeast Asia.

Let me know how I can help you find the perfect river cruise for you.

Today was a great day. I visited and toured Amawaterways redesigned ship, AmaVerde. Such a beautiful ship. They also fed me a delicious lunch.

I’ve taken three Amawaterways cruises in the past 6 yrs. I can tell you from personal experience they are a wonderful river cruise line. They know how to treat their guests.

Over the next few days I’ll be touring other river cruise lines here in Budapest so stay tuned for more.

Let’s get out into the Tuscan Countryside!
Just a short hour and 15minute train ride from Florence is the charming Italian town of Siena.

This medieval town features 17 different districts competing in a historical horse race known as the Palio di Siena. The riders race around the outside of the city's famous Piazza Del Campo to bring honor, pride, and notoriety to their respective ward.

Siena is a fun and easy day trip from Florence and perfect for anyone who wants to see more of the Tuscan countryside.

Michelangelo's statue of David is one of the most famous sculptures in the world and is kept on display in Florence. Sculpted in the early 16th century, the Statue of David stands at a towering 17ft tall and is currently housed in the Accademia Gallery. However, that's not the only place in Florence where you can see the statue! There are two other identical statues on display in the city—one in Piazza Della Signoria and one atop Piazzale Michelangelo.

If you're interested in discovering the famous works of art while in Florence, DM or email me today to set up a private tour.

The Ponte Vecchio is the oldest bridge in Florence. In fact, Ponte Vecchio literally translates to "old bridge."

The original bridge was built in 996 and was made from wood, but after fires and floods, the medieval stone bridge was constructed.

Back in the day, the shops along the bridge used to be occupied by butchers, but today you will find jewelers and art dealers along the bridge's inner corridor.

The leaning tower of Pisa is perhaps one of the most whimsical monuments in Italy. Despite taking centuries to build, the ill-conceived design plans of the tower are what cause it to lean precariously to one side. Located just outside of Florence, the leaning tower has attracted visitors to the town of Pisa ever since it was built.

While efforts have been made to keep the tower from toppling, the creative photo opportunities are enough of an argument for keeping the slight tilt a while longer!

Let me book a private tour to Pisa for you during your trip to Florence.

Italians and tourists alike can all appreciate a deliciously refreshing scoop of gelato. In Florence, there is no shortage of gelato in the city. On practically every street, you'll find somewhere to serve you a scoop of this classic Italian dessert.

Stroll through the city streets with a cone full of gelato on a warm day and feel like a true local!

If you've never tried gelato, there's no better place to have your first taste than Florence!
