6/30/07 - Florence: dinner at Il Latini

We had a great dinner tonight at Il Latini . We'd heard about it from several people and walked by it Friday night and saw there were a lot of people waiting outside (which we haven't seen anywhere else so far.) So we decided we had to try it. We showed up early and got in what appeared to be...

Pisa - 6/30/07

6/30/07 Hello. So I don’t know what else to add for today. Pisa was exactly what I expected: Get on train. Get off train. Taxi to leaning tower. Laugh at stupid people taking picture pretending to hold up the tower. Take Jeff’s picture pretending to hold up the tower. Eat pizza in Pisa; take photo to...

Florence - 6/29/07

Today we visited two famous museums: the Accademia (home of Michelangelo's David) and the Uffizi (home of, amongst other things, Botticelli's Birth of Venus and Primavera.) We made reservations for both galleries a couple of months ago and were told to arrive 15 minutes early to pick up your...

There are several distinctive differences between our rooms in Venice in Florence: Overall, much larger than our Venetian...

Venice, Day 2

Happy to report no breakdowns today!!! Today's weather was quite different - still pretty warm, but way less humid. I guess I'm a true Phoenician. I can take the heat, but not the humidity. Jeff is busy posting photos from yesterday's trip to the Piazza San Marco and our Gondola ride. The...

Humidity, jet lag and hysteria, oh my!!

Jeff is posting about our troubles with our Delta flight. All I'll say is all told our travel took from 6:00 am Saturday to to 9:00 am Sunday (Seattle time) - 27 of the longest hours!! So jet lag/hysteria/anxiety/whatever kicked my rear today - we visited the Piazza San Marco and fed the pigeons...

Venice Day 1

We successfully made it to Venice, but not without a few difficulties.Our flight from Atlanta was delayed 4 hours (for a total of 8 hours sitting in Atlanta) and we had to get off the plane and switch to another due to equipment failure. Delta Airlines isn't our best friend at this point. Angie hit...

Welcome to the ATL

We're currently hanging out in Atlanta waiting for our flight to Venice. So far no suprises with the trip.I tried being all tricky and tethering our smartphones to my laptop so we could get internet access for free. I seem to be missing some setting or magic combination to get it to work. I know...
