It was amazing that this trip ever took place. Our first trip to Europe was 10 years ago. We had planned to go to Italy for about a year and a half. The date was finally rolling along when 9/11 happened. Air traffic was stopped on that day and our thoughts were that the trip would be cancelled. However, there where two more weeks to go and the "show" went on. I remember that the plane was three quarters empty on the way over. Apparently many people cancelled their trips as America was feeling the tensions of traveling, so soon after a catastrophic event..
The trip was planned by Deb's uncle who came with us, along with his entire family, Deb's Mom, sister, and brother-in-law. We would visit Rome, Pisa, and Florence. We spent the first couple days in Rome touring the city, including a trip to the Vatican, then took the train to Pisa, where we would rent cars and drive to nearby Luca. We stayed in a villa in Luca taking day trips to Sienna, Pisa, Florence, and Cinque Terre. Hopefully we can go back to visit again.
