Italy - it's a go.

Mike and I are in the process of planning our "dream vacation" (more his than mine, but whatever, I ain't complaining! It's just not the UK - which I love... and speak the language... and... love.) Anyhoo, 2 weeks in Italy!!!  

October 3 - 16. Here's what we know so far:  

Oct 3 – Delta flights to Venice!!!  

Oct 4,5 – Venice Hilton Molino Stucky
