...It was a trip of a lifetime!!
An excerpt from a note from Nancy:
“Judy & I had a blast on our vacation at your house in Italy!! Thank you for the fantastic hospitality extended to us. We couldn’t have asked for a better host family. We were able to “live” in Vicenza and that made it unique. We enjoyed meeting all your friends and neighbors... Let me know when you’re having your next Luau – I’ll come over and help and bring whatevah. We love you. I look forward to returning.”
These two “senior” ladies were fearless. They had a strong sense of adventure and not only did they tour Italy they also visited Switzerland and Austria.
Some highlights from their trip:
Mike escorting the ladies to St. Moritz, Switzerland on the Bernina Express train.
Meeting Thomas.
Lunching at the castle in Marostica, Italy
The open market in downtown Vicenza.
Touring the Vineyard Le Ragose
Touring the Frantoio Bonamini Olive Farm
Scaling the cliffs and trails of Cinque Terre. Warning the ladies not to go on the trails apparently did not register. Like I said, "fearless."
Off to Rome via the train.
Michael joined them in Florence and together they toured Florence and Pisa.
The ladies were off to Vienna, Austria where they were reunited with their friend Thomas who gave them a personal tour of this grand city.
One of the things Nancy and Judy truly appreciated was the opportunity to experience “every day life” in Italy. We took long walks around our town of Montecchio Precalcino and they were able to see the local sights, inspect the flowers and foliage, enjoy a cold drink at the “bar”, shop at the local supermercato and meet many of our neighbors. There was plenty of “down” time that was usually spent playing Scrabble.
Their Aloha, Italian, Halloween dinner with our friends.
