Florence with Kids (or Without Kids) We love Italy. We’ve rented villas in Cortona, in Positano and on Lake Como. We’ve hiked and cycled in the Dolomites. We had a family reunion in Rome, centered around my niece’s baptism at the Vatican. I hiked across Tuscany. We’ve taken a cruise… Read More
Paris on a Budget Recently I wrote a post on where else people can go for the same cost as a Disneyland vacation. When I was making a short list of destinations to include, I immediately thought of Paris. After all, it’s visited by almost 18 million people a year… Read More
