Bonjourno! It's me, Giacomo and m'lady Angelina!

Rach and I are sitting here in the British Airways Club World Lounge at SeaTac airport, ready to depart for our 1st EVER trip to Europe! Many of our friends have been and raved about it, so we decided we were due. We cashed in our Alaska Airlines points for some biz class tickets and our Starwood Points for some hotels and next thing you know, Boom! We are like Rick Steves, except without the knowledge of Europe...so nothing at all like him.

I decided if we are going to Italy we should have Italian names. My party name is Dutch Carpenter, but my Italian name shall be Giacomo, which is Italian for Excellent Name. I said, "Hey Rach, we need Italian names, what do you want yours to be"? Pause. Pause. Pause..."Angelina" she says...I accept the name, but thought there might be a better selection out there.

Anyways, the trip lays out like this:
Rome - 4 nights
Cinque Terre - 2 nights
Florence - 3 nights
Venice - 2 nights
Rome - 2 nights

Sprinkle a few train trips in there and some banana hammocks and you have yourself a tour of Italy! See you on the flip!

XoXoxxOO,

Giacomo & Angelina (I would have gone with Santa!)
