My Travels in Italy

Over the many years we have visited almost every region of Italy.

Glenn's first trips, were those of a single person traveling through Italy on the trains. The main centers that included Rome, Florence and Venice are all easy to see by train. Now, we travel through Italy primarily by car. We enjoy the freedom and option to really explore the country visiting the smaller cities and towns.

Despite having a GPS unit we would never travel without our Michelin Atlas Routier. Our map book has more "Post-it Notes" that one can imagine. We've learned to mark your pages with those "yellow stickies" to note places that we would like to see. It seems you just never know where you will be.

Our Travel Journal includes photos and and information about the various places we have visited. We particularly enjoy visiting cloisters and are assemble photos and information about the specific trips each year. Our Travel Journal information is arranged by region. Need help with the location of the regions? The Italy Index Page includes a map with the regions listed and a link to the Travel Journal for each region.

We have stayed in a wide range of accommodations. We are pleased to shared our list of Great Places to Stay. From our perspective your hotels represent one of the single largest costs of a trip so having a "great" place makes it all the most enjoyable.

Our Trips of Note include information on specific trips along with itineraries.

Finally, we also offer Travel Consulting services to help individuals plan a trip to Italy. You book your own flights, but we can help with this fee-based service in planning a trip that will be memorable.
