Florence in a Day

We went to Florence for the day on our Rome/Tuscany group trip we hosted. One of our highlights was going to the market and picking up some produce for the cooking class we did. We made homemade pasta with porcini mushrooms that we got at the market and tiramisu for dessert. The tiramisu was one of the best I have ever tasted! Of course, the day would not be complete without going to see Michelangelo’s David in the Accademia Gallery. The sculpture is a marvel to look at, stan

Do you love history, city life, amazing art and architecture and mouth-watering food? If so, Rome will capture your heart. We hosted a group trip to Italy that started and ended in Rome with Tuscany being the main focus. Our highlights in Rome were a fun lunch at Trattoria Massa after our Vatican tour, dinner in a private loft on Tiberina Island with an Italian chef (a spot Marlon Brando used to frequent) and running into Max Giusti, an Italian actor at Trattoria della Barche

Amalfi Coast by Yacht

We found Pasquale through a friend of Daniele’s. Pasquale is the captain of the yacht with Akhir Cruises that we had the opportunity to spend the day cruising around on while we were in the Amalfi Coast. We were there with my family and figured this would be beautiful way to spend the day together. After all, how does it get better than being on the water in an intimate setting with a breathtaking backdrop?! At first, a day on the yacht sounded pricey, but Pasquale gave us
