Well, it’s finally here – today we’re off to Italy!
Our flight is at 5:30pm tonight and we land in Rome early on Thursday morning and have a full day ahead of us (let’s hope we’re able to get some sleep on the plane!).
I’m really not sure how much I’ll be sharing on social media along the way, but I would like to document the things we are doing, so I’d say keep an eye on Instagram, that’s where I’ll most likely post a picture or two of what we do each day!
Also, I doubt I’ll be blogging while I am away (although we do have several train trips that I may be able to write a quick post during!), but I have a few scheduled posts ready to be published on the days that we change cities to let you know what we’ll be up to in each city!
For example, our first stop is Rome! Here’s what we’ll be up to during our 4 days there…
- Food Tour in Rome’s Testaccio Neighborhood
- Tour of Vatican City and the Sistine Chapel
- Lots of sites! (Colosseum, Roman Forum, Pantheon, etc.)
- Full Day Cooking Class (making homemade pasta!)
- Hopefully we’ll get in a run or two!
- LOTS and LOTS of EATING!
I am so excited for this trip and while I know this isn’t really a travel blog, but I do plan on sharing brief reviews of all our plans, tours, etc. when I’m back!
Until then…
Live, Run, Grow 
Sounds incredible!!! I can’t wait to hear all about it! Bon voyage 🙂
Just watch out for the “Roman soldiers” outside the Pantheon. They’ll pose for a pic with a fake sword and crown and take you for $20! You are going to have SO MUCH FUN!!!
So I had read and heard about these gladiators outside the Colosseum and you know what, I didn’t see even one – and we stayed really close to the Colosseum so we walked by it every day! I wonder if they’ve been cracking down on it or something??
We got waylaid by them over by the Pantheon. Maybe tourists just had enough and the police told them to hit the road.
So exciting! I only managed about 1 hour of solid sleep on the plane, and I almost fell asleep on the bus tour in Milan. The gentle sway of the bus as it was driving down the streets and the leaning my head against the window almost did me in.
Ahhhhh, SO jealous! Have an AMAZING time! Can’t wait for recaps!!
Have SOOOO much fun!! Italy (and especially Rome) is one of my favorite places on the planet!
Have fun! I went to Rome in 2013 and it was amazing! Enjoy the gelato! If you’re looking for a local day trip, Orvieto is really nice and only a short train ride away!
safe travels!!! I usually can sleep for a bit on planes but nothing like my boyfriend who can sleep from takeoff to landing!
This is a bucket list trip for me. Have a great trip! #travelfun
