Hi everyone! Just wanted to say hello as I have been a member since February, and have not introduced myself. My name is Barbara, and I live outside of Philly in Springfield. I have found SLow Travel to be a great source of info for my upcoming trip to Italy. Hope all of our Mom's out there have a Happy Mothers Day!

Hi bappo and welcome! Glad you're here.

Are you from Springfield Delaware County or Montgomery County? I am closer to the Montgo Springfield.

You gotta love SlowTravel. When are you going to Italy?

Hi teaberry. I am from Springfield, Delco. Just found this site in February, used cruise critic, and trip advisor previously. Slow Travel has been a great discovery! Actually, I am going to Italy twice this year. We have rented a villa, through Parker, in Lake Como for early July, and then have a sister in law/mother in law/girlfriend trip in November. Hubby goes fishing for a week in April and last year myself, my mother in law and friends and went on our first trip to Venice and Vienna. What beautiful cities they are! We had wonderful weather it was in the 70's in Venice, and 40-50 in Vienna with sunny skies. We figured if the price was right, we would do it every year. I am hooked on Italy, and slow travel.
