Hi everyone..I'm so excited to have found ST. Everyone seems to be very friendly and helpful.
I live in Austin and my husband and I love to travel. We're heading to Mexico - Zihua - next month so I'll be sure to write about our experience upon our return.
We hope to return to Italy in October for our anniversary. We spent our honeymoon there 7 years ago. It's been way too long!! I would love to turn back time to when our dollar was stronger Gone are the days when one could book a pensione for $50 USD/night that looked directly onto the Duomo in Florence. And I mean it was direct. I could have hit it with a rock.

Despite the small fortune it will cost to travel, the thought of planning a return trip is invigorating. I can't wait to go back to Italy!

Thanks again to everyone who has offered their advice or answered my questions. I'm sure there will be more to come.
