Methinks I will not die quite happy without having seen something of that Rome of which I have read so much. —Sir Walter Scott
Ciao a tutti!
Some of you have indicated an interest in joining me and Tim for our next tour of Italy. I’m still working out some of the details, but I can tell you this much right now:
- We will leave Boston on Friday, May 6 and return on Tuesday, May 17.
- We will spend 4 nights together in a boutique hotel in Rome and 6 nights together in one of the fine Santacroce hotels in Sulmona, in the Abruzzo region of Italy where Tim and I share an apartment with Lou and Vicky Sirianni.
- All breakfasts and many other meals will be included.
- We will visit a winery in Abruzzo . . . tour a Celestine Abbey . . . tour
at least two medieval cities . . . share meals at some incredible restaurants . . . participate in the aperitivi and passeggiata activities . . . enjoy confetti and gelato ’til we burst . . . and have a special “wild west barbecue” day in the mountains. 
In Rome, we will have an opportunity to cook and eat a meal with a local in her apartment . . . have a wine-curated brunch in a fine hotel near the Vatican . . . tour the Jewish Ghetto . . . and have plenty of time to explore Rome on our own.
And there’s more to come, including cooking experiences, castles, an optional tour to a POW camp and so on.
I will keep the cost per person as close to $2500 as possible, which will include all the above plus other activities and all ground transportation. Airfare is up to you, and I highly recommend contacting Rita Cornello at Mystic Valley Travel for your tickets. Tell her I sent you and that you’re traveling with Travel the Write Way. She can be reached at 781-396-0710 or rac02155@aol.com.
We will keep this tour to 8 people, including me and Tim. This will keep the transportation costs down and allow us to be a small group of travelers and not a “pack” of tourists! Much more civilized, don’t you think? And right now there are only 4 spaces left . . .
If you want to reserve a place for this unique adventure, please send a non-refundable deposit of $500 per person to me by January 6. Make checks payable to TRAVEL THE WRITE WAY, LLC and drop them off at the house or mail them to me at 18 Broad Street, Salem MA 01970.
Tim and I look forward to welcoming more people to this wonderful part of the world and to introducing you to our Italian family!
Ci vediamo in italia!
Buon viaggio!
