Italy and Sicily with Monograms Travel
Monograms Travel: Sorrento, Rome, Florence, Venice and Taormina.
1 – 21 April 2016
I’ve been to Italy several times but the visits were short incursions into the country. The longest stretch was five days in Rome in 1994 as R&R while serving in Bosnia. During that time, I took a day trip to Pompeii where I was disappointed that we got less than two hours at the site. I swore I’d return.

I looked at a number of tours and finally settled on Monograms’ Wonders of Australia. The tour covers Sydney, Cairns, Dawrin, Uluru, Alice Springs and Melbourne and I opted for the extension that included Hobart, Adelaide and Fiji. Continue reading “Monograms Travel – Wonders of Australia”
Insight Vacations’ Country Roads of Switzerland
Or should I say Cows, Clocks, Cheese, Chocolate, Cable Cars and Castles.
I decided at the last minute to do this tour but I had already spent some time looking for the best tour of Switzerland. I opted for this one because it was the most comprehensive tour I could find, and given the higher cost of flying to Europe in the summer, I wanted to see as much as possible. And what a treat it was!
I was like a kid in a candy store. Continue reading “Insight Vacations’ Country Roads of Switzerland”
