Well, Brad and I just returned from an awesome vacation in Italy! We decided to visit three different areas of Southern Italy: we flew into Rome, where we rented a car and drove to Cortona which is in the middle of Tuscany (you may remember Cortona, Italy as the main city in the movie "Under The Tuscan Sun"). While in Cortona, we took several day trips: one to Montalcino in the heart of the Brunello wine country and the other to Siena, Italy. After some time in Cortona, we headed back south to the Amalfi coast where we stayed in Sorrento. The highlight of being in Sorrento was our spur of the moment decision to rent a speed boat and travel around the island of Capri (just beautiful)!! Finally, we ended our trip by driving back to Rome and spending the final leg of our time in Italy where we saw the Colosseum, Roman Forum, Trevi Fountain, The Vatican (Sistine Chapel and all), Pantheon and just about every Piazza in the city. We feel truly blessed to have been able to take this trip and have posted all our pics in our photo gallery (see link to the right).
