We arrived in Florence at about 4 after a lovely drive from Montecatini. After we got everything to the room we headed to the dog park for a walk. It was a beautiful walk as our hotel was right on the river Arno near Ponte Vecchio. On the way back from the dog park we …

Y’all. Daniel here. The pottery experience was extremely special. Our guide Matteo was kind, gracious, welcoming, and extremely passionate about their family business.

We are perhaps overly cautious, but that works for us and our high anxiety personalities. We scheduled our last COVID booster vaccine so that our peak protection would be while we were traveling. …
Ancona is a beautiful city on the east coast of Italy. It’s all hills with stairs and steep alleys connecting parallel streets. The airport is tiny and reminded me of flying into Key West, except flying over the Alps in a small plane was much smoother than flying from Atlanta to Key West in a …
We needed some down time after we disembarked from the Queen Mary 2. So we got a hotel minutes from the port to spend a few nights in. We started in Room2 in Southampton and it was an adorable hotel with a hipster vibe. We had an amazing suite in my favorite color. The pups …
What we expected and what we got on our transatlantic crossing were very different. We honestly didn’t know what to expect, except for rest and relaxation. And we did not get that. We decided to take the Queen Mary 2 to move to Europe so that we wouldn’t have to fly the pups at all. …
