Travel with Me: Valentine's Day in Italy!

This is a big week!  First Passports with Purpose and now...
I am excited to announce the details of my next trip to Italy, and you are invited! Travel to Florence and Rome, the most romantic places in the world, this Valentine’s Day: February 11-22, 2009. For those of you in Northern California, you will know KCRA’s former television journalists, Dave Walker and Lois Hart. They are celebrating their retirement in Michelangelo’s Italy , and there is room for just 16 people to join them.

I am particularly excited that Dave and Lois will be on this trip.  They are distinguished journalists with lots of stories to tell, and I am looking forward to getting to know them!
I will be the tour escort, as usual, and I'll reveal the stories and secrets of Italy’s most romantic cities and to uncover the passions of Italy’s most renowned artist. We will read Michelangelo’s love letters and sonnets in the cities where they were written. You will see his art through a new lens -- that of a devout and romantic creator.

Cozy up together in splendid little hotels right in the heart of each city. Linger over breakfast each morning. Experience the cobbled streets and quaint alleyways of Florence. Make Valentine’s Day unforgettable with a ride in a horse-drawn carriage or pose for a portrait together at Piazzale Michelangelo. Enjoy the bustling thoroughfares and layered history of Rome. Drink Italy’s finest wines and eat like the Medici at meals hosted by Lois Hart and Dave Walker.
This is a group tour that will not feel like a group tour! No buses.  No crummy meals.  Lots of time in each city.  And, of course, I will be with you every step of the way.
Read all about the trip on my website:   Michelangelositaly.com  .  
To reserve your place, we must receive a deposit by December 29.  More details on the booking page at Michelangelositaly.com .

Questions?  Let me know!  I hope to see you all in Italy for Valentine's Day!
Ciao!
