Frank and I booked our flights to Italy last night, by way of Asheville and New York City (the latter just for a layover). We are pretty excited. We're (perpetually) anxious to see Chiara, of course, but it was especially thrilling because we found flights for $400!!
More advice to travelers: Build your own trip. When Expedia built it for us, the price tag was thousands more. For what they wanted for four trips from Asheville to Milan, we got Seattle to Charlotte, a rental car in Charlotte, Charlotte to JFK, an airport hotel in NYC, and JFK to Milan. With money left over.
We haven't booked our return trip yet, because we need to do a little more research. But we discovered one exciting tidbit: Flying home from Dublin instead of Milan is about $1300 less, per ticket. It seems like we are **required** to go to Ireland on this trip.
Oh, darn.

Oh, no, Brer Bear, please, don't make me go to Ireland!
And we're going by way of Charlotte because we're doing LiveandLearn first. Hooray! Then straight from L&L to Italy - il grande volo di Zombie Princess Krewe. Trento (and beyond and around) here we come!
Wow! Very cool. You guys are more adventurous than I, Tim asked if we should go from L & L to Europe and I said.."are you crazy??"
Your brains must work in the same realms as Tim's ;) You're not crazy. I just couldn't handle it(and the kids didn't want to be going that long) It sounds exciting though.
I'm so jealous!!! And happy for you guys. What a great trip. I had the same idea last year, but wasn't able to make it happen. Good for you!
Wanna pack a little Qacei in your luggage?
Woo00000t! hurrah and stuff.
vurreh excited. :D
Ooh, ooh, via Norfolk? Fascinating place Norfolk. You've been to Suffolk, but you haven't really seen East Anglia until you've seen Norfolk.
ahhh well....don't I know something about Italy and cheap flights! :) Something more for us to talk about this weekend!
Ciao, ci vediamo presto! ;)
