Solo Italy

Time to don my big girl pants and go for an extended solo adventure. Destination: Italy. For five weeks I will be touring the country, meeting new people, eating real Italian foods, fumbling the language, and enjoying the freedom of independence. A brief itinerary: Aosta - 4 nights; Milan - 3 nights; Bolzano/Bozen - 3 nights; Venice - 5 nights; Cinque Terre - 3 nights; Florence - 6 nights; Sorrento - 4 nights; Rome - 6 nights.
