Of course not. Just back from nine nights in Tuscany outside of Florence. It was a package deal too good to pass up. The purists on this site will rise up but what do they really know? Will post a trip report in a few days as we are still in NY. By the, the blue jeans and white tennis shoes discussion is finished.
"Too much Tuscany wine?" Wha-wha-what?!?!? The Sacramento and St Louis groups found out for ourselves there's no such thing as too much, thanks to you not even having the courtesy to turn us away in person when we showed up for our monthly meeting. Fine. See if WE ever crash your European vacation again! ;-)
I'd love to know about your deal Frank. Do you mind sharing?
I also would love to hear about your tour package.
There is no such thing as "too much Tuscan wine."
Frank is correct about jeans and tennis shoes. They are everywhere! Colored tennis shoes are also very popular I've been wearing my jeans almost everyday. We are still in Italy but head home Wed. I brought a cute dress I got at Gap and that's for hot days
You have permission to wear jeans and running/tennis shoes in Italy. You fit in perfectly
Fighting a little jet lag at the moment. I know it was over when the little "bag" lady came begging in absolutely, bright white, clean tennis shoes. Ah!!!!! and the tight jeans !! What view - of the country side - that is.
Amazing how much wine one can consume in Tuscany, I estimate 70 bottles in 10 days for 4 of us. I LOVE Italy!
