I just booked and am looking forward to chatting with others through this on-line forum, prior to the actual tour. I am retired and traveling with my 23-year old daughter. We live in Delaware on the east coast of the United States. While we both have some international travel experience, this is our first trip to Italy. I'm looking forward to meeting you and can't wait to experience Italy!

I am not on the tour but have lived in Florence and Rome and since I do travel research, we are there several times a year. I am excited for you and your daughter making your first trip to Italy and hope you have a wonderful trip.
Thanks Terri Lynn! (BTW, I have family in Gallatin.)
Hi, Ann. I think your message will reach other tour members better on this page of the forum: https://community.ricksteves.com/travel-forum/tours. Buon viaggio!
I agree with Laura; easiest is to delete this thread and post another one under 'RS Tours'. I expect that you'll get many responses there! I would also suggest changing the title to Best of Venice, Florence, and Rome so you don't miss those who may be on your tour but don't recognize 'VFR'.
I'm so excited for you and your daughter. I was lucky enough to take a couple of international trips with my mother, and I cherish those memories. We had so much fun together!
Don't worry - Terri Lynn will find you and repost ;-)
