Matthew and I are leaving for Italy via Boston on June 4! We will be in Boston for 2 nights trying to do a little shopping (in the real world) for our big trip. The first week we will be with Matthew's family, the Dana's in Tuscany at a beautiful villa they rented.

I grabbed these photos off of the villa rental website.

I'm sure we'll be relaxing by the pool quite a bit!

After Tuscany we're off to Venice, where I hope to go on a gondola ride, then we'll head up to Switzerland to hike and camp for a week, then over to Nice & Monaco, France. After that we're going to head down to the island of Ischia going through Rome to do a little sightseeing. We're staying on Ischia (a small island off the coast of Naples, north of Capri) for a week at an eco resort on the water surrounded by hot springs!

I'm soo ready for this vacation! I know we live in vacation destinations, but its just not the same when your here all the time, I'm really looking forward to this adventure!

Here's a few photos from the place we're staying in Ischia, Italy.

If anyone has any tips or advice on places to visit while we're there I would love to hear them! Leave a comment! We've never been to Italy, although last year we drove all around France and Spain and had a blast!
