I need to go read through your report! I can barely keep up with the heathen thread these days though

So as this part ends I am leaning toward the conclusion of cancelling our Italy and Amalfi coast ABD for next summer and doing it myself sunk costs be damned. Another benefit of this is you’re limited in dates with ABD. Like this trip and Amalfi are summer only options and after being here in the summer I’d avoid it if you can or go very early June. The adults only trips they do have on shoulder season and if you’re 18up come in April or Oct if you can!

For Italy, I have already done significant leg work of where and what my daughter wants to see and what I loved when I was her age and want to share with her so I’m just gonna do that. Plus I feel like I could drive in Italy too. Control freak I am! Lol.

I’m just reading this now because while you were on this trip, I was in Italy & the Amalfi coast. It was very very hot. We’d go out in the morning and immediately be sweating. I’d start with my hair down and my neck would be soaked with sweat. Spring would be better temps for sure! I planned our trip myself but did get guides for certain places.

Yeah I’m gonna aim for spring break or Memorial Day weekend when she gets out of school if her dad won’t let her go spring break (he gets all of them). I went in March as a teen and it was awesome weather. It’s makes such a difference and when you’re spending big bucks and time off work I think it should be temperate! ;-). Lesson learned.
