Our 2009 trip will be similar to our 2007 vacation - 12 days away - end of April beginning of May 2009. We plan on staying in Rome and a castle outside of Siena. We will have one cooking class in the heart of Chianti Classico and a full free day in both Florence and Siena. Five of our 2007 travelers are already signed up for next year - so it's a fantastic vacation. We were welcomed like family everywhere we went - invited into peoples homes where "Mama" cooked for us, three days in preparation! Pricing will be based on Dollar vs Euro - Which is higher than when we went last year (was 1.37/1 now 1.60/1) so it will be aprox $6000 for the whole trip. Air, taxi to/from airports, tour bus, tour guide, food (you can go extravagant or budget, so this can differ) and lodging. Doesn't include extra shopping though! We don't like to be surprised by extra fees, so we included the times you would be paying for your lunch or dinner (20-30Euro ea). Let us know if you'd like to put your name on the list and how many travelers. I'm Interested Ciao! Scott & Katie |
