Hey All....I was talking about a new goal in my life in this thread http://lapbandtalk.com/showthread.php?p=153422&posted=1#post153422

And that goal is to go to Italy. I got a tour package from Perillo Tours for $4129.00 on the black out dates. This is an all inclusive tour and tours the following cities: Palermo 2nights, Agrigento 1night, Taormina Lido 3nights, Sorrento 3 nights, and Rome 3nights. Its a fourteen day first class fully escorted tour~~~ FANCY STUFF...But my main point of interst is Palermo....My fathers family immigrated from there and I would love to just go there and see and explore. Im sure if I did the flight and hotel seperate that would be much cheaper. I want to take my son and shopping money of course, we are talking about $10,000.00!!!! And going back, we would spend only two nights in Palermo~~~ Palermo is Sicily's Capital.....sooo Im sure theres tons of things to see there...and experience there....

Anyone here ever been to Italy? How have you gone? Did you do the group tour or did you venture off on your own? I would like the safty of a group tour, but would love to come and go as I please!!! Hummmmmm I have time to figure it out. I dont have an extra 10 grand laying around that I have to deside on right now....but just doing my homework thats all. HEY I would have to get a pass port too! I dont have one of them!!!

I will be jealous if you go. I want to see Rome, but will wait to do any more travelling until after I have reached goal.
