We will be flying Lufthansia Air from SFO-Athens on Monday, April 10th and returning from Rome-SFO on Thursday, April 27th. Although we've heard that post-wedding exhaustion may help us sleep like babies on the international flight, being able to do so with a little extra legroom is a welcomed perk!

We'll be roaming around the Tuscany region, starting at Volterra, where we'll see the village’s Piazza dei Priori, one of Italy's most impressive squares, and Piazza San Giovanni, site of the Duomo and Baptistery and the ruins of a 1st century B.C. Roman theatre. Then we're off to Pisa to enjoy a traditional Tuscan lunch and while away the rest of the day in Pisa. https://www.azamaraclubcruises.com/en-ca/voyage/1492488000/7-night-across-western-med-voyage

Dinner at our hotel's rooftop candle-lit restaurant. Nothing could be more relaxing than a short walk from our room to a dinner with a view like this!

We plan to make a stop at Santo Winery and try wines that are especially unique due to the volcanic ecosystem. Wine making in Santorini dates back thousands of years to the 3rd millenium B.C.. What makes the island of Santorini so unique is the special ecosystem, created by the continuous explosions of the local volcano and the lava that burned the rocks and made the land absorbing, porous and rich in porcelain. https://winetasting.santowines.gr/index.php/en/services/for-individuals-groups-up-to-10-pax

What better way to experience the rich culture and cuisine of Spain than through the most typical way to eat: tapas.
