Where We Were 10 Years Ago On This Date
It was amazing that this trip ever took place. Our first trip to Europe was 10 years ago. We had planned to go to Italy for about a year and a half. The date was finally rolling along when 9/11 happened. Air traffic was stopped on that day and our thoughts were that the trip would be cancelled. However, there where two more weeks to go and the "show" went on. I remember that the plane was three quarters empty on the way over. Apparently many people cancelled their trips as America was feeling the tensions of traveling, so soon after a catastrophic event..
The trip was planned by Deb's uncle who came with us, along with his entire family, Deb's Mom, sister, and brother-in-law. We would visit Rome, Pisa, and Florence. We spent the first couple days in Rome touring the city, including a trip to the Vatican, then took the train to Pisa, where we would rent cars and drive to nearby Luca. We stayed in a villa in Luca taking day trips to Sienna, Pisa, Florence, and Cinque Terre. Hopefully we can go back to visit again.
