Departed New York for Italy for your 10-year anniversary trip.
It was such a great trip!! We went from place to place and we saw the leaning tower of Pisa!!!
If I went again I would try a diff thermal pool I think, and try to do the hot air balloon in Tuscany at 6 am, and in Venice I would stay closer to the Jewish ghetto (everytime we left the hotel it was 100 dollars for the water taxi).
Hope I inspire you to have a great trip too!
