I can't believe today is the start of the adventure for me! This trip to Italy started as a shared idea for a group of friends to come together and celebrate turning 50! We threw the idea out there, chatted about timelines and asked who was in? Well, months later, a few zoom meetings in and we are on our way!!
The Sipping Sorellas are set to start a week full of fun and adventure in Florence on April 26th. We have been friends for decades. Life can take over and there were years when our lives were full of busy times raising kids and running families and working but we have all managed to reconnect and pick up as if no time has passed. Our reconnection was born during covid lockdowns. Zoom meetings were our conduit to meet and laugh together!
Christine, Julie M, Erica, Julie W, Lori and I were all in for this crazy adventure. Unfortunately life has re-routed Julie W and she cannot attend. We are taking her in our hearts and on What's App for the ride, she may be sick of our messages by the end!
Erica and Julie M are starting their trek in Naples and should have their feet on the ground right about now. Their flights connected them through Zurich and it seems Swiss Air has won the prize for best airline so far (photo evidence below).
Swiss Air For The Win!! |
I take off from Calgary this evening - I am the farthest West but ended up with the only direct flight! I am starting off in Rome and will meet up with Julie M and Erica in Rome to kick off our exploring. I am somehow sure I will look much more haggard than these two travellers! Follow along for some amazing pics and crazy stories. Arriverderci for now...
