Italy 2006 – 19 Hot Wonderful Days
Day 1 – We fly from Montreal to Frankfurt.
The start of a most memorable journey – 19 days in Italy (well actually 17 days if you remove the two travel days). We leave Sunday afternoon on Air Canada from Pierre Elliott Trudeau Airport – formerly called Dorval Airport.
We arrive in Germany the next day, it’s a 6 hour difference, to get a connecting Lufthansa flight to Italy.
It was a long tiring flight – in peasant class – but the beginning of a fantastic Italian vacation: great country, friends, food, and plenty of memories. Each journal entry represents a day, or part of a day, and is accompanied with photographs taken during the trip.
