Hi there. You've reached the unabridged travel log of two sisters and our great Italian adventure. We spent three glorious weeks in Italy visiting Tuscany, Rome and Sardegna. Every day we each kept a brief diary of the day's adventures in pocket-sized spiral notebooks we carried with us everywhere we went.
This table of contents has a few active links to our stories. The other stories aren't published online. If you'd like to read some of the others, just contact me, cripchick52@yahoo.com, tell me the name of the story you're interested in or the travel log Day, and I'll send it to you in an e-mail.
We hope you find these stories amusing. My sister and I sure had fun living them :-]
Editor's Note: The title of this page "Our Ladies of Perpetual Hangover" is somewhat misleading and was just an inside joke between two cradle catholic sisters sampling many bottles of vino in our quest to find the one we liked best! In truth, we were only really hungover on two days, and that was never from the Italian wine, but only from too much Sambuca on Day 9 and Day 12! Salute! :-] And lastly, but most importantly, we in no way intend to disrespect Our Lady of Perpetual Help whom we indeed honor and love every day of our lives.
