Check it out ...

OK, so I said I had written my final blog about my trip last month. I'm actually not lying about that.

Instead, what I am writing about is a website I'd like to recommend to you if you are at all interested in seeing some of the places I was fortunate to see (and even some I didn't make the time to do on what was my first trip to Italy and Europe).

If you are curious, check out www.spiritofplaces.com

This is a newly updated site for the business run by Alvaro Pisoni, a friend of my family who we knew when we lived in Colorado way back when. Alvaro's role in helping me with my trip was monumental and I can sum it up in one word: GIUSI!

Alvaro connected me with her prior to my flight to Turin (Torino) and he also gave me some good information on Italy before I left which came in quite handy during my stay.

As for Alvaro's business, this is a venture he's been doing for years. He had told me that he was in the process of updating the website, going to Italy to update his many places that his group travel business can use to accomodate those interested in a trip there and more.

I trust Alvaro to be a smart businessman as well as someone who, if you are going to Italy for the first time or the 10th time, he'd likely be able to make it quite memorable.

So there you have it -- I recommend you check out his website (be sure to login, it's free to do it) and if travelling to Italy for pleasure, be sure to check out what his business can do to help you plan something memorable.

Ciao!
