Planning Part #2 - The Itinerary and Evernote

3 weeks from today we leave!

So below is the gist of the itinerary that Christopher and I will be using for our trip to Italy. Before, I give you the itinerary...some have asked how we decided on these cities. For those of you who know us well, lets just say we are both the opposite of passive (that's a kinder way of saying we are strong willed). :) However, when it came to choosing these cities, we both agreed on all of them. Amazing! 

• 1st - Rome. This is where we we will fly in on the 10th and stay till the 15th of April. Self explanatory.

• 2nd - Assisi. Christopher read a book called Chasing Francis and since then he has wanted to go experience this city for himself. We will stay here from the 15th to the 17th of April.

• 3rd - Florence. Everyone has told us this is their favorite city in Italy. We of course wanted to experience Tuscany...so we settled on this as our city of choice. We will stay here the 17th to the 22nd of April.

• 4th - Bolgona. This is the city of food. So with us both being pretty big foodies...we had to make plans to stay here a few nights. We will stay here the 22nd to the 25th of April.

• 5th - Milan. This is the city of my choice. This is where fashion and art meet for the most finest experience. Side note - I am just in love with the little cottage/b&b we are staying at here. Check it out http://www.cocoonbb.com/. We will be staying here the 25th to the 29th of April.

• 6th (and final city) - Venice. I am very excited about this city as well. We are staying on the island of Lido during this leg of our trip. We will be here from April 29th to May 4th. We are also going to visit Burano and Murano while we are so close.

So Evernote.

Its a great tool (that works amazing on Apple products...allowing you to sync notes from your iphone, ipad, and MacBook). The reason I really like it is because I can lay out all of the random thoughts in my head (...and trust me there are a lot of them) related to a topic (I.e. Italy). It can be pictures, attachments from my email, weblinks I need to go back to, images of google maps, etc.

Ok thats it for tonight... what else should I write about before the trip? hmmm...we shall see?


Ciao!
