Adding a Few Sips of Wine to My Editor’s Italian Itinerary
Wednesday, November 7th, 2012[As a toast to all those who were able to vote yesterday, I offer some good travel advice from guest blogger and thriller author Gina Fava to her editor. Thank you, Gina. My apologies again for not including your lovely pictures—I don’t include them to speed up loading on slower systems and browsers. Readers can see them in Gina’s original post.]
Amanda’s Italian Itinerary While sharing a bottle of Castello Banfi’s Rosso di Montalcino 2006, with my editor and friend, Amanda—more on her professional editing company later—we poured over photos from a recent trip my family and I had taken to Italy.
She told me that she and her husband had dreamed of visiting Italy someday as the ultimate anniversary gift to each other. They even had their ideal itinerary planned, which included such cultural gems as Florence, Rome, and Venice.
I told her to scrap the plan. (Cue the scratch of the needle on the vinyl album.)
Romantic anniversary, trip to Italy, lovers of fine wine? Redo. Add some wine to this itinerary, and now you’ve got something to write home about! A trip with such promise MUST incorporate a drive through the hills of Tuscany.
