Welcome To Our Italian Vacation Planner

Welcome to #tntitaly!

The "tnt" is for “Tim and TJ,” we’re planning a trip to Italy this spring and are sharing the process with you. This is our first trip to Italy – and abroad for that matter. I am a food and drinks journalist. TJ is a former journalist who has become a social worker and psychotherapist -- and we’re both n’ere-be-wrong Scorpios.

In beginning planning for our trip, I quickly became frustrated by the information that is available. There’s plenty of it – scattered like tissues in the wind all over the Internet. There are guide books, videos and blogs. There are as many “discount” sites for flights, lodging and car rental as there are days in the year.

Through this blog, we hope to give you a framework for planning your own trip. There will be ideas to take away for wherever you’re planning to travel – and other resources that are specific to Italy.

We planned to go last year, but didn’t. This spring, I got the offer of a working trip from one of my clients and it left me-- after three days-- in London. That company was gracious enough to give me a two-week return date – and suddenly, we’re just one-round-trip ticket away from two beautiful weeks in Italy. Stay tuned as I report on advice from seasoned Italian travelers, begin to lay out our itinerary and give you tips for planning, shopping for tickets, finding lodging and more.

Oh, the name #tntitaly – what’s that about? For once, I had some forethought – as we build this blog and then embark on our Italian adventure, we will post via Facebook, Twitter and Instagram using the hashtag #tntitaly.

Enjoy…and until next post…ciao!
