I have settled on a trip to Italy late September, early October this year, as my annual destination in Europe. And, although I have been to the country every year for the past decade or so, I cannot get enough of it. Alternating cities every year or not, making the trip always memorable.

So here is what I am thinking:  Venice, Verona, Florence, Rome, Sorrento, Positano, Capri with a few Tuscan cities in between.  I haven’t done this combination nor been to the southern Italy for a while, so I am excited.

Of course research is always fun, and I have found some interesting articles to keep the momentum, and set the mood.

One year I am going to make it to the famous Carnival in Venice – until then this article will just have to do

A list of hotels naturally I plan to check out

Ten things You should know about San Pellegrino – the sparkling water I always order when in Italy
