Nep will be returning from Italy on Jun 17. I will high five him as I depart on Jun 18 to go to Italy.

Backstory: Mrs. Aqua and I declared before we were married (27 years ago) that we would go to Italy together. We have planned this trip 3 times. Each time, some sort of crisis has intervened (the most recent of which was COVID). This time, we are FINALLY completing our bucket list. (Fingers crossed, who knows what chaos may happen in the next week.)

Agenda:
- Fly Jun 18-19 to Venice
- Jun 20: Gondola ride. Cheesy but necessary.
- Jun 21-28: Cruise departing Venice, with stops in Croatia, Greece, Sicily, ending in Rome
- Jun 28-Jul 6: Finding our way from Rome back to Venice via the Vatican, Florence museums, Agriturismo experiences in Tuscany, all planned by Mrs. Aqua and I have no idea where we'll be but it will be awesome
- Jul 7: Fly home

I'll have wifi, my phone and laptop and may, when bored, occasionally check in and participate in a few things. But DL will be low on my priority list. Honestly the highest chance of participation is during the cruise when I'll have wifi and my laptop and prepaid bar tab. That may or may not improve the quality of my RP.

TLDR: I'll be around and slow but no nagging allowed, especially if you're Miales.

Aqua! High five back at ya!

Have fun in Italy. We flew into Venice too. I love your itinerary. Very cool. Beware the ZTL zones.

We did north Italy:
Flew into Venice, drove to Lake Como (Bellagio), drove to Milan, Saw the Last Super, drove to Chianti stopping in Bologna (I had to have pasta bolognese). The villa we stayed at in Chianti redefined what a "10" is. It was absolutely incredible. Saw La Traviata in the Verona Arena and then spent some time in the amazing Dolomites before flying out of Venice.

I attached a photo of Neptune (me) with the original (at least older) version from Bologna.

I have friends coming Friday through Sunday this week. Hopefully I can post Friday morning, probably not Saturday or Sunday.

Greetings from Pienza, citta di luce (city of light).

I’ll possibly post tonight but tomorrow will be unplugged driving through the Val d'Orcia, taking pictures and stopping randomly, and finishing with an agriturismo dinner.

Next day driving to Verona. Should be on daily after that.

Driving Italy is the way to do it! Have fun!
