Today’s {One Way Ticket} is by Christine, of the lovely blog, Just Bella. I have a fondness for Canadian bloggers (especially their fancy way of spelling words!), and Christine is definitely one of them! She has been bitten by the travel bug and her blog is full of her adventures. After reading this post, Italy has moved to the top of my list! Take it away, Christine!
I loooove to travel and, ohmygosh, to pick just one place is hard. There are so many places I want to go, I think I’ll have to narrow it down to one of my past faves. One thing I love just as much as traveling is eating, which is why if I could have a One Way Ticket, it would have to be back to bella Italia.
My husband I spent just over 2 weeks touring Italy on our honeymoon in June 2008. We hit up all the major destinations… Rome, Florence, Venice, but some of my absolute favourite times were spent in our little rental car exploring the countryside and tiny little beach towns.
From the little hill town in Tuscany…
… to the beautiful island of Venice and it’s neigbours Murano and Burano…
… to what I like to call heaven on earth…
Italy has so much of what I look for in a vacation – food, culture, beach, shopping… GELATO.
I can honestly say we ate our way through this beautiful country, and I would take a One Way Ticket back in a heartbeat. And although I may end up 20 or 30 pounds heavier, it’d be worth it. So, so worth it.
Another plus Italy has going for it is that it’s right near the beautiful country of Austria, which is also up there on my list of fave destinations… but that’s another post 🙂 (maybe next year’s trip, Cassie?)
Thanks so much for having me, Cassie, you’ve most certainly re-invoked the travel bug in me again! Seriously, I could talk for hours and hours and hours…
I hope you are having an amazing trip – enjoy every single second. I can’t wait to hear all about it!
Ciao bella!
Christine
You can bet Mr. Sugarplum and I are shoving back fistfuls of waffles, crepes and chocolate! That’s the main reason I packed my jeggings! Tomorrow is none other than the girl living out her One Way Ticket dream….Aspiring Kennedy!
