What a great city.
Enjoy.
Trip is not starting off so great. 14 of us. We were supposed go get here at 11am via Air France through Paris. Flights changed 4 times. Group was split up on two different flight finally all together at airport at 7pm. When all said and done 5 of the 14 had their luggage. Tomorrow is a new day. Just the start of a month trip.

It is all behind you now, Qhdeputy, and there is nothing ( hopefully) in your luggage you can not buy in Italy.
Todi, Umbria. Still no luggage for 9 of 14 people, but the Prosseco helps take the worries away.
Berkeley Springs, WV. Nice.

Is there another type?
I've only been once but we were impressed. Both service and food were top notch. Plus the prices are amazing for the quality/quantity of food. I don't think we cleared a single plate. We stayed for the entire dinner service (5 hours).quote:Originally posted by wine+art:quote:Originally posted by NolanE:Try Il Sogno yet?quote:Originally posted by wine+art:quote:Originally posted by wine+art:

Was on that same flight a bit over two weeks ago. Surprised you're flying out of FLL.

Awesome! Enjoy the Palazzo Strozzi tomorrow.

About 8 miles from you at the moment, billhike. Next time give us some notice and we'll get the gang together and drink bad wine!

In addition to PH's comment, if you're looking to eat out, try Cafe de Paris, in Columbia, one of our favorite haunts. Tell them you heard about the from Wine Spectator.
Yes. Ask for Eric and mention irwin. You'll be guaranteed a smile and a good meal.

Or mention Purple Haze. Best to brush up on your French before going though.
Brume de violet
The Logger's Jamboree in North Fork, the exact center of California. (or so they say)

Please send PBoy regards from my wife, my son (the one he spoke with), and me. That young man has a wonderful future.

We are in town quickly for a wedding that we just got back to the hotel from, so no dinners out. I did have time to sample some local brews at Ram's Head in Savage Mill earlier today, though.
Washington, DC. Seeing the actual flag that inspired the Star Spangled Banner was really incredible.
Davis Lake outside Minden in the Muskokas via Toronto! Lovin the cottage life, worry and stress-free.

Budapest is lovely. We stayed at the Sofitel, right on the Danube, spectacular view of the castle and Mathias Church. Our hotel, and the Intercontinental next door as well, are great locations for this city. Have a couple restaurant recs, both Italian (go figure; we didn't have goulash once in our 3 days there), and will post about them later.
We're on AMA Waterways Amalyra, really nice ship, very good food, very friendly and accommodating crew. Weather is gray and lightly raining, and we're about 2 hours outside of Bratislava, Slovakia. We've been here before, but it has charming Old Town that's worth exploring more than once.
Middle Europe in July-- weather should be MUCH better than this! Has anyone else noticed that the weather around the globe has become less predictable??
