    763
    4J, Flagship Service

    9/2

    763
    FCO-LHR

    Organized?

    Oh yeah, Tommy is a regular capo going back to the motherland ;)
    And I, I took the path less traveled by
    and that has made all the difference......yet...
    I have a feeling a handle of people are going to be very interested in what I post in the near future.

    Tommy

    Venice & Milan are amazing....

    In Venice, would suggest studying up on the water taxis as that is the only way to get from place to place.

    Milan - I spent hours at the El Domo alone

    Tommy,

    JoAnn and I just did the Tauck Tour -Italian Lakes and Cities. We flew into Milan, went to Lugano, where we visited Tremezzo, Como and Bellagio, on Lake Como, then went to Venice, Florence, Siena and Rome. It was an amazing trip.

    Call me and I will give you some hints.....

    Also--need a referral to the product manager for dental imaging.

    Thanks!

    Enjoy Italy. My dad is there about 7 to 10 times a year on business and to visit our family over there in Genoa. Enjoy.
