*** If you have already read the blog for Monaco, I have corrected an error. Land in Monaco is $125,000 per square meter, not the $125 I had original posted. Today we ported in La Spezia which is the closest port to Florence and Pisa. Our tour was an all day tour so we started early. We met the girls at Cabanas at 6:15. Regan had not felt well overnight and was a little shaky as to whether she was going to be ok to go but she decided to go. We met in the Walt ...

We met the girls in Cabanas at 8:15 so we could be in Fathoms at 9:00 for our excursion.

After a having a few issues and having to call American Express, and make three trips to the ATM, I was able to get some cash. I then went back to the hotel, we got ...

Our plane from Atlanta landed a few minutes late at 8:45. We got off the plane and through customs really quickly and then had a wait for our luggage. They told us their commitment for luggage was 40 minutes but, they beat that. The front pocket of Kelsie's suitcase was ripped off in the journey from Salt Lake City so we had to make arrangements for Delta to repair it once we get home. Then we met our driver who loaded us in his van and drove us to the Hilton ...
