Around the World with Marsha & Joel

(First leg of the journey on Austrian Air with a stop in Vienna. Only a seven and a half hour flight, barely enough time to catch a few winks. I decided to be smart this journey and order lactose-free meals for our flights. Would have been better to get the regular meals and remove the cheese! Dinner was a frizee salad with sliced chicken breast on top. The entree, I swear, was steamed chicken breast. Later, breakfast was served. You guessed it – a chicken breast paninni (no cheese). Cluck, cluck. We’re waiting for our connecting flight to Venice….)

It’s time to pack up and fly off to that nifty old boot in the Mediterranean again. Lots of years have passed by, but we have a great excuse to go back and check out some wonderful new places. We’ll be traveling with our friends Linda and Josh Milstein (who we were with in Alaska last year). We’ll be landing in Venice Saturday, November 7th and staying at an AirBnB in Cannaregio — the site of the Venetian ghetto until the late 18th century.

After a couple of days we’ll be renting a car and driving south into the heart of Umbria where we’ll be staying with Josh’s sister and brother-in-law in their magnificent Yoga Borgo (check out their website: Yoga Borgo) — much more about that later. We’ll be off on day trips from there…with you we hope!

Ciao!

For those diehards among you (I know there are a few) who really like to look at “vacation” photos — I’ve set up a link to where we’ve deposited the “other” photos (that didn’t make previous posts). So if you’re really curious just click below to explore Alaska a little more deeply. Once you’re in the site you can poke around at some of our other adventures too.
