we began in Venice

by Michelle

Spending an Italian holiday with three of my closest friends is a bucket list scratch.

Each of us has experienced life changing on a dime. Knowing that this opportunity may never happen again inspired us to live in the moment. The chances of four women spending eleven days together without a hiccup only happens when you collectively commit to not stress about anything.

That is exactly what we did.

From being whisked to Hotel Carlton Capri via water taxi to sipping Aperol Spritz beside the Grand Canal, we felt like we were all sharing the same beautiful dream.

Our gondola ride, Walks of Italy tour guide, Andrea D’Alpaos, lazy long lunches, Rossinis on a rooftop terrace, aimlessly wandering through the Venetian nights, and pizza made Venice an absolutely perfect way to begin our holiday.

Thanks for reading.

Was great to see a few pics of your amazing trip…so happy for you all and yes, what an experience for close friends to share together. True close friends are gifts from God that cannot be bought and are priceless treasures. So glad that you got to enjoy your treasures together to make lasting memories of the heart.
