Recently my husband and I had the luxury of spending a month in Italy. Although I have dual citizenship, it was my first trip to this beautiful country.
All we knew was that we would take trains to get around, hire a driver to tour the Amalfi Coast and rent a car to explore the hard to get-to areas. Also, we did not want to do anything that would require a purchased ticket. Instead we wanted to spend all our time absorbing the towns, the food, the countryside, the culture. (We relied on Google Translator A LOT!)
