I watched or read where Rick Steve's says he ruined Cinque Terra, I think "changed" not ruined. I can say I feel like Kenny Chesney changed St John quicker than any travel book could have done, great spots unfortunately do change. I'm a fan of his music and I actually watch Rick Steve's shows, I often google trip itineraries and have yet to find one that we would follow to a T on any trip. I'm finding youtube videos helpful., but let's talk about drones....beautiful aerial shots, but I prefer ground level to actually see what I would see walking.

Our daughter came over for a visit last night, we are not even close to an itinerary. Discussions included different lakes, Barolo'ish towns (biking through vineyards!), Italian Riviera, Tuscany, Rome, Sardinia (daughters DNA turned up 1% ha!), Amalfi Coast etc. so at least we have a few weeks to decide! Carol are you feeling itchy??

Great quote Tom, here's a pic of a board my daughter made for me....
