Well, "Us", but it's "us" as defined by me.
I'm planning a trip to France and Italy in Oct/November 2013 for the whole family. Super N will be 12 and Miss E will be 10, which is old enough to appreciate stuff. Because I want to share this with the husband and kids and it won't happen if I don't plan it and make it happen. Life is short and I want to do some adventuring.
Two weeks. Paris, Lyon, Pisa, Prato, Venice, Ravenna, and home via Milan. Maybe Verona or Citacinqua (however you spell that) - the 5 cities with miles of beach on the west coast - if there's time. There will be textile side trips (of course), but it's also going to be focused in cool historical stuff, like Arc d'Triumph, Catacombs, the alleys and Roman bath in Lyon, etc.
The last "learn Italian" stuff I got was okay, but not great. I hear rave reviews for Rosetta Stone. Any other suggestions for "learning at home" type of stuff?
