"Never go on trips with anyone you do not love." Ernest Hemingway
THE HAPPY COUPLE



Hi there, Mark & Sally here, and we hail from Texas. After forty plus years of hard work and raising a family, we are finally retired. Our new passion is traveling Europe with Rick Steves and company. We are delighted to show you our Italian adventure. Sally and I both have ties to Italy and couldn't wait to walk in the footsteps of our ancestors. The Rick Steves' Best of Italy tour was fantastic, and we truly didn't want to leave. You can plan, you can save, but don't wait! Folks, the time is now. There will never be a perfect time to travel. Get out there and just do it. Even a horrible day with the rain pouring down, and getting pooped on by a pigeon eventually turns into a cherished memory. Trust us on that! Please enjoy all of the original photos we used on this site. And thank you Rick Steves for a wonderful Italian vacation.
