getting to Florence, italy - DAY 1-2 - March 6-7, 2023
We do like to go to Europe, but getting there and back is the worst portion of the trip - by far! We flew from Albuquerque to Denver; Denver to Munich, Germany; then Munich to Florence, Italy. The most amazing part was that we had no real delays or problems. Munich is an excellent modern airport and Florence is tiny - still uses stairs.

Elena Petrioli, our Viking tour director, met us after security at the airport and whisked us off to the Villa il Poggiale. The Villa was about 20 minutes outside of Florence in the Tuscan country side on top of a ridge. Everyone who was staying there was on our tour for the next 3 days. We had an excellent lunch and dinner at the Villa and slept well!!
