Longest overseas trip we have ever taken, almost 5 weeks in September and October. Just over two weeks in Turkey on a Rick Steves tour, then time in Italy, hiking the Amalfi Coast with friends and then exploring a few new (and a couple of familiar) places. The perfect antidote for a summer spent cleaning, tossing, packing and moving!
