Insight Coach Tours
How lucky am I? I’ve been to Italy not once,
but three times. On my first trip in the 1980s I travelled alone with a Eurail
youth pass and a copy of Europe on $20 a Day. I saw some amazing things but the
memories, like my old photographs, are fading and there’s no one who can fill
in the blanks. My daughter came along on my most recent trip and now we can
reminisce together for many years to come. The escorted group tour with Insight
Vacations was also much more carefree than that first solo journey.

Oh, Paris
I'm shocked and saddened by the tragic events in Paris last night.
I remember the city in happier times...

At Last, the Venice of My Dreams
When I was planning my first trip to Venice
a few years ago I dreamed of sitting on Piazza San Marco at twilight, sipping
on a fruity peach Bellini while I listened to a café orchestra. But my dreams
were squelched by an unfortunate spell of rainy weather. Where were the sunny
skies I’d envisioned for my Italian holiday?
