"We prefer B&Bs to hotels and stay in them whenever it's practical. We enjoy meeting the locals and getting the inside scoop on local attractions ad restaurants. Also, it's great not to have to vacate the room immediately in the morning. Home-cooked…"
"Hi, Barbara and welcome! I LOVE Ravenna -- I took some friends there last May (it was my second trip). Glad to know somebody there (and in Bologna and Ferrara, other favorite cities!) for the next time. A presto -- Linda"
"Ciao, Maria Cristina! Thanks for the "friending" on Tripatini. I love Milano and have several friends there, and also in Verona. I'm hoping to take a small group to Le Marche this fall but, who knows? Perhaps we'll come and go via Milano! I'm going…"
"Good for you, Ed, and good luck! I was stiffed last year by a NYC design firm who reduced my rate for writing a brochure for a client of theirs (as always, on the promise of more work in the future) and then never paid. Never. Despite repeated calls…"
"I certainly will! And just to clarify -- Dream of Italy is the brainchild of Kathy McCabe and I just write for it from time to time. You can follow my blog at travelthewriteway.com. I'm looking to put together a small writers workshop/touring event…"
"Ciao and welcome! I just returned from a 2-week adventure in Italy that spanned Sulmona up to Civitella del Tronto, then La Tavola Marche near Piobbico, onto Ravenna and finally Verona. We cooked and ate our way through! If you know Dream of Italy…"
"Buona sera a tutti! Happy to see my book mentioned in the Dream of Italy feed above -- what a nice way to join the group! Hope you'll check out my blog, too! A presto -- Linda"
Nice to meet you Linda! Next time when you'll come to Italy, it could be nice to meet you in person. If you look for info about my area (Ravenna, Bologna and Ferrara) go and see my FB page and Like it! :) http://facebook.com/RavennaGuide and facebook.com/RavennaBolognaGuidaTuristica (IT) See you :). Barbara
Ciao Linda and... grazie a te! It sounds like you are very familiar with my areas. Very good! Next time you will be around, I would love to know you in person. Let's have coffee and a chat! If you come to Le Marche this coming fall, you could divert to Milan or Florence! Keep me posted.
Good afternoon, Linda, and welcome to Tripatini! It's great to have you with us -- and we think you'll find our site productive as well as interesting and enjoyable.
To get the most out of Tripatini, we recommend you take a moment to join several of our many groups which you may find of particular use, such as Media Only; Italy; Spain; United Kingdom; Wine Tourism; Eating/Drinking the World; the Book Club; our Spanish and Italian language/culture clubs; and plenty of others covering many other topics and most destinations across the globe.
FYI, on your profile you'll see a green bar marked "Text Box," which you can turn into a box containing not just text but also photos and even videos about yourself, your travels, your writing/outlets and other activities, and more. We'll also be happy to promote your book as a member courtesy.
Finally, if you would, please be so kind as to spread the word among your travel-interested friends, family, colleagues, associates, and audience. It's fast and easy to use our "INVITE" function above left on the navigation bar to enter e-mails (even your whole list at once!). Finally, please join our Facebook fan page and follow us on Twitter (see front page info box); we'll be happy to reciprocate!
Thanks much for joining us; we wish you an outstanding rest of 2010, and it goes without saying that we look forward to seeing you online.
