Doing 3 cities in 7 days was far too ambitious for our first Italian whirlwind of a trip but hey we did it and my feet are SORE!

Biggest accomplishments:

✔️ Finally walking the ancient streets of Pompeii and seeing the famous cast of the man who tried to get up in his last moments (so tragic).
✔️ Riding a gondola in the actual Venice canals (not the one in LA or the one in Vegas haha).
✔️ 30,000 steps a day (honestly v proud).
✔️ Seeing our friends tie the knot on the Amalfi coast (so romantic).

Biggest Travel Learnings:

✔️ Flats can still be extremely painful (women need better options for cute, comfy, dressy shoes).
✔️ Don’t travel without cash (oops).
✔️ Don’t travel without a debit card esp when you forgot the cash (let’s just say stressing out about not being able to pay for things in euros was 100% the backbone of this trip).
✔️ Always pack your personal bag with emergency undies, contacts, toothbrushes, skincare etc bc when we missed our connecting flight back to the U.S. due to a delay, we were stranded for the night in a foreign city with NOTHING.

Amalfi, Venice and Rome were so impressive – rich with history and bursting with stunning architecture, but it was A LOT to take in in such a short amount of time.

I need a vacation after this vacation 😅
