My girls first international trip was to Italy, the first stop being Venice. Lucky them, I hadn’t even been there yet. I had the chance to go in college when I was backpacking with a friend, but when two cute Australian boys we met in Florence asked us if we wanted to check out this amazing hostel that we had to hike up to in the Swiss alps, we naturally high-tailed it with them! (and it was worth it – the hostel was out of a story book). But that meant we had to forego Venice, and with yet another trip to Italy years later, I still had not been to this magical city.
