Italy and Sicily
My dream destination is to visit Europe, specifically Italy and Sicily and to eventually move there someday. I attend Nichols College in Dudley, Massachusetts and they have a trip going to London, England, Paris, France, Rome, Italy next year after the spring semester. The Trip for the school is approximately $2100 for Airfare and Hotel accommodations. This does not include spending money and meals. My grandfather is from Sicily, and my Grandmothers father was from Tuscany, Italy. Myself along with most of my family are Italian, so I would like to go see where my heritage came from. I would also like to go back a few years after I graduate College because there is so much more to see and explore. I would specifically like to see the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Pisa, Italy and the Colosseum in Rome, Italy. These two structures are huge pieces of Italian History, and during the reign of the Roman Empire. To get to Rome, airfare is around $1,554 for round trip. I would have to take Jet Blue Airways from Logan International Airport to John F. Kennedy Airport (JFK) in New York City. Then switch to Aer Lingus which is would then take me to Dublin, Ireland and then from Ireland take to Rome (Fiumicino FCO). So there are two lay overs in order to get to Rome. For a five star hotel in Rome, the Grand Hotel de la Minerve you would be paying approximately $254 a night. This hotel is right in the middle of Rome so this point, all of the tourist attractions would not be too far away from me. Those expenses do not include meals and spending money, so saving money is definitely going to be a key factor for going on this vacation. Another city that I would love to go visit in Italy would definitely be Venice. It is known as the "Floating City" because there are little to no roads or walk ways. Your way of travel is by boat through waterways. Venice is known for its remarkable Architecture and beautiful sight seeing areas that look out into the Mediterranean Sea. Someday I wish to visit all of Italy explore all of the country's great sites.
