So far I have had the opportunity to travel to Italy twice, and see three different areas.

In March of 2008 I traveled with my ski club to Val Gardena in the Dolomites. after a week of skiing we spent a couple of days in Venice before returing to the states. It was an incredible blend of experiences.

Then in December of 2009, another incredible opportunity came my way. I was part of a familiarization tour spnsored by the Italian Tourist Board of North America nad Italia Airlines. This short 5-day adventure introduced me to the Trentino area which included the Brenta Dolomites of Italy.

The photo to the left is our attractive waitress at the Andalo ski area in the Trentino region serving our group a tray of Bombardinos - a local favorite.
