Hey, @chadmichaellibby.
I'd love to go to Italy, too. I don't know if I've eaten authentic Italian food yet (only been to restaurants), but I've loved what I've eaten and it would be fantastic to go and get some true Italian food. And I understand the scenery is diverse and breathtaking from one side of the country to the other, and that the cities are just filled with history and art and architecture.
I hope you get to go. Maybe I'll convince my wife that's where we should vacation next. :)
