In the 5 years we've been married we've never taken an exotic vacation. Even our honeymoon wasn't all that exotic - we drove to Seaside, 2 hours away at the beach, and stayed for 3 nights.
So now that I have a full time job we've decided to take a real live exotic vacation. We're going to Italy.
We're planning on going in June 2008for 8-10 days. We'd like to do a self guided bike tour through Tuscany for 3 days, plus wander around Tuscany and Rome a bit as well. The bike tour bit means 30-40 miles on a bike each day so we've started training now. Right now we're taking 2-3 10-15 mile rides a week. We'll be upping the mileage over the weeks and eventually up the number of days as well. From what we're reading it's all about time in the saddle and working on hills, so that's what we're doing.
Our goal is to be able to do Portland to Champoeg, about a 50 mile ride, by May. We figure if we can do that we're ready for Italy.
Maybe while we're there I can talk Ricky into some new bling. It is our 5th anniversary trip, after all.
