Getting ready for Holiday

Tomorrow we leave on holiday.  We pick our rental car in Bologna (1).  We will then head down to Lucca di Bagni (2) to spend a few days in the mountains.  We will also be going to Pisa  and Lucca.  From there we will be heading to the Manarola (3) in the Cinque Terre.  It is a little village perched on the cliffs by the ocean.  It should be awesome. We have to come back to Parma (4) for the day.  Kellen wants to listen to a geologist give a presentation and hopefully set up a time to come back to Italy this fall to meet with him, the geologist, to share research.  We will take a train to Firenze or Florence (5).  We only have two days there so we will be rushed to see it all.  We head to Roma (6) on the 13th to spend one day there before we head back to the states on the 15th.  We are really excited about going on holiday.  Hopefully we will be able to post pictures along the way.
