Italy is a land of rich and decadent foods, colorful citizens who live and love with passion and my dream vacation destination. I have dreamt of taking my large Italian family to Italy to walk the same roads as our ancestors since I was a young girl. Now is a time when I am able to splurge and bring my dream to fruition. The cost of taking my family to Italy will be quite exorbitant in monetary terms; the airfare alone is enough to make my piggy bank squeal in protest. My family thinks that a trip to Italy is too expensive and that I should not spend my money on something so extravagant. However, I do not feel one can put a price tag on the experience of exploring the country of my ancestors with my family.
