Italy is easy to navigate around and it was no time before we reached the city of Siena. Firstly we drove into the city as far as was allowed and then realized that we would have to park outside the city limits, so we drove back out to find a park. Of course the only spot available was on a hill and we had to reverse park, something neither of us are keen on at the best of times. Remembering that we are doing this in reverse to how we usually park because everything is on the opposite side of…

The Society – Guiseppe Armani Factory
Friday, July 27th, 2007 at
12:20 pm
We do get lost a couple of times but finally we see the sign in the distance. And now another fiasco. We drive into what we think is the right place and before we know it here comes a car at high speed and he cuts us off and jumps out of his car and comes running over. What are we doing here, we are trespassing. It turns out we have gone into some secret area where the public are not allowed to go. So we explain that we have an appointment at the showroom and that we have come…
A Trip Through Tuscany to Casole d’ Elsa Looking For Guiseppe Armani
Friday, July 27th, 2007 at
11:46 am
Next morning we are up bright and early to catch the bus out to the airport to pick up the car. We aren’t sure what to expect as we haven’t actually seen a Smartcar in Australia. After picking up the keys and getting directions as to how to get back into Florence, we head off to the car park. And there it is a tiny little thing with just enough room for the two of us and a couple of handbags. It is so cute that we have to keep looking at it, considering it looks like a tonka toy….
A Walk Around Florence
Friday, July 27th, 2007 at
8:20 am
My main reason for coming to Florence is to visit the factory of Guiseppe Armani “The Society“. I collect Armani porcelain and so this is exciting for me to be able to see where and how the statues are made. However, before we go in search of the factory we need to pick up the car we will be using to drive around Tuscany, from the Florence airport but we will do this in the morning. Today is like any other day that we arrive in a new city, we book into the hotel, drop off the luggage, freshen up…
ARA Shoes – Great for Walking
Friday, July 27th, 2007 at
6:11 am
When we where in Florence a couple of years ago, we purchased some great walking sandals. We had done so much walking around Europe in joggers that our feet were ready to drop off. ARA Sandals are the most comfortable shoes we have ever worn. So naturally when they eventually wore out we set off to buy some more. Easier said than done. They are made in Germany and we were unable to find local stockists when we were first looking for them. So we thought we would buy some when we went to the US for the Affiliate Summit. Oh…
We Are Back Home in Australia!

Well we have been back in Australia for about a week now but already we are planning for our next trip. We are hoping to go to the States in February next year for the next Affiliate Summit to be held in Las Vegas. We seemed to get over the jet lag a lot quicker coming home than we did going over. Not sure why this was. Next time we want to go business class so that we don’t arrive in the States completely drained. It took us about 4 days to really get over the jet lag. We kept…
Our last day in New York
Tuesday, July 17th, 2007 at
9:40 am
This morning we slept in as long as possible and then headed down to the breakfast area as we had free vouchers with our accommodation. We both ordered eggs benedict which came with tea and orange juice and we also ordered a fruit smoothie as well at $8 each!! Still it was worth it. I have to say that the fruit was really tasty everywhere we went and the fruit smoothies are so full of flavor and it’s the one thing that the Americans don’t seem to add extra sweetness to. I found the sweet taste of things a bit…
Back to New York
Monday, July 16th, 2007 at

This morning we got up early for our flight to New York which was leaving Miami International Airport at 7.45am. We decided to set the clock for 4.30am. This might sound early but we had to drive to the airport and we knew that it would be easy for us to get lost. As it turned out we did the right thing. Crawling out of bed after spending a late night at Disney World wasn’t the most fun thing to do but we got ready and headed out to the car to head off to the airport. We drove around…
Back to Disney World MGM Studios & The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror
Saturday, July 14th, 2007 at
5:39 am
As this was our last day at Disney we wanted to make the most of it so after seeing everything we needed to see at Epcot we headed over to MGM Studios. We took the shuttle boat from Epcot and landed at MGM Studios about 20 minutes later. Once at MGM we headed straight for the The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror as we never got around to this ride on our first visit a couple of days before. We used our Disney Vacations fastpass card and got onto the ride within minutes. This would have to be one of…
