What a great day today was. Mia and I enjoyed our first mother/daughter ballet at the Teatro Massimo. It’s the third-largest theatre in all of Europe and it’s located in our very own Sicilian capital, Palermo! The ballet was Romeo and Juliet, not the standard telling of this classic love story, but a modern version, edgier, more complicated, a reflection of the time in which we live. It was captivating and intriguing, but just different enough where this 50-year-old needed an interpreter to explain parts of it. However, the basic concepts were still there and clear as the blue sky on a mid-summers’ day. Love, unity, and the experience of the very deepest of feelings. Diving into our feelings and opening up our hearts to what is possible can be daunting. It can be frightening even, to allow ourselves to be vulnerable and risk being hurt in the process, but this is the surest path to discovering love and experiencing the ultimate power of such a beautiful thing. Traveling is such, traveling is made of exploration and openness to new worlds and cultures, to discoveries and relationships. Traveling is something that allows us to say to one another that while you might live a certain way, you are willing to range beyond your comfort zone to explore new places and cultures with great anticipation and appreciation for every moment of it all. Traveling with See Italy always entails unexpected discovery, even when traveling through the major cities everyone knows by heart. What sets us apart are the undiscovered places, those places that mainstream companies won't talk to you about. Those “mainstream” companies use other suppliers to deliver these regions, WE DON'T! We sell from OUR personal connections! The ones we made when WE were on the road. We ONLY use connections that we have already had direct contact with. We have vetted these people and ONLY use the ones that fit our culture and our way of sharing our country with you. We don’t have to fit into their world because we already know that they fit perfectly into ours! We tried them, interviewed them, determined that their ethics and their “why” is a match to our own, used them for ourselves first, and NOW can reliably share them with you. This is why our NEW small group departures are unique, we have tested them on ourselves, then on our travel agent partners, then, and only then, do we share them with you. You can count on us for your travel because the people you will meet through us will be like a match made in heaven for you.
