The Italian Journals: Where to Go, What to Eat and Who to Leave at Home

Can two guys enjoy a trip to Italy with their wives and still like each other at the end? That's not a rhetorical question; we'd really like to know because we couldn't pull it off. When one of your traveling companions is Dean "Dino" D'Adamo, and the rest are human beings, you get one part vacation and one part failed sociology experiment.

The Italian Journals is a unique and hilarious take on the classic vacation to Rome, Florence, and Venice. You'll actually read two separate accounts of the same trip, and at times ask yourself if it actually was the same trip. We ask ourselves the same question, and we were there.

Sure, you'll get some excellent tips on things to do and see in Italy, but let's face it, you can get that anywhere. What we've added is all of the eye-rolling, head shaking, muffled-grunting frustration and aggravation that make a vacation truly memorable.
