DON'T BE THE FAT AMERICAN PLAN

I gotta get a plan. Quick!

I have six weeks to work a miracle! I'm a damn planner. I'm hard headed. I will make this happen!

What the hell am I talking about?

Our trip to Italy, and my fear of being the dreaded fat American!

I don't want to be the FAT AMERICAN!

 So I need your help to keep me on track. First, let me tell you about the trip. I told you I was a planner. Planning trips is kinda my thing.

First stop Sardinia, the island off the coast of Italy. Island = water. Water = swimsuit. Swimsuit = Gotta get toned up!

We will be in Carloforte for six nights.

After a week of beach, boating, sun and wine we head to Tuscany.

We have a villa in this heavenly vineyard for a week. Life is hard.

The villa has a pool. Pool = more damn water & swimsuits & more reasons to need to get my ass in shape!

A fat ass would totally ruin this view!

At this point we don't have any specifics planned for our week in Tuscany. Here are a few of the places we're considering. I'd love feedback if you have visited the area.

Lucca

Montalcino

Montepulciano

San Gimignano

Siena

Pisa

 From Tuscany we head to Rome for four days. Thank goodness for no swimsuits in Rome. I'm quite sure after two weeks of eating and drinking wine in Italy no swimsuit will fit!

Rome = LOTS OF WALKING

This is why I need a plan. Too much swimsuit wearing. Too many photos to be taken. I will NOT be the fat American.

Seriously, I can't go to Italy looking like this!  I know I was damn sexy, but once in a lifetime is enough  for that hair & triple chin beauty.
