A Week in Sicily: The Most Awesome, Unforgettable Vacation with 29 Friends!

Hi guys! This is going to be a bit more personal than usual.

Some people thought that the idea of vacationing on
the island of Sicily with 29 close friends was nuts.

How would we manage a group that large?

Wouldn’t there be a lot of “drama?”

Well, we DID have some drama… the fun kind!

First, thank you to my husband, Howard
for researching and organizing the trip. You are amazing.

I think the keys to having such a great time

with this large of a group were:

1. We all love each other. We have been friends for many years and our kids have grown up together.

2. The awesome Villa Zinna was spacious enough for all.

3. We had organized, pre-planned and
well run excursions by Agave Travel Creative.
4. Some delicious dinners were prepared for us by Villa Zinna and we had restaurant reservations for others
(thanks for making them, Netta).

The owners, Salvatore and Michael have lovingly
restored Villa Zinna.

They have a great sound system and we had dance parties out here every night.

Good thing there are no close neighbors.

Our stone walled guest rooms were actually once stables.

Thank you, Carlos Alfonso for most of these photos

in this post (which were way better than mine).

Below are some of the fantastic tours we took thanks

to Marcello at Agave Travel Creative.

We had to split up onto two boats which was OK as the “kids” (mostly adults now) had rap music on their boat and we had all the wine on our boat!

Many thanks to Julz for planning the Caftan 60’s Party. She told us to bring caftans and then she brought all hair accessories, make-up and earrings. Her husband, Billy got the party going with cocktails.

So, we felt glamorous and silly and happy!
