Just a quick farewell from Italy... A quick stop to see the Leaning
Tower of Pisa and then it was off to Dublin to finish off our trip. We
flew Ryan Air, which is one of the low cost airlines in Europe (think
Southwest, but you have to pay for
anything extra). When I
booked, I made sure to register us for the higher weight limit (20 kg)
for our checked bag... and we made sure to check in before we got there
so we wouldn't have to pay to print our boarding pass. Just a note, we
were worried about the weight limit so we asked to weigh our bags before
the check-in process to make sure they were under the limit. The
check-in attendant was more than willing to let us, which was great. I
was nervous they would say no as John and I had a pretty rough time
leaving in 2008 and ended up paying a hefty fine for our overweight
bag. So definitely make sure that you do that - they are pretty strict.
Unless
you are flying in and out of Pisa, I don't believe it's worth a trip.
Maybe we missed out on something and didn't fully understand it? But
seriously, there is hardly anything there... just little shops, the
tower, and lots of people. It was also really hot in September. Not a
big fan.... But here are some final pictures to say goodbye.

newly stabilized Leaning Tower of Pisa.
The Alps - I've never really seen them, except from an airplane
or from a train.

the airplane on the way to Dublin.
One of the first
sighs of Ireland - and of course it's a golf course.
