Magnifica, indeed, on my way to Milan.
Landed just after sunset and my best friend Colby picked me up. The whole trip started a couple of months back when Colby phoned me from Afghanistan and said, "Would you come to Lake Como while I'm on leave?" My answer. "Yes, of course." I haven't seen the guy in two years since I was the best man in his wedding.
And, seriously, how could I ever pass up Como? I've always wanted to go to Italy, but I think this beats the family vacation in Rome by a long shot, sorry.
I even managed to allow myself some Coca-Cola.
This one isn't George Clooney's house, but we did stop by to say hello. From the boat.
The place in Alassio was almost as good, but was further from the water.
But I made use of the nearby pool.
I took the train from Alassio to Milan after saying goodbye to Colby and Sarah.
But ditched the train in Milan to take a Smart car up to Geneva for the day.
Instagramming the odometer turnt all the way up. Probably got a tunnel ticket for that one.
Such a beautiful night I spent with the Swiss.

Thank you for sharing your experience. The view from your room is breath taking. I am going to Italy this summer and am researching places to go in the country. I hope I have as good of a time as you did!
