We will be down in the crypt!!!!

Brighten a gray and blustery Ohio winter anticipating sunny Italy and an 11-day late April trip filled with laughter, good times and new adventures.  Theses tours are one of a pair of amazing offerings from ..Cleveland.. by Tom and Debra Fitzgerald, the Painesville couple best known for their hospitality at Fitzgerald’s Irish Bed & Breakfast. The cold months will fly by as you curl up to research Rome, Cinque Terre, Bologna or Milan and the Vatican.  Two nights are spent in most hotels for rare leisure time on a motorcoach tour.
Or start choose a 15-day autumn dream trip with three days each in Paris.. and Barcelona. In between is a seven-night river voyage along the legendary Rhone fueled
by extraordinary wines and foods— all included.  Passengers meet the elegant Swiss Pearl in Lyon, France’s gastronomic capitol, after a high speed TGV train from Paris.
Each adventure includes a pre-trip gathering to meet traveling companions, get packing tips and learn about exchange rates.  Full details and prices on both tours are available at www.FitzgeraldBB.com or contact the Fitzgerald’s at 440- 630-0845.  Both trips are selling rapidly.
