We visited Italy in May of 2007, but it was an rapid-paced tour of the most popular cities - Rome, Venice, Florence, etc. And a blanketing fog had obscured much of the famed Tuscan landscape. So when the opportunity arose to return to northern Tuscany - this time on our own and with the flexibility of both time and our own rental car - we boarded a plane from DC to New York then to the Galileo Galilei airport in Pisa.
