Hi guys! Welcome to The Blog! If you're new to the world of Blogs, it's pretty simple; BLOG is short for Web-log... and it's simply a website written in reverse order, kind of like a diary...

We've had these BLOG sites running continuously over the past 17 years, and for the 8 years before that, we sent out daily group emails... We had a little trouble in the beginning getting folks to embrace the technology 25 years ago, but today we find that most folks understand and enjoy the benefits... We'll post informational articles and videos specific to France, Provence and your upcoming Tour to this site on average about 2 - 3 times a week over the next 30 weeks... Sometimes more - sometimes less... In the very beginning, during the first week of The Blog, we'll post more often during these first couple of months as the information we provide will hopefully help you with your advance planning, and then we'll drop back to about two posts a week up until your departure... And most of these posts will take only about 3 minutes or less to read or watch... Ultimately, if you follow along, the posts that you'll read will be like reading a personalized travel guidebook designed specifically around your trip! You'll find the personality of the site to be casual, light, easy and humorous...
Don't be underwhelmed by what you see here today... This is just the first day... We've learned over the years to keep it short and simple when we first introduce you to these resources... You'll find that as you check back regularly, that the site will expand every few days... not just with our posts, but also with travel tools, resources and ever-expanding features in the right side bar that will help you better understand the who, what, when, where and how's of your upcoming Adventure to The South of France! By the way, if you're viewing this on your phone, you may not be seeing the side bar (to the right of the posts)... If you're not seeing the side bar on your phone, scroll to the very bottom of the page and click on "view web version." This sidebar will expand dramatically over time to offer you many resources like currency exchange rates, weather, car rentals, flight research, language tools, travel insurance, train tickets, etc...
So we're hoping you get here often... It's a simple formula - we've found over the years that those who follow the blog most closely, tend to get the very most out of their vacations! They know and understand how to prepare for their trip, what they need, the best way to get what they need, the itinerary, where we're going, what to expect, what's included, and how to best prepare and enjoy their vacation! We hope you enjoy! As always, if you have questions, please reach out to us... You can email us anytime at AdventuresToTuscany@gmail.com or call us 9am - 6pm Eastern time Monday - Saturday at 610-657-7894. We're honored that you chose Adventures to Tuscany for your vacation, and we'll do our very best to show you an outstanding experience!
(as we just need to confirm everyone's getting our email notifications, could you just reply to the email we just sent you... all you gotta say is "Got It". Thanks!)
