Greetings! I'm Stacee Hawkins. My husband, Derek, and I have always had a bad case of the travel bug! Our love of hiking and golf have taken us to some of the most beautiful places in the U.S., from the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, to Sedona and Flagstaff in Arizona, to the incredible Northern California coast. And we've had the chance to explore some of the great cities, like NYC and San Francisco.

We've always been great fans of Rick Steves on PBS, so in 2006 we decided to try one of his tours. It would be Derek's 3rd trip to Europe (he'd gone on one of those 21 countries in 10 days whirlwind student trips and once with family), but it would be my first. We picked Venice/Florence/Rome in 10 days. We weren't as good at pacing ourselves back then, so by the time we got to Rome, we were exhausted and it was all sort of a blur, so we threw our coins in Trevi Fountain and promised ourselves we'd come back. After a slight Gallic detour for the Paris in 7 Days and Paris and the Heart of France tours, Trevi kept its promise, and we found ourselves back in Rome.
