Since I last updated you, we&#8217;ve had an exciting development. In addition to a great group of people from throughout the New York-New Jersey region, with a few from more far-flung places, we will also have a priest traveling with us. \u00a0<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>We will arrive in Rome on Oct. 7, 2014, and head straight for Montecatini Terme, a spa town in the Tuscany region. That will be our base for day trips to Florence and Siena. From there we will move to Assisi <a href=\"https:\/\/notstrictlyspiritual.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Panoramic_view_of_Assisi.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-3455 alignright\" style=\"margin: 10px;\" src=\"https:\/\/notstrictlyspiritual.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Panoramic_view_of_Assisi.jpg\" alt=\"Panoramic_view_of_Assisi\" width=\"454\" height=\"303\" \/><\/a>for a wonderful two-day visit in this beautiful and special city that was home to Sts. Francis and Clare. Our Assisi stay will also include a lunch and wine tasting at a local agritourismo. We then head to Rome for three nights in a \u00a0magnificent hotel that is walking distance from St. Peter&#8217;s Basilica but also in the midst of everyday Italian life &#8212; near bustling piazzas and restaurants, churches and historical sites. We get to spend three wonderful nights in Rome with a full schedule of all the important things \u00a0you won&#8217;t want to miss &#8212; papal audience, Vatican museum and Sistine Chapel, a walking tour of the main sites &#8212; as well as lots of free time for exploring on your own. Finally, we head to the south of Italy, where we will be based in Salerno in a \u00a0hotel overlooking the water. The southern portion of our pilgrimage will include visits to Pompeii, Naples, <a href=\"https:\/\/notstrictlyspiritual.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/grand-hotel-salerno.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-3642 alignleft\" style=\"margin: 10px;\" src=\"https:\/\/notstrictlyspiritual.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/grand-hotel-salerno.jpg\" alt=\"grand-hotel-salerno\" width=\"330\" height=\"247\" \/><\/a>the Amalfi Coast, Sorrento, Massa Lubrense (the town where my grandfather was born), and the Isle of Capri. These last few days will also include some spectacular extras, such as a cooking class and olive oil tasting in Giffoni, a Mass and dinner at a monastery, and a boat ride to the mystical Blue Grotto off Capri. \u00a0We will depart from Naples airport on Oct. 19, 2014, full of wonderful food, spiritual sustenance, and a lifetime of memories. As you can tell, I&#8217;m a tiny bit excited about this pilgrimage.\u00a0If you are reading about this trip for the first time today, please click\u00a0HERE\u00a0to see the full itinerary and the all-inclusive details.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve been thinking about this pilgrimage, now is the time to send in your registration.
