Europe for Visitors Blog

ABOVE: Maggie the dog at Venice's Carnival.

In the past week or so, we've been distracted by the challenges of moving to Venice, Italy for three months--and when we say "we," we're referring not only to us, but also to our dog Maggie, who's the subject of a new blog titled "Maggie in Venice: A Bearded Collie's Adventures in Italy." (The blog is well worth reading if you've ever thought of traveling abroad with a pet.)

Our other, non-canine Venice blog may be of interest if a Venetian vacation is on your calendar for 2010. You'll find it at VeniceTravelBlog.com, where it serves as a complement to our Venice for Visitors travel-planning site.

We've just launched our Venice Travel Blog at venicetravelblog.com. The blog is a complement to our travel-planning site, Venice for Visitors, and some of its initial topics include:

• Old vaporetti never die, they just rust away
• The most romantic shop in Venice?
• A salute to a civic-minded Venetian

We'll be adding new posts and photos regularly, so if you're a Venetophile, consider bookmarking our Venice Travel Blog (and feel free to post comments).

 

EFVblog.com is the former "Travel & Cruise News" section of Durant and Cheryl Imboden's Europeforvisitors.com, a vacation-planning site that's read by several million travelers from 200+ countries every year.

This blog is mostly dormant these days (we've chosen to focus more heavily on our main Europe for Visitors site), but you're welcome to browse the archived posts.

• Personal plugs: If you're a fan of Venice, Italy, take a look at our Venice Travel Blog--and if you're fond of dogs, our archived "Maggie in Venice" blog may entertain you.
