    The mix of culinary and cultural experiences on our journey through Sorrento in Italy has left unforgettable memories for our family. We savored exquisite local dishes, particularly the fresh seafood and rich pasta, which truly brought the flavors of the region to life. One minor drawback was the hectic pace during our time in Rome, where we sometimes felt rushed, but the breathtaking sights and experiences made it worthwhile.
