The day has finally arrived – Justin and I will be boarding a plane and flying to Italy!!! It is our first time visiting Italy so we are making the most of it, spending a glorious three weeks in Italy. Our itinerary is filled with awesome plans and we thought we’d let you in on some of them ahead of time. We won’t be blogging at all while we’re overseas. I know, that’s a long time to be away from the blog – the longest I’ve stepped away from it since the beginnings of Justin Plus Lauren. However, you’ll get to read all about our adventures when we return. Plus, we’ll be posting lots of updates mostly in the form of photos on our social media accounts. Be sure to follow us on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, Google+ and Youtube!
If you happen to be traveling through Italy while we’re there, be sure to send us a message on any of our social media networks or by our contact form and it would be great to meet up! Here are our travel plans while we’re there:
