The first thing to note is that you may not want to fly together in order to get a good deal. you realize that this may not sound attractive until you think about how much money you could save and then have more fun on holiday together. No one ever forgets that first visit to Venice, you certainly don’t. you was running around Italy trying to visit every region, and most of the main cities in them, researching recipes for a book about Italian desserts. Venice never disappoints, but you need to learn to avoid the crowds a little. One final note of caution if you decide to take a taxi, gondola ride, or use an itinerant porter to carry your luggage on his hand truck, always establish the price in advance to avoid unpleasant surprises. The only reasonable way to get to Israel, unless you happen to be living in Jordan, is by plane.
