Jacki (@trips.and.dips_) is back on Trip Tales! After first joining us to share about her girls’ trip to Puerto Rico, she’s returning to take us along on a very special 10-day trip through Italy to celebrate her mom’s 70th birthday.

In May 2026, Jacki and her mom kicked things off in Venice before making their way to Rome, where Jacki’s brother joined the fun, and then finished along the gorgeous Italian coast with Sorrento as their home base. We’re talking gondola rides, food tours, iconic Roman sights, Aperol Spritzes, boat days to Capri and along the Amalfi Coast, incredible meals, and beautiful hotels!
