Italy Vacation Packages

There is something indescribable about Italy that sucks you in and makes you one of her own. There is the beautiful countryside, of course, with its quaint towns, rolling hills and relaxed way of life. There are the cities, as well, with their hustle and bustle. There is the Riviera with its stunning cliffs that overhang deep blue waters. There are also the mountains. The Alps and the Dolemites redefine the reaches of land.
Some or all of these components of Italy will likely leave you enchanted, but there is something more that will make her part of your being. It is not the food or the fashion or even the crazy driving. It is the Italian way of life. It is part bold and audacious, part traditional and proper, part understandable and part foreign. If you spend enough time in Italy it will seep into your pores and it will leave you wanting to return for more.
You can get a taste of Italy and see if she is part of your soul by taking advantage of one of these reasonably priced vacation packages from Eurofly. There are a few itineraries to choose from and, really, they all look quite lovely.

BUYER BEWARE!
At least in the past few days, they are either having a proportionately large number of mechanical problems with their planes and are routinely delaying flights by a day or more - cause enough to be wary - OR they are boldfaced lying about the reasons the flights are being delayed.
Today is Saturday, June 9th. Over the past few days, they have had a number of flights delayed due to “mechanical failure.”
I was due out on GJ941 to Naples, which was supposed to leave at 10:35pm on 6/8/07. The flight to Rome (which was to leave at 9:45pm, same night) was held in our gate for a VIP passenger for over an hour.
The passenger(s) finally arrived, but the gate manager told us that since they had held the Rome plane, the NAPLES flight had lost their slot for takeoff… but that our plane was there, checked out, and ready to go, if we could get a slot to take off.
Then, magically, a “mechanical problem” appears and we are told our flight will not take off until “sometime around 8pm on 6/9″ but that we should arrive about 3PM to wait and see if it would take off and when. We were also told that there was a possiblity it might not take off TODAY.
All hotels in the vicinity were supposedly booked, so they offered to put people up an hour and a half away… but only after they told us that there were NO hotels, period…that we would have to get our luggage and make other arrangements.
Their customer service line in the US is only open 9-5pm MONDAY-FRIDAY and there is NO ONE to help you in the US outside of those hours.
The poor Eurofly employees seemed just as frustrated as we all were.
There was a mini-riot going on in both Italian AND English.
I have no idea if my flight will actually leave tonight or not, but since I came back into NYC, I will have to pay ANOTHER $60 (added to the $60 I paid to get home last night) to go BACK to the airport and pray that they actually take off… and, if the “mechanical failures” are real - which I doubt - but, if they ARE, pray our plane doesn’t develop ANOTHER one mid-air on the way to Naples and give us a lovely vacation on the island of “Lost.”
Furious.
