Tuscan hospitality, lifestyle, flavors, and scenery came together for us at the Tuscany villa La Fattoria near Lucca.
The Fresh Essence of Tuscany at La Fattoria
A Touch of Tuscany
A week in northern Tuscany is not nearly enough time to gain anything but a preliminary knowledge of the region, even if just focusing on its northern part. However, it’s enough to feel the pull it has on the hearts of visitors and understand why residents are so proud of their home. It was also enough time for us to experience some wonderful activities that we can recommend for your future visits.
Mother’s Day: Traveling with Mom
For the past few years, I’ve really looked forward to publishing my special TWS Mother’s Day edition. I’m always impressed with the variety of contributions and the perspectives that the writers chose. Each amusing, poignant, or insightful memory is special and touching in the sentiment it represents. I hope that you’ll love these stories and photos as much as I do.

Our French Connection: XCOM Global Mobile Hotspot
Before heading off to France in December, Mr. TWS and I considered the options for staying connected while we were away. More than needing phone coverage, we’d need plenty of internet access for browsing the web and posting to social media. We decided to try the XCOM Global Mobile Wi-Fi Hotspot for the 10 days we’d be in Paris and Provence.
