We were flying out of Milan which is less than an hour from Lake Como. We had a very early flight so I booked rooms at the Holiday Inn at the airport for the night before. What that did was give us almost a full day in Lecco, a short drive to the airport to drop off the cars and a relaxing evening before getting up early the next day for our flight. All went as planned and we had a van take us to the airport for our flight.

We flew Brussels Airlines and Air Canada with stops in Brussels and Toronto. One thing I didn't expect was we cleared US immigration in Toronto so when we landed in San Francisco we were treated like a domestic flight and we were out of the airport in no time. I use off airport parking, Skypark, and by luck the shuttle was waiting for us at the curb as we left the terminal. It turned out to be the fastest I have been on the road from an international flight.

This was a great vacation of visiting family, seeing sites and tasting wine. Since it was my brothers first time to Italy it couldn't have gone better.

Here are random pictures from our trip.
