All of our flights were on time and we arrived in Venice ready to rock.  As we were in line to get the rental car, we met a guy from England who offered to program our GPS for us. We wish we  had taken his photo because we have MANY times looked at each other and thanked him. We probably would still be looking for our final destination if we didn't have the GPS. The drive down was FABULOUS.  We took the autostrade A1 from Venice to Florence and on to our destination. In the travel book it mentioned they don't want you to travel slow.  Yahoooo, Helen was in heaven. 130 km and she felt like Danica Patrick!  The scenery was great, rolling hills, tunnels, bridges we ohhed and ahhed all the way.  And we didn't get lost!  We were a little worried about paying the toll, but it was a snap!
After a long day of travel we arrived here at Ventena Vecchia late afternoon. Here we are at the gate.
