The St. Regis - Florence

After looking all over the net for a hotel I have decided that for the first two nights I will stay at the St. Regis. It is right next to the river and close to lots of places that I want to see.

Premium Deluxe, 2 nights - Renaissance Style $1458.24
  This rate includes breakfast. Excellent. 

Florence, Italy

  I have chosen to go to Florence this week. I am excited to find out all about this beautiful city in Tuscany. It sits next to the Arno river and is considered to be the birth place of the Italian Renaissance.

   If I fly coach tomorrow from San Francisco the cost is $1915.85. It would be cheaper if I bought the tickets in advance. If I bought tickets for next month I would only have to pay $1194.94.

COST  - Economy $1194.94          First Class $6382.59 

  Since everything is free I think I will go first class tomorrow morning and take a leisurely evening to pack my bags.

FINAL COST --- First Class $8056.89

  Looks like I will have a layover in Zurich, Switzerland. Awesome!
    I am right within budget! Now to find a place to stay.

It Starts

    I have finally decided to travel!
   I have always wanted to, but never had enough time or money to go where I would like and spend what I would want.  I have come up with a fun idea to do all the traveling that I want without having to pay for any of it. I will travel from home with a new idea... Faux Travel. I will go around the world to as many places that  I want without leaving my computer. I can spend, spend, spend without it costing me a dime!
   I will stay a day, a week or any amount of time that I choose Faux Traveling through any city or place of my choice. I will learn all about it and study everything that I would be doing if I were actually there. I can see everything I want to see,  and I will not have to wait in line behind other tourists.
   Now I just have to decide where to go first...
