Five days in Italy, even for a pilgrimage, you can't refuse it, especially if they take care of your children and leave you to miss their cousin's wedding in New York (how?).
After a high stress but finally very relative because leaving your children at home limits the number of suitcases and thanks to the low-cost carrier, ours were made very quickly! Spare pants, 5 t-shirts, a jacket to be chic, underwear, pyjamas, a pair of sneakers and samples gleaned from the pharmacy.
Two days in Rome, two days in Loreto on the Adriatic coast and spend the rest in the bus or plane, but a mass with a view of the sea and even a ray of sunshine, it remains engraved in the memories.
