Family Reunion in Lucca, summer of 2012

Hello all... We are thinking about getting together in Tuscany for a family reunion for the summer of 2012.

The idea is to spend time together and visit some sites of interest that relate to our genealogical ties to Granaiola, Lucca, the Nannetti and Puccini families, etc.

Other activities might be to share some great meals, enjoy life, learn more, see new things, and hopefully, hopefully, meet some new relatives even though they might be somewhat distant.

If we are lucky we will do all these things, take some great pictures and figure out exactly who our great/great/great/grand/whatever grandmother, Cleonice Puccini was, who her parents where, what her ties to the composer are, and why in the world didn't she keep a nice journal for all of us!

We hope to see you there. I understand that some of us (not me) already have tickets for the week of Aug. 17 to 24 of 2012.
 
The Hotels that sound good from those who have made reservations are 1: The Park Hotel Regina or 2: A sister hotel, Albergo Ristorante Corona. The Park Hotel has a swimming pool that guests at the other hotel can use. The Corona has a restaurant that sounds really good. Both have free parking. They are about a 10 minute walk from each other so a combination of hotels could work for our group.

To make reservations see the TripAdvisor links for Park Hotel Regina or the sister hotel Albergo Ristorante Corona)

Please let me know if you are going to keep everyone informed of this fun trip!
