Hi

Great movies shot in exotic locations around the world whet the appetites of many an audience captured in the moment of insatiable backdrops splashed across a movie screen in a darkened theatre. Eat, Pray and Love starring Julia Roberts is certainly going to infuse a sense of wanderlust amongst most viewers who will be planning their next trip to Italy, India or Bali as they leave the theatre. The following is an article from Jennifer McDermott of Insight Vacations which may offer you just the sort of holiday you may be after having read the book or seen the film or both!

Eat, Love and Pray in Italy with Insight Vacations

Treat yourself to a break from day-to-day humdrum and reach ultimate enlightenment on Insight’s eight-day Italian Intermezzo.
You’ll eat (bottomless bowls of pasta and perfectly crispy pizza); love (spectacular sights, no summertime crowds) and pray (in some of the holiest of churches in the world) as you leisurely make your way around Rome, Venice and Florence.
