Good afternoon all,

Wife and I went out to dinner Friday night for Valentines Day and we had the chance to really discuss what we want to do next year for our anniversary.

We talked about different things we wanted and if there was anything we wanted to do differently than just lounge all day at a beach resort.

So, what we came up with is, going to Italy next September for the F1 Monza race!! Woooooooo!

Well, hopefully. Need to wait and see what the 2026 F1 racing calendar looks like first. Only issue with that is, I can only go out until middle of January 2026 to book flights to Milan and I have to book my companion ticket with Delta by 8/31/2025. So I am hoping I will know the F1 schedule by then and the flight schedule is pushed out until end of Sept 2026. Fingers crossed on that one for sure!

I know there is another Italy race earlier on in the season at Emilia-Romagna which is usually in the middle of May. That might be a possibility if the Delta companion ticket becomes a challenge.

It has always been something we truly want to do and have talked about doing something like this for the past 3 - 4 years.

So, if anyone has stayed in Milan, Italy or close to the Monza race track...please give any info you have on places to stay, where to eat and drink, what to do....etc.

Wife said she wants to do it right...which only means...$$$$. lol!

What is everyone's thoughts on the Emilia-Romagna race instead of the Monza race in September?

From doing my research, Bologna, Italy has a lot more to offer than Milan does outside of the race weekend.

We plan on renting a car and venturing out and exploring.
