A wonderful overseas trip with my friends!

Hi, Guys! I am Agatha. I have recently been on a delightful, wonderful trip to Italy with friends and I would love to share my experience with you all. My parents had promised a special gift if I cleared my high school with good grades. So, when I passed this year with a GPA of 4.0, it was time for them to fulfill their promise. They asked to make my choice. Well, it was my secret desire to visit the country of Italy. Actually, my friend, Carla is an Italian and has a family back in Bari. So, we both and three of our other friends decided to plan a trip there. After some persuasion, our parents agreed. We searched on the internet for stay and transportation arrangements. We made our bookings at the selected hotel. My father made the rental car arrangements through Autonoleggio Bari Aeroporto. Our big day finally arrived. We were very excited when we exited the airport. The representative from our car hire company was there to receive us. The car had a delightful sporty look, just perfect for us girls! And the driver, Enrico was a handsome young man. We were raring to explore the city as soon as we landed. Enrico was good company and he showed us all the places of tourist interest. During the days we were in the city, we tried to visit every nook and corner of the place. Bari is famous for its historical places. The car at our disposal was also very comfortable and nice. Thanks to the efficient services of the car hire company, we had a lovely vacation.
