Evan and I took a quick 48 (maybe less than 48 hr flight) hour trip to Venice from London. It goes down as the easiest trip we have done. For one, we had no flight delays (finally our travel karma has kicked in) & the flight is less than two hours. Not to mention, as soon as you fly into Venice, there is a water taxi that takes you from the terminal to the hotel. I know people had said this but i did not realize the extent of what it meant. These boats for one are gorgeous they are the wooden boots that you can rent in Lake Como- so stunning. The trip started immediately, we landed in the evening, so the views driving in on the boat were unreal. I could not stop taking pictures. We got to our hotel, Hotel Flora, which has the cutest bar of all time, got a glass of wine & then got ready for the evening. 

Our first stop was Gritti Palace, this stunning 5 star hotel was recommended to us for drinks as it's an “institution.” There was a piano player singing Elton John and Adele, incredible Italian bar snacks (my fav: hazelnuts, chips and olives) and amazing cocktails. We were going to take a public water boat to dinner that evening at Antiche Campania but because there was a strike, we took a private boat!
