Perhaps the only thing I enjoy more than shopping is traveling. And I have the best time when I do both simultaneously. So I perked up immediately when an email from Deborah Mayer, aka the Shopping Sherpa, arrived in my inbox.
The president of Shop Around Tours, is offering Hot Mama Daily readers $100 off a “Shop Around Italy” tour of Milan, Florence, and Rome from November 7-14 ($1795 – $2395). I had a grand time on a press trip to Tuscany last spring where I stayed in a rustic Tuscan villa, so I highly recommend Italy as a shopping destination.

Here are Deborah’s top 10 reasons to travel to Italy with Shop Around Tours (heck, I wanna go):
10. A chance run-in with that hot guy from “Under the Tuscan Sun.”
9. Gorging on 30 flavors of gelato. Shop Around Tours rule: Anything you eat in Italy doesn’t count.

8. Catching a glimpse of the Pope in his red Prada shoes.
7. Taking a photo with the cheesy gladiators at the Coliseum.
6. Getting up close and personal with the David’s privates!
5. Discovering that real Italian food isn’t about “endless salad and breadsticks.”
4. Wine, lots and lots of wine. Need we say more?
3. Shopping overseas is the ultimate in stealth shopping.
2. Following me to fabulous fashion finds at the designer outlets.
