Rising Tide Travel

09/13/2026

Today I’m thinking about two men who shaped everything we do in this business; John Battaglino Sr., my father-in-law, who we lost 11 years ago, and Angelo Amorico, who we lost yesterday.
 
They met through work and became true friends bonded by their Italian roots, their faith, and their love of family. That’s the real story of our work, and nobody knew that better than Angelo. Relationships outlast any deal, any itinerary, any trip.
 
Angelo built Access Italy into something truly special, and his sons Simone and Marco are carrying it forward with the same warmth and hospitality he taught them.
 
Sending love to Eva and the entire Amorico family. Finding some comfort in knowing John and Angelo are together again in Heaven.

It's the start of September, which means winter is closer than it feels. This is usually the point where people start thinking about a trip to look forward to, and then put off actually planning it until the cold has already set in.

We'd rather have the conversation now, while there's still time to do it well! That means picking the right destination for you, not just the first one with a good flight deal, and building an itinerary around the way you actually like to travel.

Winter is a lot easier to get through when you already have somewhere to look forward to.

Get in touch today and let's start talking about where you're headed next.
