Acknowledging that the circumstances were bittersweet, knowing that she wouldn’t be on a set this past summer due to the ongoing actors’ strike, her family took the opportunity to book and actually go on vacation to Italy in August. (Unlike the time they had to cancel a whole planned trip to Japan.)
And yes, as evidenced by the photos Gellar shared of their travels through Florence, Tuscany and Positano, it was friggin’ amazing.
Though that’s not to be confused with wildly relaxing because, as Gellar said, “if you don’t plan it out, you’re not getting a table at dinner and you’re not getting into a museum.”
To truly let go, she noted, her family goes to Hawaii whenever possible, “because that’s the place where, we always say, the mana of the island just gets us. We can enjoy and relax and not have to plan, and really just feel the spirit.”
And so long as the spirit is on their side, consider Gellar at home.
