Wow..... Now I can say.. I've been to Rome and seen it all... OK maybe not all of it. There's absolutely too much to take in all at once..... Woke up early this morning... Caught the train into Rome... Decided it was best to do a hop on hop off first to kind of acquaint ourselves with the area.... Rome is actually very bizarre to me... You're driving along and them BAM... it's the colosseum. Then you're walking along the street and BAM it's a whole other set of ruins!! and then there's the grafitti.... It seems like every where along the train lines... there is grafitti... it's such a shame... OK... I digress... what did I do today... we went to the colosseum and the lines were mega long... so we did the trick that ... read more

Well... I finally decided... the bigger the suitcase the better. At the suggestion of some.... more room for goodies... After a long days journey.. we finally made it into Rome!! Bonjourno (probably wrong way to spell, but hey.. I'm american... what can I say). We trekked it on the train, which really isn't as easy as someone said.... but once we got it all figured out... we made it to our little B&B that we're staying in. It's called Anne's Place... www.byanne.com.... I've only been here little less than an hour, but if anyone ever comes to Rome.... and wants to stay outside of the city (about 35 minutes) I highly recommend this place... The owner is WONDERFUL!! So nice, the place is quaint and very clean... and you know what that means by my standards. ... read more

The issue that I've always had when traveling is what do I pack?? For some reason, this particular trip is driving me nuts.... what do I pack?? What's the weather like? What kind of shoes do I bring?? It was 10 PM at night and I still had no clue. So I had to stop thinking and start throwing stuff into a suitcase.... but this brought up another issue... do I go with my standard 22 in suitcase?? Or do I go with the larger 26 in? The 22 in works except I have no room for my hair stuff or for extra stuff to bring home.... The 26 in works as well... plenty of room for clothes, plenty of room for hair stuff... plenty of room for new stuff.... except it's very big... what should ... read more
