My Taste of Italy Adventure
“We came to Rome because we’d always regret it if we didn’t, because every timidity eventually turns into regret.” Anthony Doerr, Four Seasons in Rome All roads lead to Rome Travel is about experience and personal experience is hard to share. Experiences, I have found, are not transferable. Still, the traveler seeks to share his or hers anyway. My adventure started and ended in Rome, only it’s not fair to say I actually saw Rome the first time through simply because I had to go through Rome in order to arrive at my initial destination. But I wound up back in Rome before flying home.

Packing for a 19-day Trip to Italy
Luggage: Pack only what you can lug. The best decision I made for this trip: Travelpro luggage. The thought “Worth its weight in gold” kept coming to mind. Both pieces are carry-ons and while the smaller of the two does not fit under the aisle seat, it does fit under window seats. A friendly and helpful flight attendant (sometimes an oxymoron) led me to a Business Class overhead bin for storage during the flight to London. Researching, reading and comparing reviews led me to purchase new luggage even though I have used sturdy 2-wheeled bags in the past. The older luggage is heavy even before packing. Ahhh! The right suitcase…
