Are you kidding? You just got me interested in this trip! If I get there & back in one piece, and my camera doesn't get ripped off, I'll try to post a few pictures. Well, arrivederci, mi amigos!

Ha! You old wolf Allen. Seriously, I was alluding to a dirty-old-man travel blog I've run across a few times. I'm sure you're there more for the Italian culture, than the pop-out culture of that site. Italy is loads of fun and I have a wealth of great memories and pictures of my visit. I even enjoyed it when a petty crook tried to sell me a supposedly gold pocket watch that was filled with sand. If only I had been more of a rube and bought it, I'd have a great momento. Good travels friend.

Well, the Eagle has Landed! Got in an hour early due to tail winds all night. Gorgeous sunset and sunrise from plane. Hot as all get out here and humid, and the AC is pretty iffy. Despite 8-hour flight and time zone shifts/jet lag, I'm ready to take on the town. BUT (heh, heh, heh), SWMBO is totally tapped out!
Thanks to all for the good wishes, and to RR for the helpful hints. The drivers are nuts. The cabbie from the airport must have been doing 125 kmph and texting the whole time!
