Rome…If You Want To, Roam Around the World!
Well, our next big trip is already planned. Since Randy’s company is closing their office for a week in April and a week in May, we decided to take advantage fo the forced time off and do something. I did a bit of research over the weekend and then Randy booked our tickets last night. I couldn’t believe the deal we got on airfare. I’ve flown to Europe before (years ago…pre-economic breakdown) for $1,000 a ticket. This time we got ALL of our flights (Boston to Rome, Rome to Paris, Paris to Boston) for only $575 total! We nearly spent that much going from Boston to Miami a few months ago.
The plan is to go to Rome for 5 nights/6 days, then fly to Paris for 4 nights/5 days. WOO HOO! So if anybody has pointers about things to do, places to see in Rome, holler!
In other good news, Randy returned from his wine tasting trip to California this morning. I had already left for work by the time he arrived, but I suspect he filled the two empty cases he flew out there with with wine.
Drink up!
…and Ciao! (I better brush up on my Italian).

Rome! I wonder if you would have still booked Rome after the earthquake? or if the prices are even cheaper now? Where did you find that deal? expedia? I need a getaway!
I know! We booked the tickets just hours before the earthquake was reported. I’m hoping prices don’t drop that much since we already paid…but our tickets were so cheap I can’t imagine them going any lower.
Though, I wouldn’t mind if hotel prices drop (but I doubt it since Rome just felt minor shakes and had no damage).
Vatican City – yes, the line is long, but at least it moves. Get there early and the wait will only be 1 hr instead of 2. Obscene amts of priceless art, and you can mail your postcards from there and it won’t take forever to arrive back in the states. All the other churches in Rome will pale in comparison to St Peter’s, so if you want to hit them, do it before.
That’s ungodly cheap.
Go to the Pantheon too.
