Went to Rome/Florence & Venice for honeymoon in 1998. Doubt we will get back in 2008 as planned due to medical issues

Enjoy

I LOVED Florence. And Venice is now the top attraction in the world tourisim. Just be prepared for the "sticker shock"

I wish you the very best...but Italy in August? It's so hot that most of the shops close down. As the 15th is the Feast of the Assumption, you won't find ANYTHING open except for touristy-shops.

Italy is known for closing down on Marian Feast Days.

Of course, I also favor the European Fanta--icy cold. The American version of it doesn't compare.

The blood orange is going by a different name in Italy. It's somwthing like "Red Passion". I don't care what they call it, it's good.

While I was in Lourdes, I was checking my e-mail at the same internet cafe (one with English keyboards!) on almost a daily basis. The owner, Max, knew of my passion for Fanta and always had a cold one waiting for me when I got there.

Ah, Italy. The only Country I could leave NYC for.
Have fun. I lived there as an exchange student with the Experiment in International Living. The greatest experience of my life.
Have fun.
You must go to Florence, Siena, Pistoia, Venice, Torino.
My favorite place though is Sardenia.
I adore Italy.

And to answer your question DP.
I went back to my Italian Sisters weddding.
I should write to them.
They introduced me to Nutella before we had it in the US.
That is one thing I wish they never did.
And Giandua candy.
