The Planned Route

The Planned Route
This is as close to "final" as the planned route is likely to get... I don't intend to do any more updates to it. If it changes, I'll mention it in future posts. All but a few of the green lines represent flight segments. Looks like we have a lot of reading in store...

When in Rome...




June 7

We spent today touring Rome. Through our travel agent, we made arrangements to have a private guide for the day, and we could not have been more pleased with the way it all turned out. Here's a really short list of some of the sights we took in:


Sistine Chapel


Piazza Cavalieri di Malta
Looking through a keyhole at three countries... Malta, Italy and the Vatican

The Colosseum


The Forum


Shasha and the guys

Shasha was our guide and she, along with our driver, Roberto, did a bang-up job of showing us around. She is a dual-national (Italy/US) and has a thorough knowledge base of Rome and all it has to offer. If you ever find yourself traveling to Rome, I can heartily recommend hiring her. Her contact information is available on request.

Here's another local site that we found while we were out walking around:



Trevi Fountain

A little note...

Early last week we found that we were having a hard time keeping track of the date and of which day of the week it was. That's why I started using day numbers in these posts. Now I'm beginning to have a hard time keeping up with which number day it is, so I'm switching to using the date. Even though the date is automatically added when I publish a post (most of this particular post has the same date as the stuff I added) I won't always get around to adding things on the same date that they are done. We'll see how long THAT lasts.
