Arrivederci Venezia...This was the trip to Europe where I broke all my rules, rigid travel rules, and the result, was a most fantastic vacation:
**multiple days of sleeping in without alarms
**leaving museums unseen and being OK with that
**spending hours in cafes
**going to the beach (and having a cabana!)
Italy was the best - wish I had more time. One week, and we did a lot but I would love to visit Rome and Sicily (and Naples...to see my family's home).
But for what I saw...and lived...six days was plenty. And then can I go back? My backpack is even lighter than when I left...a first!
