All good things come to an end and our weekend in Rome is nearly over. We have to be at the airport around noon.  We got up, had a quick breakfast, packed quickly and then headed to a shop to try to find a pair of soccer shoes for my son... He really had his heart set on buying some in Italy.&…

I have been in the travel industry for 10 years and have only been a few places in the world. Mostly the countries attached to the US. On a whim a friend asked me to go with them to Rome. I said without hesitation, yes. I live in Hawaii, so getting to Rome was not going to be a quick task, and give…

I finally completed my work in Rome and boarded a plane headed for Washington D.C. on Feb 28. I enjoyed my trip to Rome, but after 4 straight weeks full of work and sight-seeing, I am definitely looking forward to Home. Here are some final random shots of the city of Rome. 

I don't know what to say...Every time I'm here, I fall in love with Italy more & more! Rome at night is spectacular. We did a tour of the Coliseum & the Forum. I truly enjoy the history of Rome as well as the architecture. The weather was beautiful (hot) and we drank plenty of water :)This was my 1…

We arrived back in Rome just in time to grab an early dinner and head to the Circus Maximus to watch the soccer match. Tens of thousands of people had crowded into the ancient track to watch the game unfold upon three big screens. When Italy scored, hundreds of Italian flags went up throughout …

We were five "ladies" on our first trip to Rome. The sun was shining, the pasta was great and I had 4 good friends to share all my new experiences with. What more could you ask for...?

After 10 years twiddling my thumbs in Birmingham I'm now 14 months into a grand journey around this wonderful & widest of worlds! I've been all over (well a small slice of the planet anyway) with occasionally little rhyme or reason but have finally washed up in the country longed for by my dreams... INDIA! Please join me and give further purpose to my steps by smiling any time at my words, thoughts and pics; it really means a lot to this happy though oft-lonely traveller ;D

The plan for today was: wake up late the visit San Pierto and go to Napoli.The reality today was: i woke late, then went to the Termini (main station) bought ticket at the ticket vending machine and checkt the schedule...from this moment i was ready for all, cuz i didn't know what would happen and …

Lack of Euro football meant that since last summer I'd only been away once, to Zakynthos in October, and I was starting to climb the walls. Sat one Friday and decided I needed to get away and looked at the options and decided on Rome. Only for 3 days but it would do. Was sitting booking it up and …

This year marks the second time in my life I was overseas during the Fourth, the first being my last night in Amsterdam before heading home from my first time in Europe.  I drank a lot and checked out the Red Light District with some Canadians.  Way to celebrate. Today I decided to wande…

We read in our travel guide that it could be very busy in Vatican City when you want to visit St. Peter. We decided to visit this church in the morning and we were just on time. Five minutes after we entered the row in front of the church the row became bigger and bigger. We were so happy that mome…

One of the most beautiful town in the world, with his monuments and his history. A must for everyone.

Rome is amazing because you're in the middle of a big, busy city...but then you round a corner and see something ancient and incredible. A word to the wise: just be careful with the crime, especially when going out at night. And the traffic is pretty crazy!

Rome was the city we had the least amount of time for on the trip; that  means that although we had only arrived at nearly noon the day before, we only had until 5:00 pm today before we had to be at the station to catch our train up to Parma.  The original plan had been to go see the Va…

After a spontaneous idea of a friend at work we got over the weekend to Rome.
