After landing in Vienna and spending a great week together my parents and I headed to Italy via a quick stop in Bratislava.   In Rome we managed to see all the major sites including: Colosseum, Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, Pantheon, Roman Forum, Palatine, Vatican City. We saw t…

My principal destination was Italy and I decided not to go reinventing the wheel but stick to the standard itinerary of Rome-Florence-Venice. I can say I never regretted the choice! Beautiful places, each special in its own way.. No pictures or descriptions can explain why I fell in love wit…

The first weekday since arriving in Rome. As soon as we woke up we walked through the Vatican to John Cabot University to visit my future school. We got there just as classes were beginning, we asked the secretary about a tour of the school and she sent someone down from the offices. A woman…

Where do you like to go? Spain, Belgium, Berlin, Prague, Rome, Paris? That was the question the teachers gave us in the 4th class of the high school. No doubt: Rome! It has been always a big dream to go to Rome. The old buildings, the best Ice-cream of the world, learn some Italian words and mu…

First city we visited in Italy was the capital - Rome.. Modern and old, past and present go side by side, all the time. Whether you are in Rome for 3 days, 3 weeks or 3 months, be prepared to step into the world’s biggest open air museum. You can decide to follow the typical tourist paths or yo…

ALL my travel blogs are a work in progress...excuse the mayhem. I'll figure it all someday:) Rome was spectacular to see and experience. Wish I'd had more time to explore, albeit still grateful for the chance to go!

Well we had to get up pretty early so we could leave the hotel by 7:20am. Today we were headed to the Vatican Museum to see the Sistine Chaple.  First a word of warning. Do not try to get into the Vatican Museum with out some sort of a guide/tour. You could be waiting all day and still never…

Rome is a place where once is never enough.i made two trips to the Vatican city and still didnt get enough, went three times pass the Trevi Fountain still it was  magnificant, and with so many sights to explore, my four days in Rome was  far too short. every buliding, ruin and landscape i…

Since our flight back to NYC wasn't until 2:00p, my aunt and I were able to enjoy our final breakfast in Rome. Other than another couple, the rest of our tour mates were already at the airport for earlier flights.

I arrived here yesterday and I am enjoying every minute of it. The plane ride from Germany was quick, 1.5 hours. The weather here by far has been the warmest since I have been in Europe, four months ago. I spent much of my time touring Rome. I went to Coloseum, Panteon, Trevi Fountain, Vatican City…

My 1st Wedding anniversary spent in 'The Eternal City' of Rome

We started hitting our way going to Rome at almost midnight; a schedule we chose for practicality and convenience reasons. As soon as we located our private cabin in the train and after putting away our luggage overhead, my eye lids surrendered to the heaviness of it. Within seven hours of travel f…

I am no longer being crabby and have started talking to people once again.  Which is great because I met these two Filipino girls last night eating dinner at the table next to mine.  And they were from LA and we were walking around the piazza afterwards and saw all these groups of Filipin…

From Roman Forum moved onto The Pantheon, which is arguably the best preserved ancient building in Rome, coz of its constant use thru the ages. Standing in front of this structure I felt both intimidated and overhwelmed. Due to the size, structure, symmetry and the fact that something made 2000 yrs…
