Renee, do you have any suggestions for us to see while we are there. We will be in Venice, Rome and Florence. Wouldn't of that of been great if we could of met for lunch in Venice . . .now what a blogging moment that would of been :-)

Cindy - I remember that! Alexia said it was so much fun!

We've never been to Florence.

We did go to Rome back in 2002 and my son w/dh went in February for his Confirmation retreat. They had priest "connections" so they got into places you can't normally see. Being Catholic we always go for an audience with the Pope but I imagine that wouldn't appeal to non-Catholics. You have to go to the Sistene (I can't spell at the moment and I'm being too lazy to check a dictionary to be sure that is correct)Chapel. Avoid touristy restaurants if you can - those are the ones that will lure you in from the streets with waiters holding English language menus. Definitely check out a guide book from the library or even invest in buying one to be sure you have a plan. WIthout a plan you'll either miss things or waste time running around in the wrong directions.

We are staying on the mainland and going into Venice. DD wants to go to the Doge Palace, we've been to St Mark's before but we'll probably go again. We have not done the gondola ride becuase it's rather pricey for 7 of us. WE are hoping to see lace and glass making this trip.
If we were really talented with photography, we'd take a pic at the same location and then merge them to look like we did meet :)

Renee - that is one thing we read about the restaurants . . to stay away from the touristy ones.

Also, I think that would be a hoot if we could pull off that picture LOL

Emily - you have such exotic vacations. It's fun to see what you are up too. Cool videos of the dolphins!

Can you tell if it ate up any storage space?

Emily said...

De'Etta - I don't see anything that says it's eating up any space . .. I am thinking it might be unlimited. Let me know if you find out for sure!
