I just returned from another trip to Italy. This time I went by myself, as it is getting impossible to find friends who can get the time off or that I can tolerate on a trip. I'll fill in the details over the next few days, but suffice it say the trip was good fun.
Italy is overhyped as a tourist destination for Americans. Whether it's people who read some book about the Tuscan sun, have some Italian blood, or simply want to see the history of western civilization, Italy gets inundated by scores of crazed Americans every year. This trip was all about avoiding those people.
My plan: pack light and hit spots I'd never been to before. Since I'd been to Milan, Rome, Florence, Tuscany, Venice, Sicily, Capri and Amalfi, that wasn't going to be easy. I booked a roundtrip ticket to Rome, packed up a bag, and off I went.
The good news is that I'm writing this post-trip, so you know I survived my loosely planned journey. The bad news? Well there really isn't any to report here. But some funny stories that some might consider bad. Check back and I'll share them with you.
Ciao.
