Last day in Italy
I haven't been able to write for the last couple of days, but we have had a great time in Asissi, Sorento, Capri, Positano and our last day in Rome!

We leave for the airport at 7:30 AM Rome time and will be in Mpls tomorrow at 7:30PM central …

Doing the Caesar Shuffle
... of your sites, and most notably an unlimited transit pass for the buses, subway, and trams. I reckon that the Roma Pass saved each of us 25 Euro beyond its cost, not including the skipped ticket lines both at attractions and at metro stations.
