... Argentina who is traveling and working, a Louisiana boy that owns a hostel for Tango dancers in Buenos Aires and his girlfriend (they weren&#8217;t with the architect), a software engineer from Australia, and others. But all of them were managing to travel while working so we could all share horror stories and tips for life on the road.<br><br>In the morning, I took the train back to FCO airport to meet Jacqui&#8217;s ...

... add to our airmile account. He did purchase a pair of cycling shorts that he said were a good deal. <br><br>We made it back to the ship early and decided to get a workout in the fitness center. The meals have been fantastic. We've enjoyed our share of main courses! So, trying to maintain the calorie game is a simple strategy, "calories intake" vs "calorie expenditure"! Five course meals vs five course workouts! Cheese ...

Well, it has been a while since I last posted and today is a sea day and the weather is so ****** they have even closed the decks due to rain, wind and fairly rough seas. This is my chance to catch up on what's been happening. The big trouble is that I can&#8217;t remember when I last wrote but I&#8217;m sure I didn&#8217;t write in Tunis so I&#8217;ll pick it up from there.<br><br>What can I say that&#8217;s positive about Tunis. We were going to ...

Hello from the Med. We are finally at sea. We left Rome Thursday morning. Took a train to the coast and boarded around<br>1:30. Finally some rest. We docked in Naples yesterday and went to the Amalfi coast. Fabulous!! I could spend a week <br>here,...easy. Later in the day we went to Pompi and saw the ruins. I am sitting on the 8th deck looking over the side. Deep<br>blue sea..sunny and warm..perfect weather.<br> So now I have time to write, but the ...

... He was not close enough to be in any danger or get wet <br>(so I thought!), and after several minutes of minimal action and weeny <br>waves we were about to give up. Then the big one rolled in. I got a <br>picture of the splash about ten feet above his head - he was totally <br>not expecting to get wet and is unsuspecting the gallons of water about <br>to drench him. I'll have to upload that one after we get home.

We had a long night's sleep and then went down to breakfast. There was a very nice but hideously expensive buffet. Since Boo is such a picky eater, she had the buffet but Mom and I stuck with the continental breakfast. <br><br>At about 10:00, the car that I had arranged to take us to the ship arrived. Much to my surprise, he was even a little early. The driver was very nice. His English was limited (but way better than my Italian) but he talked ...

... City. The meal was good, but pricy...in comparison to our &euro;1 pizza we get at the pizzeria near school. Today was a great day, but it was clearly time for bed. And a note to all of you...if you ever have the opportunity to come to Italy or Europe, make the effort to come here. Whether you are religious or not, the structure itself and emotion this building projects is something you can only experience in person. It will be worth the $1000 plane ticket...who needs money anyway?

... No peek of the Pope for me. I took the bus back to the hotel and luckily was with a few other people at that stage. We had no problems but other people in our group had major issues on the public transport. Pickpocketing is so rampant and nobody got anything stolen but people were doing everything they could to get wallets. It was a good thing we had been well warned. In the morning we said goodbye to Rome, and headed for one more day in Italia!
