Donna – definitely, take your Cowgirl Boots. Everywhere I went people came up to compliment me on them – and not just the women. Cowgirls Rule – even in Italy!
Corinne – yes! it’s the only way to travel! And you are so right about hanging laundry as being an art form in Italy. We washed our clothes & the bathtub & set it out on a patio or hung it from railings. Works great if you bring the right clothes so they dry easily.
Hey, Brother! I think Whit would’ve loved to grab a Vespa & take off. Alas, he did not, as we were trying to respect John’s “save money” wish – he did, after all, pay for the trip – and as I’m sure you know it is no longer as affordable to visit anywhere in Europe like it was back when we were young, foolish, and carefree.
We did talk about you the whole time we were in Rome though – trying to picture you driving around and around in that circle in downtown Rome. Must’ve been a blast.
Whit was taken with the boat rides, though & when we were in Capri, he & John rode the chairlift and said it was da Bomb. LOL Meanwhile, I stayed on Capri and took photos of all the interesting people & places.
I wish I could go back again sometime, if I live that long.

Well Sissy, proud of your savvy travel techniques. I still want to know if Whitt (Ross) and John rented Vespas and rode Rome the way I did back in 1972? I still remember the rental shop was on Via Torino Avenue. You must post a bunch of pics. Love Brother.
Deb, we also did 1 carry one each for the sane reasons you did, plus we had my 80 year old mom ( who totally pulled her own weight and luggage!) Anyway it was the best thing we did cause no worries about lost luggage and no waiting to pick up luggage. Easy on and off. We dud end up washing out stuff in the sink and hanging it over the ralilings, but what the heck, that’s the Italian way. They love to hang out laundry; it’s practically an art form. Can’t wait to read the rest of your posts!

That bag looks really small! I thought I was good at traveling light. My next trip I will be consulting your what I used list. And I love your choice of cowgirl boots for the trip. Can’t leave home without a pair of boots, even if you will be nowhere near a horse.
