18 Days left

Well it's Friday the 19th of March which means 18 days left. I had my surgery today, and feel ready to sit on a plane the required 14hrs. It all went so well. I have purchased a small table top tripod for my JVC cam.That'll help with stabilization issues...ie my shaky hand. Purchased some shorts and shirts for the trip and paid for two walking tours I'll be doing while there. The walking tours are with "Rome Walks" and I bought " Twilight walk across Rome" and the walking tour of the "Jewish Ghetto and Trastevere" neighborhoods. I'm going to stay at Hooters Casino the night before I leave to be close to the airport, but really...Im ready now!! Ciao

25 days left till fly time.

My friends, the time is soon coming when I will be in Rome, and sharing all with you. I have exchanged USD for Euro's and will probably exchange a little more. Will be using "Rome Walks" as a tour guide for an outing ( www.romewalks.com ). I found some interesting pubs and trattoria's in the Trastavere neighborhood of Rome ( www.darpoeta.com ), ( www.cantinaparadiso.it ) ( www.ristorantesabatini.com ).
