I’m headed off to Italy for a couple weeks!
I’m traveling with some good friends, and am looking forward to seeing various part of that wonderful country. Art, culture, music. . . and, let’s face, it the great food and wine doesn’t hurt either.
You’ll still have lots of posts here at Flyaway Cafe, some I’ve done before leaving, some I’ll do on the road, and I’ll also have some guest posts from some of my travel blogging friends. There will be lots to keep you entertained, so just because I’m gone, doesn’t mean you should be too!
To celebrate my first stop in Italy, here’s a video clip from the movie Roman Holiday, starring Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn.
I won’t be driving in Rome, not even on a Vespa, but do hope to take in some of the sights seen in the video.
What are your favorite things to do or see in Rome? Any must-see attractions? What’s under and over rated? Leave some ideas in the comments and help me narrow down all the things that I’d like to do.

Well, have a good time you lucky girl. Take lots of cool pictures to post – especially you should take cool house pictures
Among so many things, one of my favs was climbing to the top of St. Peters and having a stunning panoramic view of Rome. I hear wait times in summer are bad but this time of year should be ok. I did it in winter.
Thanks Jennifer & Alex —
I’m situated it Rome, after an all night flight, and trying to eke the most from my first day here.
Had a nice meal, and am now heading for some shut eye. Tomorrow, it’s over to St. Peter’s. Since Easter was last week, I’m hoping the crowds will have thinned out.
