Then it was off to Rome and I saw the usual - the Vatican, Spanish Steps, Coliseum, Trevi Fountain and Pantheon. My Dad wouldn't have liked it - too much walking. A bonus at the end of my trip, I was bumped to business class! I felt so guilty and almost confessed to the flight attendant that I didn't really belong there. Damn, they go all out and pamper you. No wonder people are willing to pay triple or more for it. Maybe one day.........
I finally visited Europe and my first choice of country was Italy. Of course, food and shopping! And it didn't disappoint. Figures that my Mom went years ago with Nancy. She was a world traveler! I went to Taormina, a small seaside resort in Sicily. Bought a godfather t-shirt for Dad! On the way to the hotel, the driver was recommending restaurants and then burst out saying "Mamma Mia". Cracked me up cos I didn't realize people still use that phrase! A couple of pictures below show the terrace off my room and the view was spectacular!
