Yesterday we visited Becky Donaldson of The Travel Connection in Aurora for our final details for our trip. Amazing...our hole life for a month in one fat envelope. We'll have to guard it with our lives. She answered all the questions we could think of and explained what charges were still to be paid once we arrived. Some of the taxes need to be paid in Italy and cannot be prepaid. One of the tours we wanted was better selected on site because of frequent cancellations ( the tours don't always fill up).
One question we have is about cell phones. Our phones definitely will not work in Italy. She suggested www.callineurope.com. We will try calling them Monday.
Our trip starts Tuesday, May 1 out of Cleveland to Newark. Then a four hour layover and then an eight hour flight to Rome arriving at around 7am Rome time (1am our time). I hope we can get a little sleep on the plane. We get picked up at the airport and delivered to our apartment and then the fun begins!
