Yesterday morning I spent some time hashing out (or trying to...) some details for the "Rome" portion of our upcoming trip. We'll only be in Rome for a few days, which makes it a bit more important, in my opinion, to do at least some advance planning. only bought a pocket guide this time- shorter… Continue reading Trip planning/ advance tickets
Okay, I'm suuuuper tired right now because I am just getting over a cold AND I managed to wake up at like, 2:30 a.m. (after not going to bed until ~11:00 p.m....) and never fell back to sleep. 😩😩 (Why?
