I guess that Rome will never be the Same!!:)
I will join you in spirit.I am a blonde also, but I am going back in June..
I am going to toast you with a glass of good Chianti :Alla Salute!!

Budman, if you bleach your cropped hair it will make you Eminem, hope this helps O:)

Now you are REALLY making me want to join you. \:D/

You are going to have so much fun and I'm happy for you all. I also wish I was able alter my plans already made for Rome in Feb. and to join you, but that's just not possible.

We could have had apartments located all over the center, a differant one every night to celebrate in. Happy planning.

Ha, ecat - there is always next trip??!!This is very exciting for me, not only the prospect of "entertaining" in our apt. in Roma, but also meeting up with my good buddy Seaurchin and hopefully other wild and crazy, fun loving Fodorites. It doesn't get much better than this. Well....

Barb yes next time, and of course me being a brunette I'll help balance the mix of blonde beauties.

Ciao ciao, Eileen

Wow! That town's sure gonna be rockin'!! Y'all are going to shake up the Fodorite image something awful! Don't get us banned forever, OK?

What am I saying?? It's Roma, right? Go for it!

Note: when writing subsequent trip report, use double entendres and euphemisms if necessary, but leave no detail undisclosed! Envious minds want to know.

My husband and I and 2 daughters (17 & 14) are arriving for our first visit to Rome on the morning of the 19th!My girls are old enough to fend for themselves at the hotel, so do let us know about your party plans. What fun.

I WILL BE THERE !!!! Let us know the address/time of this MAJOR EVENT. Mike

Huitres, if you're going to be in Rome after THE EVENT but before the 29th, let me know. We can try to have some people meet at ORSO 80 for a great meal ect.. Mike

I'll keep you posted about dates, time and address - I want to go to Orso 80 too!! It's on my list!! BTW - I will be there from 16th to 25th - Seaurchin has to leave leave on 21st - boo hoo.

Oh my! Shall I have my SIL warn all those Romeo's in bella Roma to "run for their lives"? LOL. ;;)

I have the feeling, although cara Roma has been invaded by many beauties before that they may not be ready for all of you! Do take many photos! These and a true, notice I said true as in "the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth" report will be the Fodors thread of the decade I believe.

Do have fun, as though you wouldn't? ::)

Barb, look forward to seeing you and everyone on the 19th and going to Orso 80 together. My email address is:[email protected]. I'll be looking for details of THE get together. Mike

LoveItaly - no, no, we need all the help we can get - don't warn them, ha Well, maybe he can tell them to rest up,lol. I always tell the truth, so I'm not sure if the Fodor police will let us print our reports!!

BTW, Sea Urchin & Barb, a good LOCAL restaurant in Trastevere is Mario's. I believe it's on Via Del Moro very near to Santa Maria Church. I had lunch there last year and really enjoyed it. Mike

I don't think I can make the gathering on the 19th as my Italy dates are March 23-April 14. I suppose I can try coercing my stodgy fiance to accompany me south to Roma for a fete post-March 19 - I suspect he would be the only Italian in the group - and he doesn't speak English! Anyway, I will tentatively plan on it, but can't say for sure until closer to the date.

Huitres I am sorry I'll miss you but Barb will still be there, I hope you can get together.

(barb)MIke, thanks for the restaurant tip, I'll make sure I go there.

If anyone else will be in Rome on the 19th let us know, we'll have the party in my apt. Help us have some fun for the trip report!

You want details?.......ok

Hey, ecat,maybe we can have a February party! As you know, this blonde will be in Trastevere for the month, anyone else??

ttt

Well I haven't been 'wild and crazy' in 20 yrs and I'm not blonde.
But is there room for a big, ugly truckdriver-type with a long grey ponytail :) ?
I'm in Rome from March 6-20.
There's a Mcdonalds near my hotel so I could bring the burgers and fries :).
