Ira...

did you know that you're quoted in the Fodor's 2006 Italy book?

I have several new Fodor's guidebooks, and there are quotes from Fodorites at the beginning of each chapter in each book I have. I always read them first, before I actually start reading the book!

It is a Napoli quote. I'll look it up when I get home.

no, you can't. I have been interviewed as man on the street a few times (even in Paris once at a movie premiere), or for a newspaper article, and been quoted, and that didn't make me a journalist or TV reporter.

It seems there is a whole group of world reknowned travel consultants, not to take anything away from Ira and his Italy expertise.

Actually, it had nothing to do with Italy or Ira.

Communication got cut off in mid-sentence(word) and was supposed to be Iraq or Iran. I don't remember which.
