hi marilyn! we are going to be on a globus tour. air italia. leaving in the 10 am timeframe. i dont have the paperwork in front of me. <BR> <BR>can someone recommed a nice place around the spanish steps perhaps where we can meet for a drink or wine or whatever?

marilyn: we leave alitalia flt 611 1940 arrive rome 955. <BR> <BR>is this the same flight your on

ro, <BR> <BR>Perhaps on the 19th in Rome we'll have overlap. We'd both previously inquired into Rex's trip fall trip (to the extent of meeting up, not going on);, there is supposed to be a good wine bar by the Spanish Steps. I'm sure I wrote it down in my notes at home. I'll check it out at get back.

Hi, Ro, <BR> <BR>If you don't mind me making a suggestion. You might want to post a new message stating a fodorite meeting for Italy in September. The old post does not state it. Thanks, and I hope it happens, sounds like fun.

Hi Ro, no I am on a Continetal Airlines overnight arriving in Rome 7:45 am on the 8th of September.

dj: i'm only suggesting the spanish steps because i think everyone (including me) can find their way there. any other suggestions would be appreciated.

Wherever everyone wants to go is fine with me. Just let me know.

Sorry it took me awhile to get back but here is that wine bar by the Spanish Steps that I mentioned: <BR> <BR>Enoteca Fratelli Roffi Isabelli <BR>Via Della Croce 76B <BR>Open Resaurant Daily 12:30-3:30pm &7:30-11pm; bar daily 11:30-1am <BR> <BR>I found this as a recommended wine bar in the Frommers 2001 Rome book, here are some excerpts from Frommer's write-up:"One of the best places to tast the wines of Italy...set behind a discreet facade in a chic shoppig district, this is the city's best repository for Italian wines, brandies and grappa. You can opt for a postage-stamp-sized table in the back or stay at the bar..". <BR> <BR>Another wine bar noted, near Campo de' Fiori, Il Goccetto specializes in French & Italian wines by the glass with prices that range from 5,000 lire to 18,000 lire. Platters of food are available (i.e., italian cheeses and meats, salami & pates & some salads). <BR> <BR>Just ideas for the wine lovers out there that may want to may this happen in Italy at a Wine bar. If it happens in Rome this September between the 15th - 19th, please count me & the hubby in. (let's not count my typo's please).

I'll be arriving there in Rome on the 19th, so if people are meeting at the wine bar, please confirm. <BR> <BR>Amy

ro-- <BR> <BR>just another thing to look forward to....this whole Italy trip....I'm so excited!!!'til the 19th.

Hi, Ro <BR> <BR>The 19th in R ome works for us. Just let us know what time. Happy Hour!! <BR> <BR>

okay! here goes. september 19th at enotica fratelli raffi isabelli <BR>via della croce 76b <BR> <BR>3:30. will have my fodors pin on and i'm thinking of a silly purple and pink hat that i own. <BR> <BR>dj and diane are you on your own or with a tour? if you'd like, e-mail me and in case we cant meet, perhaps we can leave a message at the front desk of the hotel we are staying at and meet up later in the day or another day. <BR> <BR>sounds great to me. i'm getting so excited. i have 10 days to go.

Ro, <BR> <BR>No, we are not on a tour, but 3:30 might be a little early for us. Would love to meet everyone though..

3:30 might be a little early for us as well. But I just invited myself, so don't base your plans around us. It will be nice to talk to some fellow Americans as the languague will be difficult for me. <BR>We get into Rome that day at 12:00 and then plan on drooping off our things at the hotel and going to the Colluseum..after that in seach of the purple and pink hat!

whatever is good for everyone. i'm open for suggestions.

on sept 19th i will be traveling from sorrento to rome. and in the evening (i dont know the time) should be having dinner with other traveling companions in the tour group. <BR> <BR>on sept. 20 i will be moving from villa pamphili to cicerone. and can meet any time during the day. <BR> <BR>my purple and pink hoover dam hat is washed and ready to go. of course, i'll have on my fodor's pin. <BR> <BR>so let me know what time is good for all.

Hello! Ok-after all the postings, it sounds like everyone is meeting on Sept 19th at enotica fratelli raffi isabelli. Anyone still thinking about meeting in Rome on Sept 8th? I'll be in Rome Sept 7th - 12th and would love to put a face to the postings! b
