..Sip Limoncello in Sorrento as the sun sets and the people come out for the nightly paseo.<BR>.. Buy Salami, cheese, fruit and local wine and savor each bite as you look out across the sea in Positano.<BR>.. Buy that leather purse you are admiring in that little shop in Venice.<BR>.. Say a prayer thanking God that you are in Italy.<BR>.. Stroll along the Via Condotti eating a gelato..<BR>.. Be driven on the Amalfi coast keeping your eyes open the whole time.<BR>.. Stop EVERYTIME you want to and not think "Oh I will see it the next time around."<BR>.. Stay in apartments instead of hotels so you can shop at the local stores and cook your own memorable dinner.<BR>.. Try different flavors of gelato each day.<BR>.. <BR>Somebody stop me !!!<BR>

On an early October morning, hike up the mist-shrouded Appennine Mountains during the fall foliage season in Abruzzi (your ancestral home)with your indulging innkeeper who is on a private mushroom hunt for the elusive porcini mushrooms for the day's meals. No one around for miles and miles. A moment to savor for the rest of your life. (at least mine!)
