I love Italy!

Julie: <BR> <BR>Read "The Hills of Tuscany: A new life in an old land". <BR> <BR>You'll really enjoy it.

Julie, you and 500 other people on this board, if postings are any indication, myself included!!!

Add my family. Marilyn

we were in rome last october & it was outstanding. Crowded, yes! Noisy, yes! <BR>Dirty, yes! and many other problems, yes! But, it was outstanding. Rent a condo, stay 2 weeks, eat in/eat out. Mix with the people. Take the metro/bus/train, get lost. DO IT! <BR>We went because it is Rome & it is different. It is not NYC/CHI/LA, thank god, or why would you have gone? <BR>This is one of the cradles of civilization & if not for them, probably no us! <BR>Not cheap by the way! But, we are going back again..........soon! <BR>We are irish/italian couple & are not selling anything. <BR> <BR>We are definitely going back again!

Message Bob/Marlene <BR>I have never forgotten the excitement I felt when I arrived in Rome the first time - it was my first love - but over the years I think I enjoy Assisi more now, it's peace (even in the midst of get crowds) and beauty is good for my soul - maybe it is old age? <BR>Helen Donegan, editor Italywithus.com - <BR>a free monthly eZine. <BR>[email protected] <BR>www.italywithus.com

Helen - Perhaps you should e-mail the fodors folks directly and ask them if you should or should not be posting your e-Zine address. They're at [email protected] <BR> <BR>But I must say, yours is one of the most interesting e-Zines I've read in a while. I have thoroughly enjoyed them. Very informative. Keep 'em coming!

It just doesnt get any better than Italy!
