Made it home, albeit a day late! Trip report in the works.
 

Hi everyone! What a wonderful, crazy, never to be forgotten trip!!!! From "Lost in the Sistine Chappel" (Really, I'll explain in the report) to my know it all dad having his wallet stolen, to practically having my front bumper glued to a city bus in Venice just to find the parking garage, to my dad being "abducted" by the Lubavitch (sp?) and having to remember hebrew from when he was a boy, to the fantastic food, wine and scenery.

Quick note for anyone about to go...learn all the Italian you can for helping you when you get lost, have trip insurance (came in handy...I told you so...a cell phone is a must..have back up credit/debit cards and don't keep telling your travel companions "but my Fodor's friends said..."

Back already?! Seems like you just left! Welcome back and rest up so you can give us a full and fun-filled report!!

Sounds like you had an exciting trip. Welcome back!!!

Tell me more about the food & wine. ((a)) ((b))

(Those crazy European Jews...LOL...My husband almost got 'kidnapped' too late one Friday afternoon in Venice's Jewish Ghetto...I would've laughed my --- off b/c my ultra-Reform guy doesn't even know how to doven or pull tefillen (and I don't know how to spell any of it)! ))

Look forward to your report, PLMN
