sue ([email protected]) Obviously you have not had the privilege of visiting Italy, or if you have, you must have the same travel brain as elmom - "Smelly Italy"?? maybe you were a little to close to your narrow moldy mind.

hmmm . . just noticed your e-mail address, I guess the "troll" part says it all!

Sue, If Boston really is your home, please move! It's posts like yours that give us a bad rap! . . . Smelly? Sorry to hear that Tuscany & the beautiful Amalfi coast reek! I think you need to get your head out of the sand (or garbage pail - wherever you have it stuck)

You make a good point, Jack. If anyone thinks Italy is smelly, their head is obviously not in the sand, but stuck up their own smelly a_$_s.

Gee, ElMom, you should have traveled like locals do - on the "T" - instead of parking your land yacht all over town. I believe Tage has free shuttle to the station! And I can't remember the name of those passes they sell (someone help me here) but 1 ticket for many attractions at a greatly reduced amount ... CityPass ! ... could have saved you several bucks. Same with some water bottles for the cherubs. Well, next time, enjoy Italy; I doubt Boston will miss you.
