17 more days...

We have a winner! We have a winner! We have a winner!

Mo is going to try to see the most sites in Rome. She (and by default Mike) will be seeing: The Roman Forum, Sistine Chapel, The Pantheon, St. Peter's Basilica, Trevi Fountain, The Colosseum, Vatican City, St. Peter's Square, Palatine Hill, Capitoline Hill, view from dome of St. Peter's, Circus Maximus, Arch of Constatine and the Arch of Septimus Severus.  Followed closely behind Mo is Karen who not only is going to see a large majority of those sites, Karen has said (reading betwee the lines that is) she will be taking Ken and Cindy to the Cat Sanctuary.

Three of us have said we are most looking forward to see the Colosseum (Mike, Mo and Janet).  I could have wagered money on what Karen would say she was most interested in seeing -- Trevi Fountain.  While I'd like to be hanging with Karen at the fountain, Ken and I are hanging with Dad. To the  question, what are you most looking forward to in Rome, Dad answered Wine at Lunch.

On to the first of the two filler questions: who will have nicely manicured nails?  Half of us will and half will not.  While it is probably very easy to guess, I'll provide the answer.  Mom of course will, Karen probably will, and Michael was very smart by getting his done yesterday.  Mo said his 'dark eggplant' colored toe nails are to-die-for.

As always we end the survery with an open ended question: anything else to add.  Instead of picking a single item, there were three precious answers:

Mo:

I want to get one of those tacky photos with a gladiator!

Karen:

Rome is sure to be an action-packed-fun-filled day! This is the one place I hope to buy a remembrance token from our trip...something special and uniquely Italian...maybe a small piece of jewelry - like a silver cross necklace.

Dad:

Best not have too much wine at lunch.


That's all for this edition folks. See ya'll in Rome!

  1. Mo, if you don't get a tacky photo with a gladiator, I'm sure Mike or Karen could photoshop one for you.

    Karen, have you seen any of the videos on line at RC that you access to see what excurisons they have to offer. Many video's show stopping at a little cameo shop.

    Dad, hiccup!

  5. I have a feeling we will ALL sleep soundly after exploring Rome...Rome was not built in a day - can it be explored in a day?

    Terrific post Cindy!!!...I'd like to get a close look at these spreadsheets!
