I still love Alitalia. I was in economy on the way back and didn't feel squished.
Did not love JFK airport.
Do not love Delta Airlines. They broke my hard side suitcase. Practically ripped the wheel off...and damage by baggage handlers is not covered by the suitcase's warranty. I know it was them as the bag was fine when I rolled it through customs and to the re-check area at JFK.
Anyway, I am so sorry about this late posting of all of my blog. The apartment in Rome was fine, it was actually in a perfect location but it was not my favorite mostly due to the stairs and the very sad and intermittent Internet. Apparently, it would work on my phone (which was no longer connected to the right Google account for this blog) but not on my netbook. It wasn't my netbook's fault because it connects fine everywhere else.
Still, it did not really affect the fact that I had a great time. If I hadn't been struggling with tendonitis in my foot, I probably wouldn't have been so cranky about the stairs (I've stayed in 4th floor walk-ups many times before on my trips to Europe).
I suggest you start on the first day of the blog (although that particular post needs updating) HERE and then click the links at the bottom left side of each page for a "Newer Post." That way you can navigate it in order.
Again, sorry about the wait and hope you enjoy my trip!
Welcome back! I was going to ask what you used for data access, but sounds like you had the same trouble we did. Great pictures, as always! I'm going to have to do Pompeii someday. Looks like you had a good time, and picked a great way to celebrate your birthday.
