Here I am throwing a coin into the Trevi Fountain in 2009 to ensure a return trip to Rome!
Today’s finally the day!
We set off on our honeymoon this evening for an adventure all across Italy. Despite most people’s recommendations to just relax and take it easy, we have quite the extensive itinerary. There’s too many cool places to check out!
Here’s our plan: Fly into Milan and then head straight to Lake Como. Then head over to Venice, with a stop in Verona along the way. From Venice we’ll go to my aunt and uncle’s stunning villa in Treia and visit with friends. Then we start making our way to the Amalfi Coast, but first we stop off at a small town in Abruzzo. After exploring Capri and Positano in the Amalfi Coast, we make our way to our final destination: Rome.
We have an interesting mix of places, from apartments to hotels to bed and breakfasts to farmhouses to villas — it’s going to be a true taste of everything Italy has to offer. I can’t wait!!!!
Now, here’s some fun trivia for you:
Which of the following items made it into our carry-on luggage? (Select all that apply.)
A. Poker chips
B. Floss
C. A chess board
D. Survivor DVDs
E. Cats
The winner will get a special souvenir from Italy! :)

Ooooh! This is tough but maybe I can figure it out. Let’s see…
Poker chips? Would you really want to risk the possibility of repacking your carryon in the security lane of an international airport just for poker chips? The same poker chips that raise security concerns on every domestic flight you’ve taken? I think not.
Floss? Do you own floss?
Chess board? Possibly, but then you would need to bring the 32 bulky pieces (I actually looked that number up) which would definitely not make the cut. So, no to the board.
Survivor DVDs? Well, they don’t take up much space, but when would you find time to watch those while roaming the streets of Rome till 4:00AM?
Cats? Definitely not. You need to save suitcase space to bring home a descendant of Gigante, the tiny kitten we unfortunately left on the Italian farm in 2008.
So, by thoughtful deduction, I guess my answer is F) None of the above
You tricksters!! Have fun!!
btw – Should I specify now the flavor of gelato I would prefer as my prize souvenir?
