Oh My God! Returning to Roma!

Buon Natale Roma 2008!!!!

Yup, that's right...tonight I took the plunge and hit the submit button on the Delta Airlines website and bought tickets to Rome for Christmas 2008. How could I pass up a decent airfare to the Eternal City! We are leaving Christmas day and return on January 3, 2009.

Well, I did say since this is my 4oth year I couldn't think of a better way to celebrate the year than starting it in Rome and ending it in Rome. Ok, so technically I was back here in the USA on December 31, 2007, but close enough!

I have also booked the hotel...yup, I am QUICK! We'll be staying at the Hotel Smeraldo (www.smeraldoroma.com), which is in the Centro Storico (historic center for those in the know!) and not to far from Campo de Fiori...let's hope we can get some of the great pizza from Al Forno this time!

So, 2008 looks like a chock-full travel year! I love this....it keeps me sane! Now not only do I get to plan for the France trip (mostly just the "extra" non-tour days in France) but a full 8 days in Rome...and this time no tour...it will all my own planning! I'm putting myself to the test!

Ahhhhh...Roma!

Ciao!
