I Knew the Travel Planner In Me Would Take Over...

Well, not completely the Rome itinerary is still fairly loose, but I did make several, OK four, restaurant reservations. Thanks has to go to the the staff at the Albergo del Senato who made 3 of the 4 dinner reservations for me.  For the last of the four reservations, I googled the name of the restaurant and was pleasantly surprised to find they took reservations via email.  One night, in my fractured Italian and with help from Google Translate, I dashed off an email requesting a reservation.  When I checked my email in-box the next morning..viola...there was the confirmation from the restaurant.  Yay!

I'm happy to say the two food/restaurant apps I bought for my phone have already come in handy because all four of the restaurants I have reservations with I found on those apps!  Thanks Elizabeth Minchilli & Katie Parla!

And speaking of Elizabeth Minchilli, the last booking I made for this trip is an olives & olive oil workshop.  Mom and I decided to treat ourselves to this 2 hour workshop with one of our favorite Rome bloggers.  We're both really looking forward to meeting Elizabeth and learning about olive oil.

So, there will be lots to "report" on back here at my blog....stay tuned for more on my return to Roma!
