Final Thoughts on our Italy Trip

We have had a great trip and a great time!  We have sampled Italy and seen many of the "major" sites everyone expects to see.  The Monograms independent travel worked well and we would do that again.  We have eaten great food at nearly every meal and enjoyed some wonderful Italian wine.  The Italian people we have met were warm and welcoming, and always willing to be helpful.  English worked well most everywhere, much to our surprise, and we were grateful for that.  Italy is expensive in most of these tourist locations, but that is to be expected.  

Two weeks goes fast and I am writing this post over the Atlantic on the flight from Paris to Atlanta.  It seems we were just on our way.  But that is always how it goes when you are having a great time!  I have taken over 1100 photos and posted most of them through this blog.  That is my way of remembering a trip, as the photos become what you remember years later.  I don't know how many blog readers have actually viewed all of the photos, but I took them for us first and the blog was just a way to share them. If someone thinks he/she has seen them all, I would like to hear about it!

For anyone who has followed this blog from the start, I hope it has been at least a little entertaining.  It was harder to keep up that I envisioned, and I had many other topics in mind along the way to blog about, but had to give up at some point as there just wasn't time.  The blog is our diary of the trip, and I will leave it up indefinitely.  But, this is probably the last post.  Thanks to the very few who commented or emailed about the posts.  I learned it is nice to have some feedback, even when you are blogging just for yourself.  It's nice to know someone is reading.

Until the next trip... Jim
