Our Italian Itinerary
To all who may think they actually care:
Attached is our itinerary from our trip to Italy, early November 05. It is sort of a mix of what we planned to do and what we did. I'm sure my wife will have me correct it, but pictures will come soon. Ok, within a couple of months unless I do some during Thanksgiving.
