No matter how much I travel, it always seems like pure magic you can get on a plane, sit there for some hours, and arrive at a place like this:
Venice, Italy
Or this:
St. Angelo Bridge, Rome, Italy
And even though I may get cheated by a taxi driver (hey, I can now say I have been cheated on two continents!), have to sit by a guy who snores (I sleep next to one on a daily basis, so no biggie), get practically run over by a scooter (it is Italy after all, maybe he was hoping for more than a brush of the elbow?), or have to beg a waiter on bended knee for a few pieces of precious ice… I will continue to test the magic – time and time again.

Looking for the Sweet Spot 
It’s all part of the charm of other places! I love it, too…
Good that you take the positive things over the negatives, it makes for a more pleasant trip.
Absolutely! In fact, sometimes the negative things are the best stories tell and remember (and laugh about later).
When I see those pictures, it seems that I saw the real thing just yesterday instead of many years ago. It’s comforting to know that some things (like begging for ice) never change!
Yes! The last time we were here was many years ago, too and I can’t tell anything has changed!
It’s always worth for it for the good experiences and memories. 🙂
I completely agree!
Sounds like it’s been a wonderful adventure! Can’t wait to hear the stories the boys have to tell!!
Yes! I am sure they will have some good stories to share!
