It has been 2 years since I have taken a proper vacation - so next week it is finally happening. The wife, kids, and I are off to the Eternal City - Rome. All roads lead to Rome.
In addition to sightseeing, drowning our selves in Gelato, and stuffing ourselves with pasta - we will indulge a family geek obsession and do some Geocaching.
Good for you! Love to see some pictures. I've wanted to visit there for awhile.
That is SOOO great! What fun! Please take massive amounts of pictures! I want to see!!!! Congrats!
AWESOME!!! And I love your new sig pic. Run, Runner!
Sounds like a great time. Enjoy yourselves!

AWESOME!!!! I would love to Geocache on another continent. I am currently working on a GC that is trying to get to Victoria, B.C. It is called the Eager Travel Beaver. It started in Scotland. I am in tononto, and moving to Calgary soon so I am hoping to get it a little closer.
Have a GREAT Vaca!
Pizza, you didn't mention pizza! :)
Yes, please bring some pictures, and Geocaching seems perfect to really see a lot of the country, not just the tourist locations! :)
... and don't forget to visit the Wall... in Rome... Piazza di Spagna.
Don't ask, that's all I know.
Sounds like a great vacation! Oh man, I would love the chance to visit some of the art museums in Rome. I am happy for you though. Hope it goes smoothly.
A great time was had by both adults and kids\kinder on our trip. We were even fortunate enough to see Benedict himself celebrating Mass in St. Peters Basilica. A history \ art \ pasta \ gelato fueled trip was enjoyed by one and all.

We actually saw the replica on the last day of this exhibit! I had seen the old-school still in operation Wall when I was still a university student - so it was a kick to see this replica.
Awesome pictures! Looks amazing. I need to get over there sometime.
Yeah, looks very good. We've never been either...and we live a lot closer than many of you :(
such great pictures. What a fun trip. I would love to visit Rome. Thanks for sharing.
Great photos mate, need to see one of you pretending to be a centurian. Cue various Life of Brian jokes

I've only seen the GDR after the Wall fell, but my partner did, they traveled on the transit routes and he thought it would be prison and the whole population criminals. Scary. *lol*
So much impressive sites to visit in Rome, and it seems the weather was good, must have been a great vacation! :)

Yes, someone looking suspiciously like John Cleese corrected my bit of graffiti "ROMANES EUNT DOMUS" - and made me write out "ROMANI ITE DOMUM" - followed by a threat if I didn't write it 100 times by sunrise....
