First time overseas.

If you want to pray, pray for:

1) Air Canada pilots, technicians, and flight crew
2) Airport traffic control
3) On-time flights and that we make it in time
4) Pickpockets to stay away
5) Lack of Italian language skills

If you don't want to pray, then don't!

Hmmm, that was pretty selfish in hindsight. Why don't you pray for someone who needs it more?

=) See ya

It's fine to ask for prayers!

May the Lord bless you with a smooth and peaceful trip, filled with blessings!

Hope you have a wonderful time!

and pictures...we must have pictures

Have fun. Will pray. Italy is on the bucket list. Co-worker who did the Europe thing said take 7-10 days, fly into Frankfurt, and take trains out to the corners.

Eat lots of gelati!

When you get there you'll understand why it is so cheap to travel to Italy in August

Yes, indeed.

i'll pray under one condition..... if you go to the leaning tower of pisa and take a picture, PLEASE don't do that thing where you frame it up so it looks like you're holding the tower up.

Have a great time!

Ohhh I'm going to Pisa tomorrow and I will have to do the holding up pose. I didn't know about that until you mentioned it.

There's a reason me and some friends are going in October.

One of my sisters did take a picture of me holding that Pisa tower up last year.

Pisa is a little fake looking to me. Siena is intense.

If you are going to Napoli, you will experience first hand the garbage the italian mafia is capable of.

You would like giraffe as I did last year.

Even in the off season, we had to wait our "turn" to get that picture at the perfect angle. I really liked Pisa. I've never seen grass so green as the grass around that Church (in the dead of winter).

I am going to Vatican today and have my ticket. I can skip the buying line, yes? Are there two lines?
