Room with a View '08: Mama mia est vertoso (My mother is windy)

Dolci

"The sights drive the itinerary, but the people make the magic." --Rick Steves

"Traveling is the ruin of all happiness! There's no looking at a building after seeing Italy." --Fanny Burney

"A man who has not been in Italy, is always conscious of an inferiority, from his not having seen what it is expected a man should see." --Samuel Johnson

"You may have the universe if I may have Italy." --Giuseppe Verdi

"Writing and travel broaden your ass, if not your mind, and I like to write standing up." --Ernest Hemingway

“Travel is glamorous only in retrospect.” --Paul Theroux

“Travel does what good novelists also do to the life of everyday, placing it like a picture in a frame or a gem in its setting, so that the intrinsic qualities are made more clear. Travel does this with the very stuff that everyday life is made of, giving to it the sharp contour and meaning of art.” --Freya Stark

“Once you have traveled, the voyage never ends, but is played out over and over again in the quiestest chambers. The mind can never break off from the journey.” --Pat Conroy

My mother can’t stop. She shouldn’t bend over or reach up. Seriously. I wish she would warn me when they are coming so I can get one on videotape.
