In 2002 I went on a "pilgrimage" to Italy....
While I say I'm Catholic, I'm not a very good (practicing) Catholic -- I consider myself more "spiritual" -- but man! I'd do that in a second!! I did see (and was blessed by) future Saint John Paul II, tho!
I've been to Italy six or seven times. Venice, Florence, Rome and throughout Sicily. It's been too many years since we've been back.
And I'm sure you'll back many more times! (Please take me with you!!)
