I've never been but I'm going for the first time ever this year with my father. It was a Christmas present that I got for him. I'm not quite sure where we're going (since this is his trip I told him to decide when and where he wanted to go). I just told him I wanted to visit the Vatican and the Colosseum when we're over there.

I got him about 9 different travel brochures so he could decide on a trip but he knows a guy from back in high school that has family over there. He said he'd go with us if we wanted and we could stay with him and his family (not a bad way to save some money). Plus he speaks the language, knows his way around, knows where to go/where not to go and we won't feel rushed like we might on a tour group. I'm VERY excited to be able to cross this off of my bucket list!
