Don't forget to bring a big-ass stick to beat the crap out of the 'cardboard kids' - street urchins in Rome who hold sheets of cardboard to distract you while their greedy little hands work away underneath, picking your pockets.
And hats. You can't be tourists without wearing hats.
Show us your packing strategies! Hee hee hee :)
wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.........
*sob* I shall miss you guys! Please eat an extra gelati for me.
I WANNA GOOOOOO!!!!!!

I'm hoping that our photos will be as good as the ones you take on your travels *jealous* ;)
Wow... you guys are covering a lot of ground. Amazing... I'll bet Umbria will be best!! But to each her own.
Drool.. all the italian food... make sure you eat kau kau.... no regrets upon return. And makan the weird Inky Spaghetti.. guaranteed to make you go yuck if you hate the smell of squids. And taste the alcohol laden gelato.
Take a photo of a handsome italian if you can find one... I could not...
Bloody hell. Jealousnya aku!!
