In reply to David.

Hi David,
Thanks so much for sharing your Italian “history”! Lovely story, for sure. You’re right about the passport info. I think even just a few hours without their passport makes some people anxious…but no need to worry. I hope you are planning yet another visit to your second home! And thanks again for your email.

I like your style.
When my wife was alive we made nine or ten two week trips in Italy together. We always managed, small but elegant hotels, eating at small family restaurant’s a street or two off the grid. No tours just us. took the trains or metros almost everywhere, occasionally a taxi or bus as needed. About 10 years ago a dear friend asked “why do you keep going back?” My simple answer was we just hadn’t had enough yet, He took his family the next spring and the next two years after that, I guess he got it. My daughter who is an adult figured out in ’13 I was having way to much fun in Spain, Southern France and most of all Florence and Rome and shamed me into one more Italian adventure with her tagging along in ’14. She’s went back solo in ’15 for a month. We are going again this winter which will be my thirteenth visit over the years.

your advice is very constituent with what I know. The only thing I might add to avoid separation anxiety: When asked to surrender your passport when checking into a accommodation, they are required to submit your information and you will get it back that evening or in the morning.
