I’m having a hard time getting my head together - I’m sure this is just one of the usual symptoms of jet lag. Isn’t it? I know you’re supposed to be really tired, but mostly, I’m just scatterbrained.

When I get my neurons working again, I’ve got a few words to share on Italian dessert, a comprehensive packing list for first time travelers, and some more glorious photos and stories about Italy.

In the meantime, do you have any questions about Italy or travel in general? Tracey had an excellent one - How much do hostels usually cost? I’ll answer that, and any others after the turkey is digested.

Happy holiday!
