OK, I need help.

Do I take this one

http://www.sunhotels.it/majestic_palace/hotel_en

or this one

http://www.villamonica.com/EN/1/395/hotel.htm

The cute one is 3 star and out of town, the big one is four star and close to town?

It's the one my wife will like best I want.

No.

Think I've changed my mind and I'll take this one

Doesn't get great reviews but look at that setting.

Still kinda like that cute one though.

Haven't heard back from the cute one. I'll do the packing and if they still haven't replied it's the Maximilian.

Packing DONE. check

Passport. IN POCKET. check

Night train to Madrid? Leaves 21.18 - so staton 21.00. check

Two hours in hand. PLAY SIOME MOVES. check

Haven't heard from Hotel Villa Monica?

Wait a little bit more.

Cute one full. Taken the Maximilian.

So it's night train to Madrid, express on to Barcelona in the morning. Pick up the wife and boat to Civitavechia. Couple of days in Rome (not my favourite city but Veronica likes it) then on to Verona and a performance of Aida in the Arena, two nights in the Ippopotomo and on to Garda.

Then a family wedding in Piza and home.

I tell you being retired certainly has some drawbacks but it can also be kinda fun. :)


Now what have I forgotten?

tickets, money, present, ..........

Me? Forgot me!
