Prologue:

Kathy and I went to Italy in 1990, but I had some regrets about that trip. First, we had never gotten to Venice or Pompeii, and that's just plain wrong. Also, it was long before digital cameras existed, and I was much pretty new (bad) at photography. So my photos were crappy and not digital. So my primary goals were to visit the places were missed in 1990 and get some decent photos.

What we did right:


We packed well, made reservations in advance, brought good cameras.


What we did wrong:


We booked an apartment in Venice that was on the fifth floor with no elevator. We crammed too much into every day.
