Gezgin Looking forward to your travels in Italy. I haven't seen much of it but loved what I did. Well except Venice. A place you have to go at least once in your life, but so many other places to go.
Gezgin Not sure we'll be spending much time in Italy, so many other places to see and we saw a fair bit of Italy in 2022...there are some places I'd like to go back to though.
