9A lighthearted romp through several Italian towns finds the author encountering a humorous array of people, places and situations as he and his wife live out their dream of an extended Italian vacation. From haplessly renting a flat above a busy fish market in Palermo to observing the chaos of the Palio in Sienna, this travel adventure is both informative and funny. It follows the couple as they walk, drive and fly to well known and lesser known locales, experiencing the local culture, getting hopelessly lost and finding the humor in otherwise stressful situations. Along the way, the reader is treated to detailed explanations of local attractions with poignant observations. A perfectly fun armchair travel experience that just might send you packing.
