Italy Trip Day 32
We walked and talked in Youngstown park.
We said goodbyes to oldest Sis.
Time spent with sisters was a lark.
All five of us were up for this.
And then to Mesa, a long flight.
Arrived there well into the night.
And rushed to hubby’s open arms.
Glad I was kept from all that harms.
Italy Trip Day 31
It would be nice to teleport,
With no more cars, trains, or airplanes.
To travel would be such a sport.
No weaving in and out of lanes.
By travel we would get our kicks.
Tomorrow, I’d beam to Phoenix.
Teleport, or by car and plane,
The joy of seeing hubby—same!
Italy Trip Day 30
In Youngstown, but visit P-A.
To see the place where we were raised.
Some memories stirred up today.
Country living and kin be praised.
Walked the land where our house once was.
Then ‘cross the road to see our cuz.
Two cousins and old neighbor friend.
Too soon, our visit had an end.
Day 29 Italy Trip
Lost souvenirs, but they’re returned.
What a relief, a guard found them.
Candy bar’s gone, but it was earned.
With all going on around them.
In Ohio, five together,
Thankful for this and fine weather.
Saw the new baby, what a doll.
Yay for family, one and all!
Day 28 Italy Trip
The day came as we knew it would.
An airport staff man sang goodbye.
I watched three movies since I could.
So much stress but, I like to fly.
Happy day seeing little sis!
And my nephew at the hotel.
I’m glad for travel such as this.
Safe in PA and all is well.
Day 27 Italy Trip
Italian driving is crazy,
At least it’s so where we have been.
Especially lovely Capri
On roads that are high, rough, and thin.
The island’s a beautiful jewel.
To experience it is cool.
Blue grotto is fun in row boats.
A sunny day, no need for coats.
Day 26 Italy Trip
We changed hotels again today,
As we go through Italian towns.
Sorrento, Naples and Pompeii,
As we make our touristy rounds.
Pompei is all it’s said to be.
Those people had no time to flee,
And so beautiful by the sea.
Next, we plan to go to Capri.
Day 25 Italy Trip
We toured the Vatican today,
Statues, paintings, and lots of pomp.
And clicking photos all the way,
We followed the guide’s every prompt.
And what a busy place it was!
The Sistine Chapel—lots of fuss.
We paid a lot to taxi home.
from the Holy See within Rome.
Day 24 Italy Trip
Went to Montepulciano
A medieval town on a hill
We enjoyed lasagna although
The diners in small room were shrill
Old buildings and quaint, narrow streets
We shopped for souvenirs and treats
Nestled in hills, vineyards, Cyprus
We slept clear to Rome on the bus
Day 23 Italy Trip
Ah Venice! Yes! So romantic.
Ride gondolas in the canals
Too bad the rain made us frantic.
We sloshed in Venice with our pals.
Tag-along so I won’t get lost.
Toured a palace at a high cost.
Sister stayed at the hotel. Smart!
Next day, we’ll get an early start.
Day 22 Italy Trip
The Resources of Old Things and Pizza.
From Florence to Bologna town.
We saw clock tower and a church.
We went up a long hill and down.
Left my poor sister in a lurch.
We went to Padua. It rained.
The roads appear to be one-laned.
Ate pizza till we could no more.
In Venice now, it’s time to snore.
Day 21 Italy Trip
We walked in Florence in the rain.
My new raincoat failed. I got wet.
Statue-filled piazza’s do reign.
The guide explained all through headset.
Ate lunch and back to the hotel.
I sat on the bed, almost fell.
I dried off and then took a nap.
Tomorrow, three spots on the map.
Day 20 Italy Trip
We left Rome on a big coach bus
St. Frances of Assisi crypt
The town was beautiful to us
It was a highlight of the trip
Siena’s hills and narrow streets
A challenge, had to stop for sweets
Piazza del Campo, the place
Of Palio, famous horse race

Day 19 Italy Trip
We took a train--Florence to Rome.
Of Roman ruins there’s no end.
Coliseum once had a dome.
Exciting to see ‘round each bend.
The nine-day tour begins tonight.
We’ll walk two hours in dim light.
We’ll rise early and board a bus,
I hope we make it with no fuss.
Day 18 of Italy Trip
Goodbye to the Write Away folks.
And we managed to catch a train.
We bumbled through and felt like jokes.
We made it to Rome safe and sane.
We found the hotel a bit late.
We scheduled a previous date.
A golf cart tour to see the sights
It got so dark, they turned on lights.
