March 20 Italy: Places I'll go and Things I'll doAgain, this is a work in progress as I add more details but here's my fairly comprehensive list of things I'll be doing in Italy. Of course I'm not crazy enough to think I'll do them all but I've listed them from most important "must do" items at the top to the bottom third being the "if I can fit it in, have the energy or desire to try to do". Clubs are of course the exception to the placement on the list rule. . . I'll be working in as many, if not ALL, that I can in that department!!
