I’m about to head out to the airport to fly to Milan, but before I did I chose a winner for this drawing! I sorted through the comments for people who said they didn’t want to be entered & people who commented more than once, & then using a random number generator at random.org I’m happy to announce that the winner is Britt-Arnhild! I’ll be contacting you shortly via email to get your mailing address so we can get the book to you – hopefully before you leave!

Congrats to Britt-Arnhild, and thanks to everyone else who entered! If you didn’t win and you’d still like a copy of the book – and if Amazon doesn’t restock soon – you can try the book’s website, too:

My tip is to relax, take it slow and not plan too much. Vacation means you go with the flow and just enjoy yourself!

I could have used this on my trip to Italy in March…and would love to have it to use on my return trip!

“The enthusiastic but inexperienced traveler…” that’d be me! Sounds like a great book. Can’t wait.

In rome try to stay near piazza navonna or campo di fiori and spend your time visiting the churches. they are free and you will see the most fantastic art in their original setting. they are usually closed in the afternoon for lunch and some have very weird hours. take coins for the light machines to help support the church and get a better look at the art.

Relax. Time moves at a completely different pace in Italy. This way you’ll be able to enjoy all that Italy has to offer & take very very comfortable yet stylish walking shoes. You’ll need them! Buon viaggio!
