You're not ready. For sightseeing on the Med you really can't beat Portofino. Better yet, go to Barolo in the Piedmont region and try the wine. I think you're right about me not being ready, but the two guys in our little group are for sure. My role has be declared to be either winch wench or dinghy captain. I wonder what the difference in prices are, but I guess you then have to get it to the US, pay the duty, etc. I was thinking I might venture north from Rome. I've never been to that area of Italy, and I have friends in the Nice (France) area, so it would basically be in the neighborhood. Looks like it's about five hours from Portofino to Nice, but we won't be in a rush at that point. Trying the wine goes without says!  |

It should be a blast, and they should be back from their vacation by then. Do you have any idea what the toll roads cost? I've heard it's not cheap. |

The horror, the horror... Same thing they do when you're here, rubbing themselves raw. I wonder how many pairs of rubber gloves they wear to prevent giving themselves an STD? -- I'd much rather be a champion of the powerless than a lickspittle of the powerful. |

Funny you should say that when it's you and your buddies that talks about us boaters all day long while we are out having a life... Don't really know who you are trying to fool besides Donnie, Plum, and Harry... |
