The four days we spent in Rome we enjoyed lots of site seeing and shopping.  One day, we hired a local tour guide and had a really nice tour.  Our feet hurt so bad every night from the walking.  We had an awesome Marble Bathtub in our hotel room - which I REALLY enjoyed!  It had been so long since I had a bubble bath!

At our Naples port of call, we took an exclusive tour that included Pompei, Posita, the Almalfi Coast and Sorrento.  It was a LONG exhausting day - but we sure had fun!  Sorrento is where we purchased our grandfather clock and vanity table.  In Posita, I bought a beautiful hand made Italian lace skirt and shirt.  We were able to watch them make cameos, which was very impressive.  I was so impressed that I decided I needed to purchase one ;-)
