But for taking stuff back home, you need a shop that can vacuum-pack the cheese: Volpetti, though pricey, will be well...

I consider slow food the godmother of slow travel. Thank you, Alessandra. Like most fellow posters, I enjoy this thread very much although I don't "do" all and may not even agree to all. The word commandment is indeed loaded. It is not so much elitist as it rings didactic. But the text is amusing and thought-provoking, well, for most of us.

France Photohunt #24 - Arch

I'm really enjoying this thread. Here are the lovely arches of the Russian Orthodox chapel in the old cemetery above Vieux Menton. Many members of the Russian royalty lived in Menton in the late 1800's and are buried in the cemetery.

Three hours from Firenze to Napoli is pretty amazing since that is half what it realistically would take to drive it.

Tiepolo

I love the place as well.We decided against staying in the Valier apartment(tiepolo taken) as it was only afew Euro cheaper than a very nice room at the Hotel Galleria. I'm not sure if she jacked up the rates due to the Regatta Storica or if rates are just up 40-50% since our stay last year. RR

Sharon - do you mean the 2CV (Deux Chevaux) tours? I did find this site , which may be what you are thinking of. Don't know anything about them, but that could really be fun. Or you could try two wheeling it on a Segway tour. Judy

We rented a smaller cottage in Chipping Campden for two weeks last summer, from Campden Cottages, who also lists Blakeman's House. I think Chipping Campden is a great base in the Cotswolds, and several members have had good experience with Campden Cottages agency.

Jeff Absolutely stacks of choice, so you've got a choice of drivers: a) Let your favourite wineries guide you to the region the wine is made in e.g. Chianti, Valpolicella, Barolo, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano etc. b) Choose the region that appeals most and then discover the local wine scene. This might be Emilia-Romagna for Lambrusco, Colli Bolognesi, etc. or Rome for Frascati, Est!Est!!Est!!!, ...

My sister & I ate there last week....it's a must-go-to everytime I'm in Venice. The pumpkin flan with asiago and pine nuts is terrific...it's rich so share it. I'm not a vegetarian but I could become one if I ate at LaZucca regularly. All their vegetable sides are divine....sometimes I make a meal outta them! You can't go wrong at LaZucca.

Depends on how the data is stored. If it's not much an USB key can be the simplest. Or if you have a network that's an option but it requires you know how to setup the network. If you don't have a massive amount I'd consider the key. Save the things you want to the key then plug the key into the new computer.
