The Pickpocketer's Survival Guide
The First Attempt My wife and I visited Italy to celebrate our thirtieth wedding anniversary. It was on my wife’s bucket list of places to visit, and it was on my bucket list, too, but not as high. So we planned our trip nine months in advance, researching all the top sites in Rome. We even got into arguments about visiting other sites in Italy. Should we drive along the Amalfi coast, plan an afternoon in Positano and enjoy the breathtaking sea view from a quaint family-run trattoria, or visit the well-preserved ruins of Pompeii? As fate would have it, my wife won, and we did it all, plus throw in a day trip to Florence into the mix.
