Final Plans for Italy

With 2 weeks before we go to Italy, we have everything all planned out. Karrie and i worked on the itinerary for a long time. We've changed the places, the dates and mode of transportation several times.We looked at options like going to Pisa but found out that the leaning tower is the only thing to see there and not worth making a special stop.

This is also from Kentucky. I didn't try it. The GM plant...

Actually i was really amazed at how cool this was, once i figured out how to use it. For example in this picture i set the slider to line up with the 6.
