Our Proposed Itinerary

Both Joan and Pam started looking for accommodations.  Since Anzio is south of Rome, Joan thought she would like to also visit Sorrento to see the Isle of Capri and Pompeii…since we’d be near the area.  She had read all about them (and other places too, of course) in Richard Halliburton’s Complete Book of Marvels, which her grandmother had sent to her at age 12.   (PS: Every now and then, you'll see it in a second hand bookstore.  Grab it!)
