[Idyllchat] Trip to Rome

[Jerry Clancy]

Pam,

I can't help much on the Rome details, but I definitely recommend 
driving. To take the train you would have to drive 90 minutes to the 
east anyway to Chiusi to get the train. Better to just go south. 
Suspect it's about a 3 hour drive or so but others who have driven it 
would have a better metric on this. Having wheels in Rome would be an 
immense value to you, I would think.
