A few years ago I was in Rome, although I remember my time there as if was just yesterday. I can't wait to go back, and recently we've been talking about doing exactly that, perhaps for a long weekend in a discount Rome hotel.
Rome is known as the eternal city for a good reason, it is beautiful, filled with history, and never seems to be anything less than awe-inspiring.
My favorite place in Rome would have to be around the Trevi Fountain, watching people throw coins over their shoulders into the water, seeing the statues rising magnificently up into the air, and all around, the apartment building where I could imagine spending a few hours on a balcony watching locals and tourists alike.
The Colosseum has got to be one of the most impressive ancient buildings on the planet, and being able to wander inside where gladiators and slaves would fight for the glory the Empire sends shivers down your spine. I got goosebumps looking down into the tunnels beneath the Colosseum just imagining what it would have been like.
Of course no trip to Rome would be complete without also visiting the Vatican City and seeing it's museum and the Cistine Chapel. Saint Peter's Basilica is also on site and is a must see destination while in Rome.

Cruise Locators Luxury Cruises
I've always wanted to take a luxury cruise, especially around the Mediterranean islands and places like Monaco, the Italian coast, maybe Tunisia as well.
Wouldn't it be great, on a cruise ship with everything you could possibly need and all the luxuries as well, and on a Crystal Cruise even less people travel than other cruise lines, only 1,000 people per cruise.
Picture me sitting on a deck chair reading a book and sipping champagne or something expensive with waiters at my beck and call. In the evenings eating the finest foods prepared by world class chefs, then at the end of the evening going back to my stateroom and sinking into a king size bed with the softest most comfortable sheets.
This is the kind of life I think I was born to have, shame I can't have it all the time, but on the other hand a quick cruise should be affordable. Booking a luxury cruise is one of those things I think everyone should do once in their life, and I plan to book mine next year. Cruise Locators make it easy to find the perfect cruise, all from the comfort of my own home.
Perhaps even more interesting though, a luxury cruise doesn't have to be just a great cruise, it can also be an opportunity to learn. Crystal Cruises also host the Creative Learning Institute where you can learn languages or wine tasting, Tai Chi etc, even computer skills if you need it.
