I'd like to pass this tidbit on to anyone thinking about traveling to Italy. The author (Margo Classé) of Hello Italy, which is a guide to affordable hotels in Italy, is giving away free copies as an incentive to help people get back into the spirit of traveling to Europe. She said on radio to just call 888-663-9269 (toll free) and mention WOR The Travel Show. I believe she'll also pay for shipping. I'm heading to India, not Italy, so don't need a copy myself.

And speaking of India, I had planned to go this past Oct and Nov, but postponed until late Feb. I gather the weather is still good in most of India up until April. What's traveling like in April??

We had a great trip to Utah this fall to see Bryce and Zion, 2 beautiful parks we've missed seeing on our various trips west. Had one night in Vegas and were thrilled to be able to get tickets to Cirque du Soleil. Fabulous!
