I usually try to avoid traveling to cold countries. I don't like the cold and have a slight problem with heights so skiing is not really my sport. Besides after living in Manhattan for 14 years with a house in Cold Springs, where at times we literally could barely open the door because of the snow accumulation through the night, I do prefer warmer climates.

However, my passion for travelling is such that this February I have an opportunity to tag along on a trip to Rome and though there will be no snow it will be cold but I wouldn't miss it for anything. Besides I feel that there is no travel that should not be done because of climatic circumstances. Besides... there's always thermal underwear!

Regards to all.
