Yes, with Rome I really went all out this time.
It's my big holiday for the year.

I don't really spend much money in everyday live, so it equals out. What I save during the year, I spend on a few weekends while travelling through Europe just having funs at cons or with friends.

I don't speak Italian at all, I think I forgot pretty much all my French and Russian because I haven't used either in a long long time, German - of course. And my English gets me around well enough. It will be the language spoken there mostly anyway thankfully.

We will stay at the Hilton after the con, and probably use the shuttle to drive into the city.
