Rome for Easter?


“Thursday is my birthday, Dan. Can’t we do something special?” Nazy asked.

“Of course, my dear,” I replied. “I’ll find a nice restaurant,” I thought. “What did you have in mind?”

“We could spend the Easter holiday in Italy.”

“Italy?”

“Rome. We haven’t been to Rome for about 20 years.”

“Hmm…” I replied.

“And when we went, our hotel…”

“… sucked,” I thought.

“… wasn’t so great,” Nazy noted. “We deserve a good hotel – something near the Spanish Steps.”

“I thought the Spanish Steps were in Madrid.”

“Dan! The Spanish Steps are in the middle of the best shopping district.”

“Really?”

“We can go shopping in Rome.”

“The stores will be closed for the Easter holiday, Nazy.” I exclaimed.

“Maybe we should travel the week after my birthday. It won’t be so crowded. Do you think they do ‘after Easter’ sales?”

In response to queries, I’ve included a photo of a sport jacket tailored in Hong Kong. Readers were concerned that may have purchased a polka dot tuxedo.
