How to Ruin Yourself Completely
March 1st, 2005 | Posted by Shannon
There is a thread over on the Fodors message board, a guy asking for advice on his week long trip to Rome (first trip to Italy…)
Day one: arrive at FCO, rent car, drive to apartment, check in, look around Rome.
Day two: Drive to fucking Florence! See many things in Florence, go have dinner (7:30), drive BACK to Rome.
Day three: I think there is a Pope thing happening.
Day four: go to Capri, and then to a shrine near Napoli or something.
Day five: Drive BACK to Rome.
Day six, seven. Hang out, see some more of the Pope (maybe.) Return car. Leave.
Am I high, or is this plan just a little psychotic?
Thank god for laziness. MY laziness. Ambition while traveling can be deadly. Not to mention overestimating yourself.
Five days, till my own lazy Blast Off.

Reminds me of my sister-in-law who came to visit Paris for a week and wondered if she would have time to visit Amsterdam and London. Huh? Sure, if you just don’t really care about being on the road for 4 days. She eventually came to her senses.
P.S. Thanks for the footnote…. I’m humbled.
