Deb Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 I sooooo want to go to Rome. I do have a friend who said she could probably trade a week of one of her timeshares for a week in Rome and maybe only cost us each $100 for the lodging. I have 37,000 miles on NWA sooooo......only problem is she will want to go all over and I will want to spend the week at the Vatican or the churches and of course Mass every day. Maybe I could not tell her that until we got there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, and I was at the Spanish Steps. I could see a procession, and I saw JPII in his popemobile from a distance, but I didn't know what was going on until I got home! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatherineM Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 My husband got to go to Rome in '96 for a private audience. He keeps talking about wanting to go back, but I don't like to fly. I'm not sure I want to meet the pope. I could just see myself passing out of something. I'd probably curtsy at the wrong time, and bang heads or something.

But not wanting to be accused of superstition, I didn't tell anyone. My mother did notice, but didn't make anything of it until it was too late. They're all jealous now. Apparently I'm the only one going back. Hmm... I wonder what that means...
