Hence, gaining proper orientation to the hustles and bustles of the city can dampen the anxieties and worries that a traveler like you traveler must be experiencing. Arm yourself with the right information to survive your much-awaited Rome holiday.
To pack the right clothes, you need to check the weather in Rome. Rome is usually filled with sunny days the entire year. The best time to travel to Rome is during the months of April and May when the sky is clear and blue. The height of summer runs from the month of July to August, which is usually uncomfortably hot for most European and American tourists.
In the past, the anatomy of the great city of Rome is not without telephones. However, as the locals grew independent of local phones, public phone booths nearly became extinct. It would be wise to carry your cellular phone. Otherwise, you need to buy prepaid phone cards to the nearby tobacco (tabacchi) store. Also, you need to remember that phone cards won’t work if you are meaning to call a friend that is located outside Italy. You need to buy another kind of phone card, the one intended for international calls. (more…)
The wine you serve your guests at your wedding will be one of the most talked parts of your day (after the ceremony, your dress & the food!). Unfortunately your guests will remember a bad wine long after they have forgotten a good one (probably because they have drunk so much of it!). Whatever style your day will take on – sit-down, buffet or barbecue, here are some tips to help you make the right choice.
What’s your serving style?
Most couples choose to serve a complimentary glass of champagne or bucks fizz as their guests arrive, followed by another glass for the wedding toasts & red & white wine with the meal. But you don not have to follow the trend. You may fancy serving classic cocktails for a bit of contemporary glamour or would you prefer the champagne to flow all day? How much should you allow per guest?
This is the difficult part; you don’t want to supply your guests with enough drink that they are under the tables by the time the best stands up for his speech. Neither does want to provide so little that guests’ glasses are empty before the main course is served. Typical advice is to allow half a bottle of wine per head during the course of a lunchtime meal & three quarters for an evening meal. (more…)
