A week from today I will be wandering through the Roman Forum, climbing the steps of the Coliseum, standing in St. Peter’s Square, and most definitely enjoying a Cappuccino at a café in front of the Pantheon. Yes, I’m going to Italy: two weeks in Rome, two nights in Assisi, one in Cortona and the rest of the time in Florence. I’ll be gone a month.
Those of you who have been following my blog for a while, and those of you who know me personally, are aware that I like to be by myself for long periods of time and I love to travel by myself. Last September I went to Scotland, and of course I’ve been going to the cottage by the sea for the past three winters.
Please, I am not advocating this amount and kind of solitude for everyone. I’m just sharing what I do to follow my bliss, with the hope that you will find your own ways to follow yours. Traveling alone works for me. I budget my money carefully, my husband honors my need (and likes solitude, too), and I’m very comfortable traveling.
