Life Comes at You Fast. Slow It Down with My Friday Email. It’s Free.

In this installment, I want to draw your attention to Your Survival Guy’s best insider’s guide to Rome. This is a tricky one because in just a handful of conversations on my first day back stateside, four out of five of you are either going to Rome, just got back, or have a cousin there. It’s not a secret.

We live in a world where information is readily available. “Let me google that,” makes walking around without a brain like Scarecrow not that dangerous, which can make trips traveling down cobblestones without a plan some of the best.

Our tour of the Vatican was with a guide that everyone knew was excellent. When I thought our tour was being hijacked by two twenty-somethings asking interesting questions, I realized they live with me and that all that schooling paid off. But let’s not get carried away. The phones were out at breakfast, lunch, and dinner making me feel more like a U.N. worker trying to keep the peace. Aren’t vacations fun?

Action Line: Come back tomorrow for Your Survival Guy’s top choices from our trip to Rome. Take ‘em for what they’re worth. You got this.
