Feeling restless this week. The travel bug has been nipping at me again lately. Here's the courtyard of our rental apartment in Rome a couple of summers ago. If you're giving in to the travel bug, I highly recommend checking out home rental sites like www.vrbo.com. You may find a relaxing & economical alternative to staying in a hotel.
