i really love italy. several times i have been in europe on business and decided to go to italy alone. i have had a terrific time. and when you want companionship it is easy to find, especially during the summer.

a few years ago i rented a villa in tuscany for 2 months. about a week before i was scheduled to leave i broke up with my girlfriend who was going with me. i went alone. i spent a lot of time in the area around the villa, but i also drove places for a few days at a time. i had a great time. i met a lot of interesting people, a few who i still have contact with. additionally, i "spent time" with several different woman while i was there. if i had the free time (and no girlfriend) i would love to do it again.
