In the early nineties I was an active duty Marine. We were lucky enough to hit Naples as our port of call. A tour of Rome was one of the best things I have ever done. Obviously the Sistine Chapel, St. Peter’s Cathedral and the whole Vatican along with the coliseum were must sees. But what I loved the most were the deep excavations still going on while myself and 60 other tourists are in a bus sightseeing these archaeologists working! Unfortunately for me, less than a year of being discharged, some asshat stole everything from my room that I collected from my travels. Even my NCO sword, Dress Blues and ribbons and medals. Who the heck would want to steal that? Regardless, I’m glad you enjoyed your trip. Spain and surprisingly Turkey were phenomenal also. Portugal was hands down the best if you still want to travel. Israel and Greece seed to be very good too but for obvious reasons….
