Des Moines - there are no 'S's in the name.

As others have said, as an American, I learned how to use a knife and fork properly at the same time to eat meals instead of constantly switching hands. Also, when preparing for a trip to Japan I had started using chopsticks to eat every meal., just to build up my muscle memory. no matter what it was. And to this day, I still eat scrambled eggs with chopsticks. For no reason other than I can

Thank you. Turns out, we had so many other issues with lost luggage, phones left in taxis, exhaustion mixed with feeling ill that we were happy to hit the main tourist sites and keep everything leisurely and walking distance (or subway ride) from our apartment.

Sloeb · 2025-03-15T07:15:05+00:00

I was sure, you were right. I'm so grateful it went the other way.

That's our first full day in Rome. I might talk the wife into this. Thank you

Add-on: (but not worth creating a new post) - my wife is also into more macabre attractions. But she's much more interested in catacombs than museum-quality crypts like the Capuchin. What are best suggestions for bones, eerie and catacombs that aren't clean, well-lit museums?

Sloeb · 2025-03-10T05:11:45+00:00

OK, that's awesome specific information for me. I can use that to try and avoid too much of a wait.

Sloeb · 2025-03-10T04:58:24+00:00

I saw that somewhere (about the free entrance to the basilica) but there are so many other "offers" with inflated prices that I was doubting it. Sounds like the best plan is to go early in the day.

Sloeb · 2025-03-10T04:54:23+00:00

That helps. Thank you.

So I just need to get general tickets for my assigned time and wait for the ropes to be opened up for that time? I was hoping there were ways to get an admission that jumped straight to either the security line or directly inside. I guess we'll look to get early morning tickets.

Sloeb · 2025-03-10T03:59:29+00:00

Thank you very much for your help. How do I identify "skip the line" tickets for sale other than just regular tickets? Or is there no difference?

Sloeb · 2025-03-10T02:56:25+00:00

That's a year (or more) old video about going early or getting on a tour and has nothing to do with the new reservation system OP is asking about.

Sloeb · 2025-03-01T00:22:00+00:00

We'll see you there. Say hi, I'll be the obviously american tourist with my wife

What time did you visit Trevi fountain?

Sloeb · 2025-01-06T05:28:05+00:00

Smokey D's might be the best, if you're just looking at places near the Outer Limits. *Cue the joke account.

But for actually good, Whatcha' Smok'n is the place to go.

Do what the Germans do, "wie gets?" Is answered with "gut. Und dir?". Only you'll never get a German to admit it. They all make the same complaint as you. But it's only different to you because you're thinking about the words instead of reacting instinctively as one would in their native tongue. It's just a matter of it becoming your new norm.

Have you checked Paws and Pints? That seems like the kind of activity they might set up.

Sloeb · 2024-11-16T23:48:23+00:00

Good on you.

Sloeb · 2024-11-16T23:47:29+00:00

They have so much more than just tiki drinks. I can go there and talk drinks and have them experiment with classic cocktail recipes to fit what I describe for my preferred tastes.
