A single night in Rome is far too short of a stay in such a grand city as Rome, Italy. When visiting Rome, you should stay an entire week, two weeks, a month - or longer if you can. This Italian city has enough history, architecture, music, entertainment, night life, drama and excitement to last anyone longer than a lifetime. I've had two vacation trips to Rome. The first trip was for a little over a week. The second trip - the one I am writing about here - was only for one night, but even one night in Rome is memorable enough to add to your journal.

Christmas Day (12/25/2016), we flew Delta from Montgomery, Alabama (MGM) to Atlanta, Georgia (ATL) and then across the Atlantic to Rome, Italy (FCO). We were only in Italy for one week and flew back to the United States on January 1st (01/01/2017) with a pretty rough ending,
