6 people traveling to Italy (2) to get married in June. Is it a good idea to buy tickets now or should we wait to see if ticket prices will come down?...
Im going there in early March and i wonder if there are sales or perhaps special clothing shops not so familiar to tourists.Also non tourist restaurants....
Don't carry a bag and try to look as much like a local as possible.
When I'm in a new country I always keep my wallet in my front pocket and never carry to much cash, passport or any other important documents. I always carry copies of the passpot and other documents.

they do have some tricks...one thing alot of seamen do is put thier wallet in thier front pocket..then when a group of gypsy children ect approach just put your hand over that pocket and keep walking...one of the tricks the kids used to use was they would be patting you...so you got three four or more kids touching you .. trying to pull away..by the time you are out of the group...wallet would be gone..unless it was in front pocket hand over it..ok then peace..dont ever where a fanny pack there either...both shipmates that I saw leave the ship with one , got it snatched....course I got an opinion on fanny packs but this is not the place....peace
