PHIL’S TIP OF THE WEEK

Wherever possible, walk. Use public transport. Do your homework before you go. Ask the same question, repeatedly and especially in Rome, to ensure you don’t get lost. Put it this way: Take the ship to your experience; don’t let the ship take you. While this is my farewell, if you have questions, I’ll continue to be reachable at portsandbows@gmail.com, And finally, I’m dedicating this column to Bob and Nancy Dunn, my cruising comrades who have been so helpful over the years.
