Whether you are in the USA, Italy or traveling the world, you MUST exercise the same care about your food and your dietary requirements in a foreign country as you would at home. What complicates this situation while traveling abroad is not only the language differences but also the preparation and the handling of the food you will eat.

When trying to find an apartment or vacation accommodations in Rome, it's best to ask around from friends, colleagues at work, etc. for recommendations. I have listed a few above that I have found on the web. The same goes for restaurants.

Where does one start? There are hundreds of guide books and/or web sites where you can choose which one you like that provides the information on Rome for your style and type of travel. It's a pick and choose thing. Some portions of books and/or web sites may have information that you are interested in for this trip and you can choose to ignore other information not of interest to you.

HINT: If you own the guide book, take only the portions that you are interested in with you. Tear out the pages you want and leave the rest back at your home/apartment/condo or wherever you live. You do not have to take the whole guide book with you on your travels.

The above is just a sampling of what can be found about, for or on Rome on the Internet. I'll be returning to this blog entry and updating it with new items.
