Where'd you go? I have only travelled to Europe vicariously through his programs, but I've often thought that if I was to go, I'd do one of his tours.

I have a friend who went to Italy on a senior tour and she said it was awful because it was a bunch of older women and all they wanted to do was shop for gew gaws and trinkets for their grandkids and stop at every gelato place they saw. Not my sort of travel.
