Europe Travel Notes

Ever get tired of reading your latest travel news off a monitor screen? Well, Robert "Bob" Zanotti has applied his pear shaped tones to on demand podcasts about travel within Switzerland, and they're darn good. Check out Switzerland in Sound.

Slowing down can really make a difference--ten cities in a week is way too much, even though it sounds "doable." In any case, if you're looking for a vacation rental around Cortona, Italy, you might want to check out Respite Italia. Your rental could help provide respite for cancer sufferers some time in the future. Read more about the program at Italy for Visitors.
