Picconi gets an Upgrade!!

Because I was traveling alone, I had to pay a single supplement for not being two people, as normal pricing per person is based on double occupancy.

Trying to keep the costs down, I went ahead and asked for an upper/lower room, which means bunk beds and saved $500 from the cost of a regular stateroom. A regular stateroom sleeps 2.

Mine, as seen here, could sleep at least 4, converting the sofa to a bed.

I would type my notes for my blog, download, resize/reshape pics that I took each day out of my room and sometimes type emails to my family, which I would later go to the Internet Cafe onboard where I utilized their service to send an email and pics from the days ventures.

So, as you can see, I didn't even think I'd have a window and this one was large, plus the bed (Queen) and just the amount of space made me feel like all the heartache I had experienced from my travels and not having my bags the first night in Rome, was something that I'd forget about very soon. Yeah!!
