I've been thinking the same thing. I think I will no longer be CL president next year and I was thinking a month in Italy within the next five years would be quite marvellous. Vespa, Casa Lambretta, Ducati, Moto Guzzi, and I hear the food's not bad either!
I have a friend living in Rome, she and her family have graciously extended an open invitation to me and a couple friends to come stay anytime. They are truly happy having visitors, and have treated me very well in the past. I'm entertaining going this fall-hell, I entertain going all the time. Something to think about......By the way, great link John.
