Decisions decisions, I need some help people. My dad has a travel agent friend who has ties in Italy and he is going to get us tickets to a Juve game. Option 1 - Roma v Juve, and I'll most likely be staying in the same hotel as the juve players and staff. Option 2 - Juve Celtic in the CL. Not going to be in the same hotel but I really would like to be at our stadium for the Champions League atmosphere. Seeing as my dad and sister have never been to Italy, Rome has much more to offer and see compared to Torino IMO. Option 1 or 2?

I think being at Juve-Celtic would be a much, much better experience. 1) You won't be so far from the action as you would at the Olimpico and 2) the Olimpico in Rome is one of the most dangerous places to wear a Juve jersey. Make sure you don't wear it. And 3) You will still be able to spot Juve players at a hotel in Turin.

What about a Rome / Turin-combo? Plan ahead so that you and your father and sister can spend a few days in Rome first, before you then head up to Turin for the Celtic match. Or the opposite, spend a few days in Rome after the Celtic match.

If it's just a very short trip you guys are doing, you probably won't get to see much of Rome anyway, so I'd opt for the Celtic match at Juventus Stadium if that was the case.

Impossible to choose. Depends how long you will stay...

Rome has a such a different vibe to a place like Torino, it depends if your family really wants to see Rome or doesn't mind seeing a different part of Italy in Torino. Personally, I prefer the small(er) towns. But not everyone feels the same way.

Torino and especially Milano have a lot to offer. I would do some sightseeing there and go to Rome another time, when you are not as busy.

Zep III and Houses of the Holy are my two favorite albums by that Zeppelin.
I recently dug out Zep III for the first listen in many years. Maybe it was because I was listening to it while I was driving, but damn if it didn't half put me to sleep at times.

The Zep album with the most "legs" to today that I still listen to regularly has to be Physical Graffiti. By process of elimination, it's probably my favorite.

Speaking of Houses, though -- did you ever see the BBC TV show "Cooking in the Danger Zone"? Hokey name but decent show. The host, Stefan Gates, is one of the asses on the album cover. :D

I :heart: Torino.
