At some point deep in our trip, Carol suggested we start doing some research on the places we’re heading to. Maybe it was blindly stumbling upon that wonderful marina with all those grand yachts in La Spezia. Or the wonderful view of a far more attractive Naples from atop the Sant’Elmo Castle that Carol had read about in Tripadvisor that we’d have missed entirely based on my itinerary (which had consisted of walking around aimlessly amidst the Neapolitan garbage and graffiti.)
