Time to wrap this up.  Ms. Packratty will continue to post on http://a-packrats-progress.blogspot.com/ and retire this blog.  Her next trip is probably going to be rafting in the Grand Canyon in 2013, along with a return to Italy in December 2014, when she hopes to spend a few days in Firenze and then a week in Rome - hopefully back at Via Urbana centi venti tre.
