Are you sure that convent in Venice isn't like a "nunnery" as Shakespeare used it in Hamlet? ???
Actually, that does sound like it could be kind of a neat place to stay. :)

Are you saying I should "get thee to a nunnery"? >:( ;)
If their god can't protect them from me, I can't say much for their god's protection. ;D ;) :laugh:
I find monasteries and convents romantic. And they are reputed - by people who have been to Italy - to be clean and safe. Not that much cheaper than a cheap hotel mind, but a step up from a hostel and you get some ambiance unlike some local hotels which look horrible cheesy low-end modern.

I was trying to suggest that you might want to avoid one. ;D ;)

Two words: Collateral damage. ;D

One would hope they would be clean and safe. Seriously, do you get breakfast, too? Like, even, coffee and a pastry, or sumpin'?

I'm so incredibly terrified of flying, I always feel like I've signed my own death warrant when I book a flight for myself. If I change seats, I'm instantly worried that I might have gone from a plane crash survivor seat to a dead one. I've been unable to sleep well for days making these plans.

You are so bad! I'd be measuring myself for a lightning rod if I were you. :laugh:

Yep, a bed and breakfast in a convent and monastery.

Me, too. I expect to be heavily drugged throughout the flight. It's an awful conjunction of loving to travel, but being terrified of flying. It makes each trip a combination of hell and heaven.

Seriously, I wish there were something I could say to help. I'm not fond of the experience myself, but I mostly just try to focus on where I'm going, not how I'm getting there. But it sounds like you're aversion is a lot stronger than mine. :(

I used to be terrified of flying, but as I got older, I became more philosophical about risking my life in a plane. That helps. That, and Xanax. :)
