    @christinegreywolf Před rokem +1

    FYI - It's probably too late but remove the painted canvas from the wood stretcher bars and roll them up. You can restretch them onto new wood back home. You can even do that with the prints you were looking at. Museums did that kind of thing often for storage and travel. It's worth repeating but you should always travel with clothes you are okay with leaving and fill up your suitcase with collectibles.

    What you called a bathrobe is actually a lady’s peignoir, which is a lightweight dressing gown meant to be worn over a matching nightgown. Were the amethyst stones in the necklace cold to the touch? If not, they’re probably acrylic. You can always put small breakables inside socks to help cushion them in your suitcase. Be sure to keep the matting and backing with the art when you take them out of the frames so that you’ll have it to keep the pieces from creasing in your suitcase. I know you’re home now, but just suggestions for future trips.

    Buy the print! Take the frame apart, put in a poster holder, roll up the print, and have reframed and new glass when you get home. Buy more suitcases! I bring two, one nested inside anotherand a backpack. I can check two bags, use the backpack full also as my carryon. Lol.

    Jeffrey, it’s kinda bothering me that you don’t at least try a few words in Italian. It is always polite (in any European country) to say hello when you enter - Buongiorno. Ask the cost quanto costa. And say thank you Gratzi. It’s just being polite to your host country, Otherwise, I am enjoying the trip with you!!

    It's been great to watch you on your Italian journey, Jeffrey! You've gotten used to using "Euro" (rather than dollar, although the exchange rate makes them almost equal). I don't envy your difficulty in making such tough decisions, based on your luggage limitations vs. some incredible and affordable finds! Did you look into the prices of shipping/courier services to the US? I have done something similar in the past, when the deals were just too good.
