"While visiting the world famous sites in Italy and eating gelato on the cobblestone streets, don't forget to tell your friends in the US how fascinating and beautiful Italy is. Be sure you have a working phone line. In case you are using prepaid phones, you have to be certain you have sufficient credit.
