With several strong recommendations, my business associate and I went to this old town Pizzaria for the real thing, true Italian pizza, in Turin Italy.

After the long airplane ride from Phoenix to Philadelphia, to Rome Italy, and then up to Turin (“Torino”) Italy, it was very nice to find a small neighborhood restaurant (“Trattoria”) within walking distance of the hotel. Before leaving the states, I had used Google Earth to find nearby places and then Google’s search engine to see if there were any reviews or comments by other patrons. The Trattoria della Posta received several reviews, all positive, so it was on my “try this for sure” list.

• In-transit time: 25 hours
  Flights: Phoenix to Philadelphia, to Rome, to Turin Italy
  Seats: Middle, aisle, aisle

I’m the “check pilot” for the instructor that will do the actual teaching this week. My job is to back him up, help in the labs, and at the end, say if he’s able to teach this class on his own. But I know this person’s abilities and have no doubt he will do fine.
