Venice, Italy: No Dragging Tourist Roller Bags Allowed


Visitors to the historic city are not permitted to tote wheeled suitcases along the ancient streets and bridges. According to the Venice City Council, they cause too much damage to the fragile thousand-year-old stones.

So, if Venice is on your bucket list for an upcoming visit, while wandering the historic town, hoist an old-fashioned backpack or fanny bag. Tote only bags that won’t rut the road. Offending tourists could be gigged a fine of more than $600.

Incidentally, the law is somewhat discriminatory. It doesn’t apply to local merchants who daily track through the city with ponderous metal-wheeled carts and other heavy vehicles.

1. Early to bed, early to rise, means you have a 5 am flight.
2. Nothing is certain, except death, taxes and your flight is delayed.
3. Eat to live, and but not live to eat, unless you’re at a Vegas buffet.
4. He that lies down with dogs has been booked into a lousy hotel.
5. To err is human, to forgive divine, except when the cabbie makes you miss your flight.

6. There are no gains without pains, unless you’re in the painfully-narrow middle seat on an international flight.
7. A small leak can sink a great ship, so don’t book your next cruise on the SS Titanic.
8. Never leave that till tomorrow which you can do today, and you aren’t getting any younger. Book that Vegas vacation today!
9. Beer is living proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy, except if the guy sitting next to you in tourist has had too much of it.
10. Nothing but money is sweeter than honey, unless your spouse finds out about your secret honey.
