*The Italian is for Meg, who once greatly amused a hostel desk clerk in Siena by requesting a reservation for six personaggi/characters(/personages) instead of six persone/people(/persons). Of course, the group traveling was made up of me, Meg, Brooke, Abi, Kemp, and Jonah; personaggi is perhaps the more apt of the two options.
