Hi Everyone,

Behaving-badly season seems to have started early in Rome this year, with three visitors from New Zealand getting into trouble.  The trio were stopped Sunday night as they started to wade into the  Trevi Fountain. As they were being escorted away from the area, one of the tourists, a 30-year-old man, broke  free of the police and jumped into the fountain as the authorities gave chase, a spokesperson for Rome’s Capital Police told CNN they were fined the equivalent of $520.-CNN 

If your travel plans include New York City, you may want to visit  New York’s Center for Jewish History.  They are showcasing  a  tour of a  full-scale recreation of the secret annex where Anne Frank hid from the Nazis  in Amsterdam during WWII.  The exhibit was set to end on April 30 but it has been extended until October 31.-CNN

America Airlines has announced that they will begin testing free wifi on a few of their routes to try to assess customer interest.   I’ve got to believe there will be a lot of customer interest.-Travel Weekly
