REVIEW - Can you really call it a week in Rome when you don't actually see Rome?

Just got back from two weeks in Europe ... the first in "Rome", the second in the North of England. 

Trouble was, I managed to lose one night traveling to Italy, the next three nights grabbing an average of 5 hours' sleep, and spent all of that time at a Marriott Conference Hotel or the nasty Holiday Inn at which I was staying. 

Not one glimpse of Rome, not even a spire. And the conference and hotel food were a disgrace to to Italian cuisine.

We're going back to Italy - Tuscany - for vacation in August, so we'll put the food situation right, but still won't see Rome.
