Dear Walid, I hope that you and your family are doing great. Well, I am so excited to tell you that my wife and I are visiting Italy during the upcoming holidays! Yes, only the 2 of us, it happens to be our 10 years wedding anniversary, and I want it to be a romantic and memorable getaway. So, we will be keeping the kids at their grandparent’s place for 2 weeks. I’ll arrive at Rome International airport on 5 February at 5:55 am, we will surely be exhausted so we will head up to the hotel for a quick nap before initiating our activities. I am planning to stay in Rome for 5 days, so we have enough time to visit The Trevi fountains, the Colosseum, the Vatican, and to do some luxury shopping! Wife orders! Afterwards, we will get the train to Florence, spending 3 days with Maya, as honeymooners. I heard there is a great restaurant overlooking the river, with picturesque scenery, tasty food, and soothing music. Our final destination will be Milan, where you have to accommodate us for 5 days, whether you like it or not! Yet, I have nothing in mind, so I will keep it up to you to suggest the sightseeing to visit. It has been ages since we met each other, so I am really looking forward to seeing you and catching up on the good old times. See you very soon, Warm regards Nibal

Many of the animal species across the world are being driven to extinction by the deforestation,hunting and the climatic changes and as a result government across the globe are allocating more and more funds to preserve and protect animal populations.It is being argued by some people that such spending is unjustified and it could be effectively spent elsewhere, while others think that it is very important for government to spend money on wildlife protection.I am of the opinion that money being spent on wildlife is very important and it has long term benefits.
