What would you do if you were planning an exciting trip, but the weather forecast was looming with threats of rain and clouds? Would you throw your hands up and mope around in museums, shopping malls, and your hotel? Or, would you be ready to take on the elements and enjoy yourself anyway?
On a trip, I encountered torrential rain storms twice in one day while strolling down the lovely streets of Rome and Vatican City. Although I had seen the forecast, my colleague and I were determined not to let the rain get in the way of a good time. Despite getting completely soaked from head to toe, this experience brought to light a few important tips when dealing with challenging weather and also allowed me to see the positive side of sightseeing in the rain.
