Due to G.W.'s war plans, my flight to Rome on March 13 was changed...G.W. needed all the N.W. airlines planes to fly troops apparently. Anyway, that gives me 8 nights in Rome instead of the planned 7. Is this way too many?

Nope. We spent 9 days there in October. Still not enough time.

If it is important for you to travel on March 12, you may ask if Northwest Airlines will book you on a KLM flight to Amsterdam and then to North America.

We spent 2 weeks in Rome last year and that wasnt enough. Plenty of sights to see -just wander and enjoy.<BR>Isobel

And if, for some reason, you do decide you want to see something else, there are several good, easy day trips from Rome; e.g., Ostia Antica and Tivoli (Hadrian's Villa).

Way too many?? <BR><BR>For Rome ... 'non basta una vita!'

I may be in the minority here but I think 8 days in Rome only are too many. We were there for 5 days and I was ready to move on. I think the suggestions of seeing the surrounding area are good ones. Don't get me wrong, I loved Rome and plan to go back next year but 8 days all at once seems a little long.
