Our trip is coming up soon, but not soon enough! Thought I would check again to see if any fellow travelers out there would like to meet for drinks, lunch, dinner. Here's our itinerary: <BR> <BR>May 12 - Milan <BR>May 13 & 14 - Lago Maggiore <BR>May 15, 16, 17, 18 - Chianti <BR>May 19, 20, 21 - Orvieto <BR>May 22, 23, 24 - Santa Margherita Ligure/CT <BR>May 25, 26 - Milan <BR>May 27, 28, 29, 30 - Venice <BR> <BR>All are welcome!

we wil be in Italy in May but our cities and towns dont coincide with yours, <BR> <BR>We are interested in Stresa on Lake Maggiore.... <BR> <BR>Where are you staying,?? <BR>Thanks <BR> <BR>thanks <BR>Dick <BR> <BR>

We're staying at the Hotel Verbano on Iseo dei Pescadores (SP?). It's not cheap (250,000L double), but we thought the location would be worth it.

Dayle, <BR> <BR>We considered the Verbano(because of the listing in KAren Brown's Guide)...I'll be curious to know how you liked it. <BR> <BR>We will be staying at the La Palma in Stresa when you are in Margherita Ligure.

I arrive in Venice 5/30 a.m. How long are you in Venice on 5/30?

All day! I've been to Venice once before, so this time I would like to see some villas, museums, and Murano and Burano. Write back if you would like to get together.... <BR>

Hi Dayle, <BR> <BR>I like your itinerary. I get into Milan exactly a week before you so I think I will be in your cities a few days earlier than you get there. I don't quite have an itinerary though I do plan to hit certain spots along the way. One of them is Orvieto. Though chances may be slim in terms of timing, tell me where you'll be staying anyways. If I'm there around the 20th, I'll visit you guys. <BR> <BR>-Shahram

This will be my first time to Venice. I am tied up in the morning with an orientation tour. Possibly we could meet after that. Either lunch, drinks or dinner.

<BR>We will also be in Venice. Rhonda, what orientation tour are you taking?

It's actually a tour provided as the conclusion of an ExperiencePlus! walking tour that I will be taking through the Tuscany area.

How about if I make dinner reservations for Da Ivo restaurant (recommended by others here) the night of the 30th. Everyone who's interested let me know to count you in! We're at the Hotel Palazzo Piccolomini in Orvieto. My understanding is it's not a very big place, so it should be easy to meet. While in Orvieto, we're planning on seeing the town, Cita di Bagnoreggio and perhaps Todi. All are welcome to join...

You can count me in. How will I know you in this restaurant?

I'll have a navy blue cardigan sweater on and I'll probably be the only woman alone! Anybody else, join in! I'll confirm with you Rhonda, before I leave for Italy on May 11.

Sounds like a plan. Feel free to send me an e-mail to confirm. I will be wearing a black cardigan and will be the only other woman alone.

Great Rhonda! I'll be at the Albergo Paganelli near Piazza San Marco. Let me know where you are staying and we'll plan from there....

I will be staying at the Pensione Wildner. About a five minute walk from Piazza San Marco.
