ITALY FOR A MONTH
 
Am in early stages of planning a trip to Italy -- while length of stay and time of year open, am contemplating a month leaving EOM April visiting Florence/Tuscany/Naples/Amalfi Coast, then perhaps off to Malta for several days
Questions:
Stay in Florence or Siena?
2 bases, or 1 in Tuscany? and, if so, where?
train Florence/Naples?
How long/ where Naples/Amalfi Coast?
All suggestions most gratefully appreciated.
Thanks!
TopDogJoan

Ahhh, now you're posting in the right place! Welcome to the <i>Europe</i> board!

Your next lesson is to learn to use the search box: Look at the top of the page to find the &quot;search this forum&quot; box. You can do a search here for every message that's ever been posted on any subject you choose. So for starters, I'd suggest that you type &lt;Bob the Navigator&gt; (without the little arrow thingies) into the search box and all his posts will appear on the left-hand side of your screen. Spend time reading his posts. Bob's one of our resident Italy experts and his advice is molto excellent. Reading these posts will show you the &quot;big picture,&quot; then you can come back to ask specific questions. You'll find lots of Italophiles here on this board!

Welcome TopDogJoan. I also find that doing a search for various trip reports and reading them gives me a lot of ideas for my own travels.

Grazie Betsy ! Your check is in the mail. Then Joan, after reading the archives here, go over to slowtrav.com and spend another 2 hours in the planning section and trip reports. Stay big picture for now:
When, how long, how much, transport mode ????

Grazie back to you Bob! How about stock options instead? :-)

Hmmm ! Stock options--never thought of that. Alas, my life has become simple. I have been having a small bit of limoncello on my sherbert after dinner. That is my tip for the day.
