My husband and I will be traveling to Italy Sept 7 to Sept 21. Any other Fodorites there at this time? Perhaps we can meet for a drink or gelato!

I'll be there. Let me know what cities & what dates. Sounds like fun. <BR>Susan

Hubby & I will be arriving in Rome 9/14, Venice bound 9/20, Amalfi coast bound 9/23.

My boyfriend and I arrive in Rome on Sept 2nd and then onto Venice on Sept 6th. <BR> <BR>What is typically the weather like in early-September? I have always seemed to travel to Europe in July.

i'll be there in sept timeframe. let me know where and when.

We arrive in Rome on 9/15 and will be there a week, then we head for Lazio province (north of Rome) for 2 weeks.

I will be there from Sept 14th until the 23rd.

Based on the email I get, and the comments on this forum, clearly half of the civilized western world will be in Tuscany in Sep. Would you believe 3 couples just on my block are going. At that rate I am afraid that Tuscany may sink into the Med. Too many books and too much disposable income---the Tuscans must be loving this !

I'm Italy-bound Sept 6! 2 1/2 weeks. Umbria and Toscana. Would be fun to meet up...

okay here's my itinerary. we are traveling with globus so here's what we have: <BR>sept. 7 leave for rome <BR>sept. 8 arrive rome - probably can meet up around 4. or after 8pm <BR>sept 9 - rome. looks like touring in morning. afternoon good. <BR>sept. 10 - north to pisa. <BR>sept 11 - florence - afternoon free. <BR>sept. 12 & 13 - will be lake maggiore <BR>sept 14 venice - late arrival <BR>sept 15 venice - good in the late afternoon <BR>sept. 16 - assisi - late afternoon good <BR>sept 17 - sorrento - late afternoon good <BR>sept 18 - capri - anytime <BR>sept 19 - 20 rome just about anytime. <BR>some of the hotels: <BR>villa pamphili <BR>majestic <BR>bristol <BR>ambasciatori <BR>s. francesco <BR>casare augusto <BR>villa pamphili <BR>cicerone <BR>i know nothing of any of the hotels. let me know whats good for all of you. we have no idea where to meet. so any suggestions would be appreciated. <BR>

Nutella, <BR> <BR>Looks like we - - the "fall Fodorites' trip to Italy" - - might be able to meet up with you (just barely) during the first few days of our stay. <BR> <BR>Sep 20 - - arrive Milan Linate, train to Florence <BR>Sep 20 and 21 staying in florence <BR>Sep 22 - - leaving Florence (car), headed to Lake Garda, possibly with a morning detour via Siena (yes, I know, not really "on the way") <BR> <BR>For anyone (especially you impulse decision-makers!) - - we would still welcome additional participants - - see www.rexbickers.italy.com for more info. <BR> <BR>Best wishes, <BR> <BR>Rex <BR> <BR>

We will in Amalfi for 3 days in Sep if anyone cares---anybody else ?

We'll be in Rome Sept. 18, an 19. Would love to meet for a drink . Possibly the Hotel de Russie, it a beautiful place or any other suggestions, we're open..

Looks like I will be in Florence same time as you, Fodorites, Sept 19-22! For anyone else, I will be travelling around Umbria Sept 7-14, then to Southern Tuscany Sept 15-19.

I won't be there--and THAT'S the problem! Is the whole world (with the exception of me) going to Italy this year? Boy, do *I* feel left out! That's OK. Next year we return to Italy. This year we have Spain--so it can't be all bad, can it? But I'll be thinking of you enjoying glasses of wine together in a sidewalk cafe! Have a ball.

Rex-- instead of detouring to Siena, you might try to talk your gang into stopping in Mantova/Mantua on the way to Lake Garda -- it is more on the way and really a cool little city.

Topping for Ro..

We'll be there 9/8 - 9/20 via Collette tour. What's the weather supposed to be like, esp. humidity?

Anyone have any suggestions on which town to stay in on the Italian Riviera - Portofino is booked. Any other suggestions?

We will be in Italy for a week mid September- Any idea what the weather will be like, ie. more summer or more autumn like? <BR> <BR>asclefko, we're staying in Monterosso at Pasquale's in the Cinque Terre region, not too far from Portofino I believe. The family also runs the Villa Steno. You might want to check out their website, at pasini.com to see if you're interested and they have any availability. <BR> <BR>
