Hi MollyJones,

I requested the Scavi tour on 10/28/05 by sending an e-mail to [email protected], and received the auto-reply within 5 minutes, and the confirmation for the tickets on 11/5/05. After reading all the horror stories on this forum about people trying to get tickets, I was a little nervous, but I had no problems at all. Most likely due to travelling in the off-season. I can imagine it's much more difficult to get them in the summer!

Thanks all for the comments on my photos. I love to take pictures (though work tends to get in the way of that most of the time!) and am trying to learn more about it and take better pictures

Greatly enjoyed your trip report, especially the Rome parts as we hope to go there next. Beautiful pictures.

Thanks for a great report! I am going to Rome and Florence for the first time in Feb'06 and so was interested in how the weather was for you. Like you, I have gotten some great ideas from this forum and yours added to the wealth of information. Thanks again!

P.S. - I loved your pictures!

Loved your report and photos.

Your pictures are beautiful. You needed more pictures where you both were in it, but the clarity of the pics is wonderful.

Great pictures .... At some sites, like Trevi and the Colosseum / Forum, it looked like you had the entire area to yourselves.

I'll be sure to refer back to this post before my next visit.

This was a treat. Thank you.

Thanks again for the replies.

DonnieD - at many of the sites, it did feel like we almost had it to ourselves! This really was a great time to go - we didn't encounter lines anywhere, and we didn't find any of the sites to be crowded. I've talked to people who've gone around the Christmas/New Year's time, and they said it was much more crowded.

Wow...your pictures make me want to move my trip up a few months. I know it's a silly question to ask, but how cold was it as compared to the weather in your neck of the woods? I'm guessing you're from CT...if so, I'm across the border from ya.

Dear tmac ct,

I loved your detailed posting and pictures! I felt like I was there! My husband and I are planning an Italy trip in 06 and will definitely refer back for tips and recommendations.

Thanks for sharing.
