now I'm really confused. please help!
 

So my original plan was 3 (full usable, nonflight) days Rome, 4 Florence, 3 Venice, and 2 Rome (c/c r/t requirement for tickets-
still contesting that) with a side trip to Pisa in Florence( 1st trip to Italy, like my husband and I agreed, the Leaning Tower is an absolute, non negotiable) NOW, since reading these boards, investing in Rick Steves Italy 2006, I'm thinking..Sienna, Lucca, San Gimignano, Cinque Terre..as well of course, my original cities. Oh yeah, and let's not forget Sorrento and the Island of Capri! Sooooo..HELP!
We will have 12 full days (I could if I needed to squeeze in a 13th) plus a half day reserved for jet lag and orientation. We plan to travel about by train.
Considering all of the above-What would each of you do??

sorry..I forgot to mention we are planning this trip for May 2006

Please see http://www.fodors.com/forums/threads...p;tid=34496633 - - and heed the advice there... you should re-post this with a message header that gives a clue as to what information you are seeking.

A message header like

"Starting all over from scratch to plan our 12 day Italy itinerary for May 2006 - - too many places; what to squeeze in? what to omit?"

Best wishes,

thanks rex, I'll try that.

You're very welcome.
