Paris, Rome, Florence, Venice and possible London visit
 
Traveling in December to the above mentioned places. Need help figuring where to fly into from Florida.
Would it be best to fly into Rome or Paris. Paris is in the center of London and Italy so I dont want to waste trips back and forth.
Can i get some suggestions where to start and how to get to each place the most economical way. Im thinking of staying at a place called Mr. Rome in Rome (a hostel) I guess and then in Paris of which I'm quite familiar with.
Need help with the mapping and what trains etc would be best, budget wise to use. Thanks

Fly open jaw, start in the north (London) and work your way south (Fly out of Rome)

Look at cheap airlines as well as trains to get around. Paris to Venice is an easy flight, rest trains.

I wish you'd have told us where you want to fly out of in Florida. It sounds as if you're planning a budget/frugal trip.
You can get to Gatwick inexpensively from both Ft. Lauderdale (Norwegian Long Haul) and Orlando (Virgin Atlantic).
Another option would be fly from Orlando on Aer Lingus and catch RyanAir cheap to other points in the U.K. and Europe.
Most travelers take the Eurostar train between London and Paris.
I'd suggest flying from Paris to Venice cheap on EasyJet.com.
Then take a fast train to Florence--reservations required.
Florence to Rome is another fast train trip.
Rome is the preferred place to fly to the U.S. from.
