Wanting to set up May 2006 Italy Fodorite get togther(s)!

Greetings fodorites! I know this is a bit early and will plan to bump this posting to the top throughout the next several months.

I noticed several people will be in Italy in May, as well as in the same cities as me: Florence and Bologna.

I would love to set up some fodorite get togethers while in Italy. Please let me know if you are interested! I'll be in Florence the 12th for 4 nights, Bologna for 6 nights (16th...) and Venice 4 nights (22nd...). We could meet for drinks and/or dinner. I'm flexible.

I hope to here from you!

Monica

Wish I could join you, Monica. Will have to settle for a GTG in March in DC.

Sorry Sherry that you can't make it. I wish! See you in March.

I have two people available to get together in Florence with me, tentatively for the 13th (the 14th is another possibility).

Hi MOnica. Maybe it is too early for a lot of people to plan.

Keep this to the top.

I noticed on one posting, "Italy! Who's going in 2006 and when?" that there are several people going to Italy in May. Thought I'd top this and hope those going in May will read this.

Monica

PS: My dates of travel were moved back by one day, so I'll be in Florence on the 11th; Bologna the 15th, Venice the 21st - same number of nights as my original message.

Hi Monica!
Too bad my timing doesn't coincide with yours but I do plan to go to GTG in Bethesda. I'm flying to Rome March 22 to meet my daughter who is studying in Rome until May. We will go to Siena, Cinque Terre, and Venice. I cannot wait.

We're getting married in Positano on April 28, and touring around Siena, Florence and Venice until May 10. We'll be in honeymoon mode, but maybe a lunch or drinks would be nice one day. It's our first time.

wonderbar8, I'll be arriving in Florence on May 11th. Looks like your last day in Italy is the 10th. Sorry to be missing you.

I’m planning a May trip to Italy, probably to Venice, Florence, and Rome, with side trips. I haven’t come close to pinning down anything, but the prospect of getting together with other Fodorites for dinner and/or drinks is inviting. I’ll contact you, and perhaps you can keep me updated about who will be where and when. Does that sound reasonable?

Wanderful, yes, I'll be keeping track of who will show up for the get together(s). I hope I can meet others in Bologna and Venice, not just Florence. Email me directly mjpileggi @adelphia.net to keep in touch.

Hey Monica it's me...Julie. My friend Betsy and I met up with you and your cousin in Venice (2001?!?). As it happens, I will be in Italy in May but my itinerary is based on Rome (May 11-20) - will be doing some day trips, but I plan to stay in Rome for duration at this point. I'm sure as we get closer to May you'll get more responses re: the rest of your trip. Hope all is well with you and Reenie. Until later...

Monica - We'll be in Italy May 18-29, but it looks like the only date that ours may meet up with yours is the eve of the 26th in Venice (if I understand your itinerary correctly). Not sure though because we'll be coming in late from Bologna, but I'll keep checking.
Our schedule is Rome 19-23, Florence 23-26, Venice 26-29, Paris 29-1.

Hi Julie! Glad to hear from you. Send me an email so we can correspond...unless the one I have is still current. Reenie is fine and keeps asking me "When can we go to China?" Not yet. Enjoy your Rome trip!

hipvirgochick, I fly home the 25th. Will have 4 nights in Venice starting on the 21st. Looks like we'll miss each other.

Hi Monica

We'll be in Venice starting the 25th of May. Would have enjoyed meeting up with everyone. We will be in Verona around the 23rd-24th.

Hi Jan,

That's too bad. Maybe you'll meet other fodorites on your trip.

We'll be in Northern Italy mid May to early June and would love to get together with any Fodorites:

5/19-22 Lake Maggiore (Isola dei Pescatori)
5/22-25 Lake Como (Varenna)
5/25-28 Lake Garda and Verona (Torri del Benaco)
5/28-31 Dolomites (Ortisei)
5/30-6/4 Venice (Ca'Amadi)
6/4-6/6 Milan (Antica Locanda Leonardo)

Hope to see some of you in the spring,

Margret and Larry
