Just reading different threads, it is amazing how many Fodorites are going to Italy in May! I'll be there mid-May, myself, and cannot wait.

Just thought it would be fun to see everyone on one thread...so who else is going??

I'll be there the first two weeks of May! I'm flying into Rome, spending just one day there, 7 days in Florence and 3 in Venice. There will be a side trip to Siena, Fiesole, and perhaps Padua. This is my first trip to Italy and a solo trip at that! After reading a few Italy posts, I already know I'll be returning and spending more time in Rome and exploring the other wonderful regions of the country. This is my Introduction to Italy trip!

Buon giorno! I'm going to Italy, too. Leaving May 19. Will be following my son's college choir on their performance tour. We'll be based in Florence for a week with side trips to Pisa, Lucca, Siena, Prato, then one night in Verona (with tickets to the Teatro Filarmonico to hear an orchestra & local choir), then to Venice for 3 nights, then to Rome for 4 full days. Our first trip to Italy, too. We'll have to share reports when we return. Have fun!

Flyin Rome 3 day trips(21 hour layover) on May 23rd and May 29th-remember..........I will be watching you on the plane!

My fiance and I will be in Italy May 13-20. We can't wait either...he's never been and I haven't been back since I was 16.

I will be in Italy from May 21 to June 6: Venice, Lake Como, Florence, Cinque Terre, Tuscany and Rome. My first time and I can't wait!!!

US AIR starts direct flights from Philly to Venice mid May thru October, so we are going to Venice May 15 for 6 nights. My 4th trip to Italy. We were in Venice in 2005 for 2 nights on a 15 day trip and just had to get back there.
