We will be there May 17-29, Rome, Sorrento, Florence, Venice and Bellagio. The two girls have been to Europe but not Italy and the guys have never been to Europe at all. We can't wait!!

DH and I are leaving on May 3rd! for 10 days to Rome, Florence & Venice - our first time!

My wife and I are flying to Rome on the 7th and returning on the 24th. Our only side trips will be to Ostia Antica and Tivoli. This will be my third trip to Rome and her fourth, and we haven't come close to running out of things to do.

DH and I are going to Rome May 12-18,
Florence 18-21 and Venice 21-26! Our first trip to Italy! Anyone overlapping and want to meet for a drink?

Leaving May 3rd too! Can't wait. Ants in the pants and all! We cannot believe our trip is already here.

Flying into Rome on May 27!! Rome, Assisi, Florence (S.G.), Pisa, CT, and Switzerland

We will be in Italy from May 11-26th. First trip to Italy and we are getting very excited!!!!

Will be flying out of the US on May 26th, arriving in Rome on the 27th. My gentleman and I will be there until we fly back to the US on June 3rd.

Second trip to Italy...went in 2001 to Florence and Venice. First time to Rome. Have my confirmation email for the Scavi tour. Otherwise...it's all up in the air as to what we do while there but I'm reading like mad and can't wait.

Wow!! Busy month in Italy! We leave on May 25-June 6th into Venice and home from Rome! I am just reviewing my clothes for the trip now (I know I still have almost 4 weeks-but I am so excited!)

I am so excited because we leave 3 weeks from today. We will be in Venice May 22-24 and CT from 24-27. We haven't been in 11 years, and I can't wait!

All you May travelers have a wonderful trip! I am envious....we don't leave until June 15.

My husband and I will be in Italy from May 12-22: Bologna, Tuscany and Venice.

We were just there in September/October for our honeymoon and are now expecting our first, so we thought we'd better return for one last hurrah before the baby arrives!

Hey, CritterP, We will be in Venice the same time as you are. We will arrive about noon on May 22 and leave for home the morning of May 24.

I'm jealous, jealous, jealous!
We're planning a trip for May 2008 when DS1 graduates from college. So it will have to be the end of May, with the 4 of us.

One question, how do you decide where to go? I'm swamped with choices. I can't possibly do everything I want to in 2 weeks.

I don't want to spend all my time on trains and in airports.
When we spent 2 weeks in Japan last year, we focused on 3 locations and that was about right for us.

This will be the first mainland Europe trip for all of us. So, how did YOU decide?

Posted in the lounge but want to cover all my bases...anyone wish to share last minute checklists? I phoned the CC companies today, made copies of PP and CC...pill boxes filled, ..taking long pants? How many shoes? what else?

me too me too!! may4-13
venice and vienna.

We're leaving on May 17th. Flying to Venice. Spend 4 nights there then renting a car and driving to the Lake Cumo area. We'll fly home from Milan.

Perhaps there should be a get together in Italy!

Meant Lake Como.

We're normally May travellers but had to push back our trip this year. We'll be in Italy for the second week of June. Hope all of you May travellers have a wonderful trip!

Woohoo!! Italy! I'll be in Florence on May 12th (5 days) and in Rome on May 17th (4 days!) and all SOLO :)

Can't wait!

Happy travels and safe trip to all of you!
