who's going to Italy in 2005 may..?
 

I noticed there was a post at the top of the list from the may that already happened this year, so I thought I'd start a new board for this COMING may...or even April and June. Just how about all the spring months! haha..I'll be there March 17th- June 8th...what about YOU?

We are! May 2-14.

And I'm addicted to this board - everyone's already been so helpful.

June 2005 :)

June 10-13: Rome
June 14-18: S. Tuscany (Chiusi/Montebenichi)
June 19-25: N. Tuscany (Villa NE of Florence)
June 26-28: Rapallo
June 29-30: Como
July 1-4: Venice

July 5: home to Portland, OR

Woohoo!

We will!
May 14-25 :-)
I know the Amalfi Coast is on the itinerary this time.

We're there! June 8-21.

Two nights in Capri, seven nights in Positano, and three nights in Naples.

If only it wasn't seven months away...

In Sicily 19 May - 3 June, then home to Salem, Oregon.

Yes--yes !
Sicily for 15 days--to include Taormina, Siracusa, Agrigento, Palermo, and more. We leave 27 April.

We usually travel in May -- this year we have no plans YET. I'm sort of thinking Bali and Singapore and Thailand...but we LOVE Italy, and if a "good deal" suddenly appeared, I think we'd grab it. SO maybe we'll be there this year :)

May 29th till June 11th Italy, then Villefranche Sur Mer, Provence and Paris..
June 25th Au Revoir Europe, Howdy Texas..

We are...details not finalized yet, but so far plan is
May 5-8--(Seattle)--Amsterdam
May 8-15--Venice
May 15-18--Siena
May 18-25--Spain
May 26--Amsterdam--Seattle

Just talked to friends in Italy this evening (early morning their time). I will be going to Italy next May/June.
Can hardly wait!

Sometime April-May. As part of a two month travel until I run out of money.

Maybe three weeks. Going el-budgeto.

ok, ok, I know I shouldn't be posting on this thread, but couldn't resist the gloat ... I leave in 19 hrs !!
Seriously though, I had so much fun planning that I'm a little afraid that the trip itself will be an anticlimax. God! it better not be.
@};-

^^awesome! Have a GREAT time! And be sure to give us a trip report back, okay?
artlover~ Thailand is beautiful in the April/May months, I was there a couple years ago then. Just gorgeous!
...I know, it is a little hard that we all do have to wait 6 and 7 months more until we go, aw well! waiting is part of the fun :D

Oops, my comment wasn't to artlover, it was to uhoh_busted, sorry. haha...
but I AM from Seattle too...it's quite a long ways for us :D

Well, here's hoping I'm there 3/17 - 24. Short trip all the way from Seattle, but who cares as long I get to spend more time in Rome!

I will be in Barcelona on the 26th where we then pick up our cruise on May 28th and will be in Rome, Naples and Florence. Back home on the 4th of June.

I'll be there, for about 10 days, in mid April. For sure, Orvieto and Rome, but not sure of the other locales.

We fly to Rome on May 28-29 and return home on about June 9 (don't have the date handy). We have an apartment booked for a week in Montepulciano, but we haven't filled out the remainder of the trip, except that we will spend the first night and the last night in Rome.

hey jd-dallas,which airline are you taking ?I am flying to Rome the same day with AA..

We are going for 8 days in late May! 5 days in Venice and 3 days in Milan! I can't wait!!

May 23rd out of Tx, 1 week Rome, 1 week Ireland, 1 week Switzerland. First Time to Rome and Ireland. I'm having a great time reading history of Rome and anticipating historic sites.

We hope to there from May 30 - June10 on our honeymoon, but yet to find decent airfare from Charlotte, NC to Rome - hopefully we will soon!

We have a house rented near Lucca starting April 16 for a week.

Bringing Mom (who has survived brush with Cancer) to the Vatican, along with my Niece. After having read "A Thousand Days in Venice", I want a picture of the three generations coming over a venetion bridge in complementary outfits. :-]

We leave April 30 (AA frequent flyer miles) into Rome departing from Milan on May 8. Tuscany & Bellagio this trip...I plan and mull over it daily!

Thats great DAJ, your Mom is going to love Rome..Do you have a general audience with the Pope?

You gave me an excellent idea about taking a picture on the bridge in Venice.
I am going to Venice with my daughter and Brooke, my 12 years grandaughter..3 generations also..

wow...everybody's vacations sound AWESOME!
sbp17~you're so lucky you live there. What city?

We've penciled in a week in Rome, a week in Florence, then a week in Switzerland, probably in mid-May.

I have been planning a trip to Italy to take my two college age nieces who have never been out of the US. About a month ago, my aunt and her daughter decided to join us. So, DAJ, we will be three generations too - 5 women from age 19 to 72. Cannot wait.
We have the beginning of a plan, thanks to all your good advice, and are now looking for reasonable airfare from Boston.
Our plan, taking the train in between cities:
Rome, June 6-10, Hotel Santa Maria.
Florence, June 10-15, Residenza Il Villino.
Venice, June 15-19, La Calcina.
Any further advice is always appreciated. Thank you.
