My husband and I will be in Florence May 7-11, then the Cinque Terre (with a stop in Pisa to see the tower!) from the evening of the 11-13, then back to Florence for one night before our flight on the 14th. There's isn't a whole lot of time left for me to convince my husband that a trip to the outlet stores will save us money in the long run!

We'll be in Italy April 29-May 14. We're renting a house in Tuscany a little south of Radda with another couple for the two weeks. Our fourth trip to Italia, there second. Can't wait---also looking forward to a different sort of experience since on our other trips we traveled around to various destinations. But no matter how you do it, you simply can not go wrong with Italy---great food, great wine, great people. Now if only the dollar was a little stronger!!!!!!

Finally coming out of lurk mode.....we'll be in Italy May 5 - 16!

Whoop

May 6 - 18th

rome, florence and venice..

Happy to add that my husband and I are also going to be in Italy in 2005...our first trip! We're as excited as a six-year old is on Christmas morning...

Arrive Rome 4/23 and head immediately to Florence (via train) where we've rented a villa for seven days. Planing a side trip to Venice -- would appreciate advise on getting train tickets from Florence to Venice.

Return to Rome for an overnight stay on 4/29. A couple of days in London and then home to Connecticut.

Love this board...I'm positively addicted!!!

All fodorites have been extremely helpful. I wish I had found you sooner.
Next time!

May 25-30. Bella Roma.

In 50 days I will be walking where I used to run..Bella Roma here I come..

We'll be in Italy May 3-17. Milan, then through Tuscany, then finally Rome.

We were going to fly to Milan May 25th -June 8th, spending time in Bellagio, then to Verona, ending up in Monterosso......BUT, on my way to work, fell on my steps and fractured my ankle!! Trip is off, I am so sad....Hotels were comfirmed, but had not booked the air yet, thank the Lord!! Hotels were cancelled. Maybe next year.....

What a Bummer Allyson...I imagine that you must be quite disappointed about missing your trip to sunny Italy...

But there is always tomorrow and I hope that next year you can fulfill your dream.

I will trow a coin in Trevi Fountain for you ..I will be there the end of May.
Ciao,
AnnaMaria

AnnaMaria...Grazie! How very sweet of you!!! I hope that you have a wonderful trip...Enjoy!
