Leaving on May 3 - 2 nights in Rome at De Russie and 3 nights @ Lungarno in Florence. Then Wind Surf from 9-16, Rome - Nice. Anyone else on the cruise?

Maybe someone should take the lead here and see if a May Italy GTG would be possible. Define a date and place and see who responds.

We are off to Sicily in mid-May. This will be my third trip to Italy, but my first to Sicily. We will have 10 days to explore!!!

nina

We are leaving on May 21-May 31st. We'll be visiting Rome, Amalfi coast and Tuscany. We just booked this so I'm scrambling for reservations!

GARYNFLA

Monica I sure wish we could cross paths again but our trip is in a different direction although about the same time. It would be a real treat to see you and your Mom again.
Anyone interested in a meet and greet get together with fellow fodorites May 16-21 in Positano or Sorrento please let let me know..

Lolo

Does it count if I am leaving on the 29th of April? I guess so.
Will be in Bologna for 3 days, then drive up to Verona (thru Modena for their vinegar!!) then on to Lake Garda and Lake Como.
This will be my 5th time to Bella Italia but my 1st in this area. Can't wait!!!

Will be in Venice (only) from May 20-26. I had the pleasure of meeting up with Monica in November 2001 with my friend Betsy for dinner. On this trip will be with friends who have never been to Venice and my mother will be joining us at some point (her second time). Monica: Betsy said to say hi! Sounds like you have a great trip lined up.

Hi Gary, my friend and I have a place in Amalfi and are thinking of hosting a party this year. How could we get in touch with you if it pans out?

monicapileggi

Hi Julie! How are you? Hope you have been well. So, heading back to Venice, that?s wonderful. Have a great time. I?ll always keep Venice in my heart. Too bad I can?t squeeze a few nights in my trip, but Tuscany will be wonderful as well. Give my regards to Betsy too.

Hi Gary, I?m sure we can meet up someday. You?re not too far from my Mom?s if I remember correctly. Maybe the next time I get to Florida we?ll have you both up for dinner.

There are some great itineraries planned for May! I?d love to vacation for 30 days.

Yes, Lolo, your timing counts since it falls into May. 8-)

Ciao!
Monica

Natalie, you can e-mail me at [email protected]. I will have access to e-mail the entire time we are away.I am traveling with 6 in our group and are so excited for this trip.

Monica, It would be great to meet when you are back in South Florida. I am just finishing a great French cooking class and will gladly bring a couple of dishes or even host it in my home here in Fort Lauderdale. Perhaps I could do a Scallop appetizer..LOL

Natalia

It would be fun if any of you Fodorites would like to join up too, it looks like our apartment has the whole rooftop as a patio, if it is true we could have a Fodorite Bash there.

Gary, I'll let you know whats up by email then while we are there!

monicapileggi

LOL!!! Gary, I hope you'll serve me at least 3!

GARYNFLA

Monica it would be a pleasure..

Natalie, we could also have a poolside party cocktail/wine party at our place. We are right outside of Sorrento in a very private property called Villa Le Cikas.

Lesli

I'll be traveling from Florence to Venice via Bologna and Verona for a couple of weeks starting May 2.

Should really have been spending more time on my Italian, but am traying to make up for it now!

grosenb

Me too!!!! Leaving on the 18th, spending three days in Venice, 6-day walking tour of the Lakes Region and 2 days in Milan.

Haven't left for my trip this year and I am already planning my trip for next year. Sicily here I come!
