The Honeymooners

[jere7my]

No turning back now — we're going to Rome.

(!)

I found tickets at Orbitz that were (a) about 2/3 the price of the lowest tickets I'd seen previously (~$600 each, including all taxes and fees), and (b) non-stop on the return flight, when we'll probably be desperate to get home. We'll stay a few days in Rome, then spend a week touring the north of Italy by train in an easterly arcwise direction, going from Florence to Ravenna and...some other places. (Any suggestions? adfamiliares is down on Venice.)

I've never been to Europe, and haven't left North America since I was eleven. Eep.

I love Venice. It is a bit touristy, to be sure, but there are no cars, and even just wandering the streets is exciting. It is a beautiful city, like no other that I have seen.
Florence is also lovely. climb to the top of the Duomo, because it gives the best view of the city and surrounding countryside. The Uffizi is worth the wait, esp if you chat up the street artists around the square. They gave me tips on my sketching when I was there. :)
I second the gelato motion. eat it every day. it is that good.
have fun, and post pictures!
