I'm moving next weekend, so it's hard to focus on travel, but I know the next trip will be here before I know it. Mom's been good about handling the research so far so there isn't a whole lot left.
The plan is to leave on Thursday, April 2 through JFK, arriving around 11am on Friday in Venice, Italy. We already have reservations in Venice at Hotel Caprera which Mom is really excited about. We'll be in Venice for Palm Sunday which could be cool.
We'll stay in Venice for 4 nights and check out on the 7th at which point we will go back to the airport and....nope, not a flight, we'll pick up a car.
We plan to drive South toward Bologna and spend one night in that region, then we'll continue South to Florence where we'll spend another night. On the final day we'll work our way South to Rome, maybe stopping in Montepulciano and/or Orvieto. Then we'll drop the car at the airport in Rome.
But, still no flight, we'll take the train into town. We'll stay at Boschetto B&B for 5 nights. It's right near the Cavour stop on the blue line of the Metro. This puts us in Rome for Good Friday and Easter - we're thinking that Easter near Vatican city could prove to be cool.
Then it's homeward bound, finally.
Check back for updates to see how this whole thing goes :) I'm particuarly eager to see how the whole driving in Italy part works out....
