I studied in florence for a semester so let me know if you need any reccos!

Oh definitely, that would be great.

Hey!
We're stopping in Italy! Definitely Rome because I need to see the Pantheon! Long story. :) Then we hope to rent a car and drive down the coastline. Stay somewhere either along the Amalfi Coast or Cinque Terre. This will be our scheduled down time. Hehe. Probably 3 days or so total in Italy before we head to the next country.

Me too! What school?

We are going to Italy our itinerary is:
Paris, 4 nights
Florence 4 nights
Capri 5 nights

Let me know if you need / want hotel recs . . . my mom's a TA and is booking for us. Our hotel in Florence and Capri is SICK

ETA - I feel like I'm forgetting something. We were originally doing Rome as well, but decided to cut it because of all the moving around we're doing. I guess that's it. We did have a nice hotel in Rome too, if you are interested.

we're not but FH's two brothers each went to italy on their HMs (and countless other times, FILs were born and raised there).

we were talking to FBIL & FSIL last week and they were telling us about their HM, they went to capri, well their plane landed and they had to take this like boat to capri... in the middle of the boat was a bucket, yea.. you can guess why... FSIL was sick, along with most of the others on the boat, FBIL tried to stand up to grab something for her and was 'pinballed' across the boat and ended up being thrown back into his seat...
according to them, its the most common way to get to capri, so anyone going- take lots of dramamine.

I wouldn't be too discouraged - I've been to Capri already and it's the only way to get there. It's really not that dramatic - maybe they had bad weather or the water was rough?

Just want to throw this out there for you ladies.

Consider looking into booking a studio apt or similar rather than a hotel room. Unless you want the really nice room with service and all that.
I found a studio apt in Rome with a view of the Colosseum for less than $100US a night.

VRBO.com or homeaway.com

Much much more affordable than most hotel rooms. And that particular studio even cheaper than some hostels.

Ooh that sounds great. I am using someone but might want to change. Which hotels are you staying in?

We went to Paris last year and loved it. Let me know if you want any recommendations for restaurants, etc.

Our Itinerary is going to be:

Venice - 3 days
Florence - 3 days
Rome - 4 days
Capri - 4/5 days

TIA.
