Italy Step by Step: Part 2

So far we have where we want to go:
 

Rome,








                           Amalfi Coast,








Florence, and

Lucca.
 

How are we going to get there?

Airplane to Rome (check airlines, dates, and flight schedule).
Train while in Rome.
To the hotels - hopefully walking just a few blocks!

When are we going?

Spring is our first choice. My travel book says that Italy is very busy at Easter, and the prices are lower before Easter. I look at a calendar and decide on the first 2 weeks in April.  It is just before Easter and the temperatures look ok. Not too hot, not too cold, not too expensive, not too crowded - Perfect!

Where will we stay?

I am looking on vrbo.com, airbnb.com, cross-pollinate, and agriturismo.com. I have highlighted certain places in each town (copied and pasted their URLs to an email to myself!) I have emailed several to see if they can accommodate us (family size and dates). Amalfi Coast is looking very expensive, so we may have to switch to Naples. Hubby and I have a date tonight to discuss ITALY!!
