A trip from May 25, 2007 to May 29, 2007, travelling to Rome, Pomezia, Terrasini, Venice, Florence …
4 Day trip to Rome, Vatican City, Venice, Florence and … More
4 Day trip to Rome, Vatican City, Venice, Florence and Pisa. Due to the short time, what you will miss the most is Rome. We had so many things left unseen there.
April 06, 2007 :: 00:18 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Yeeeaaaa! Finally I was able to buy the air tickets! Also, I bought the medical insurance for just under $7 for the 6 day trip :-) Still I need to pile up other documents and rush for the Schengen Visa from the Italian Embassy (after taking half day leave off of the office) and get the IDP.
May 05, 2007 :: 23:09 --------------------------------------------------------------------- The car and hotel reservations were done on April 15. I went to Italian embassy, New York City on April 24 and passed through smoothly with my Visa luck. I never had to face any tough question in any Visa interview. I'll pick up my stamped passport on May 10 (another couple of hours rest off of the damn office!) The IDP is on it's way too and should reach me by May 08.
April 2010 will be my seventh trip to Florence. I love the city. So many things to do. My friends and I found out that the public bus system is so very inexpensive and we were able to mingle with the locals. The Pizza restaurant on San Jacopino was wonderful. The best food was at Ristorante dei Golosi. It doesn't look like much from the outside but the food is reasonable and tasty, the staff is very friendly. We've eaten there more than thirty times. Paczkowsky's on Piazza Repubblica has very good food but, looking back, the staff does not leave you with a warm fuzzy feeling and a desire to go back. Be aware that many of the restaurants have a "table setting" charge of as much as $5.00 per person.
