What a trip!

ImageWhat a trip!  I'm writing this on the flight back from Europe and am going to recap our two weeks for friends, family, and anyone on Yahoo that might be reading this for inspiration like I did with other trips.Image

Our objective was to see the blockbuster cities and monuments- to hit as many high points as we could in two weeks.

That looks to be an awesome trip!!!! Have any advice about traveling in Europe for a first timer? (I am wanting to go for a month to get the full European adventure but I am thinking that may be a little much when I am a new traveler)

This trip looks awesome. Now I really can't wait for mine! I just have one question........I have heard that you are not allowed to take pictures in the Sistine chapel. Is this true?

Thanks for your journal! It gave me a lot of ideas for my trip!

You can take pictures in the Sistine Chapel so long as you don't use a flash. Or at least they won't do anything. But no flash!

AJ-

The best advice I would have for you is to buy good guide books to help you. The best are by Rick Steves. He has probably a dozen depending on where you want to go. But for a first time I would go for as long as you can! You never know when you'll be able to go back!

I am trying to plan a trip for next year to Italy..i would love to visit Sicily, & maybe someone can probably give me some information about how much money it might cost me..i would love to stay for 2 to 3 wks..i would love to have information about it..i want to be prepared, since its my dream to visit italy..

That is so magnificent! really excellent! and a great experience! i just wondered how much money you spent on everything so i would likely know how much i should save starting from now for that trip.
p.s. i live in CA

Decent hotels will be about 150 Euros a night in a good location, and food you can do for probably 50 Euros a day per person (15 lunch, 35 at dinner) if you are careful. Flights are getting expensive, but I would look in the $1200 range. Sights and transportation are pretty cheap.

The best advice would be to buy Rick Steves Guidebooks, he has a very low cost philosophy.

The Paganelli is where we stayed in Venice and the Columbia is where we stayed in Rome. Neither was outstanding except for the location.
