I have received a couple Zine msgs that I don't see on this list for some
reason, now that I'm here ..but to reply to them. (and others) First of
all thank you for all the information. I was full aware that I could plan
a better trip on my own than the tour I mentioned. However, as the Wests
mentioned, my original impetus for choosing Trafalgar is price. We couldn't
come CLOSE to the price if we travelled to Italy on our own in June.
So ..it seemed that if I wanted to see Italy, this was my only option.
I have checked into the hotels as many questioned ...they all seem to
be four star and VERY well located. In Rome the hotel is in Ancient Rome
near the Coloseum. In Capri we stay at the Regina Christina. In Venice,
the Antony. The only hotel I can't find something about is the Tettuccio
in Montecatini, though one person commented that it is part of the spas
there. Admittedly there is so much more time I will need to spend in Florence
and Venice, had I the money. My hope was that Trafalgar would be a quality
way to see what I can afford, give me a taste and then hopefully next
year we can return to a region we loved and spend more time -- maybe during
off season. I don't want to waste money, but Trafalgar (I thought) was
very well reviewed -- my particular tour listed in Frommer's. If this
seems understandable, under conditions, how can I make the most of one
dawn to dusk day in Florence. David and the Uffizi (which I hear you should
reserve advance tickets somehow) are a must ..anything else? Again, thank
you
