My Plans:

Italy, specifically, Rome, Tuscany, Venice
Early November 2008
10-day trip
Flying in and out of Rome

I have two guidebooks, but I trust you seasoned non-revs more than guidebooks. I am flexible, so if my plans sound unrealistic or you have better suggestions please let me know. I'd like info on:

Best dates to travel
Accomodations
Best route for non-revving
Travel within Italy
Off-the-beaten-path sites and events
Useful guidebooks and/or Web sites
Helpful tips



All suggestions are appreciated. Thanks everybody. Safe travels!
