We have booked a cruise out of Trieste, Italy for 10/19/13. Best flights for us are in/out of Milan, in-10/17, out 10/27. We want to go from Milan to Venice for a day (10/17-18), then over to Trieste to catch the cruise (10/18).

any recommendations about how to get MXP-VCE-TRS? Hotels in VCE/MXP/TRS? Any thoughts, comments, warnings, etc.....would be much appreciated!
Happy Trails,
