If you are there at all you HAVE to go to this pub called "The fiddlers elbow" it's in the piazza de santa maria novella. Fantastic fun!

If you get to Tuscan...Don't forget, you asked Jay. <BR/><BR/>If you get to Tuscany via car, be sure to drink wine in Montelcino (south of Siena) at the castle at the top of the town. It's a great tasting and buying place with lots of English speakers. <BR/><BR/>For any and all museums that sell tickets ahead of time book ahead. It's an easy phone call and is a necessity in Florence (tho. this time of year, maybe not so much.) Skipping the line at the Uffizi--priceless. <BR/><BR/>Eat pizza in Rome; it's supposedly the best. Don't eat pizza in Venice; it's supposedly the worst. Eat gelato every single day!<BR/><BR/>If you are driving at all, use the Michelin website for driving directions. They were very good. <BR/><BR/>Buy and bring home local olive oil.<BR/><BR/>In Venice, the cruise ships crowd San Marco from about noon-5, but then they are gone and the town is completely different. Just watching all the boats with a glass of wine or cup of coffee was one of our favorite things to do. And be prepared that Venice is much more expensive that Florence for dining. <BR/><BR/>Make or have your hotel make dinner reservations for you. It assures you a table where you want to eat and is easy. Be sure and eat steak in Florence/Tuscany and seafood in Venice. But most of all enjoy!memphishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11135806668363907263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448824486226424563.post-21834263214580927682007-11-04T19:06:00.000-05:002007-11-04T19:06:00.000-05:00Hey!

See if they have any 4-toed remnants there.<BR/><BR/>Oh yeah, Rick Steve's the best. I might never make it to Europe, but I know what it looks like because of him. His Christmas In Europe DVD is awesome. Christmas is even more special after you hear little Scandinavian girls yelling "Guuuud Juuuul!" :o)Capcomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06841675195251354073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448824486226424563.post-60666365042199196732007-11-03T19:02:00.000-04:002007-11-03T19:02:00.000-04:00Y'know I think we might have one of those guides a...Y'know I think we might have one of those guides at home. Em's gotten me a stack of Italy reading material that I just haven't had time to peruse yet, but hey, that's what nine hour flights are for! <BR/><BR/>Details will be elaborated upon upon my return. And Venice is one of our stops (along with Rome and Pompeii), so any recommendations are welcome. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07475817897723801757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448824486226424563.post-69934814403872106112007-11-03T17:42:00.000-04:002007-11-03T17:42:00.000-04:00What a busy guy!
