Anyone nearby? I got an accidental phone call from Doug (buddy from this site) who reminded me we have lots of members here.
 
Not there but I wish I were. I love that area. Are you going to make it over to Capris?
 
Not this time. Spent time in Rome. Toured Pompeii all day today. Headed back to Rome and New York tomorrow.
 
<jealous>. How’s the weather? Sorento in my opinion is the most beautiful part of Italy. The whole Amalfi Coast down there is just stunning. Enjoy!
 
My daughter is leaving for a 4 month semester in Florence Monday. We’re going over for a couple of weeks while she is there. We’re going to go to Venice, Milan, Torino, Florence and Rome. Can’t wait.

If you are going to be in Florence and Venice, you might want to consider stopping for a day or two in Ravenna.(If you've never been) It's right between the two cities on the eastern coast. The Byzantine Empire Mosaics there are like nothing I've ever seen before. Spectacular. Most of them date back to the 6th and 7th centuries. Dante's Tomb (Dante's Inferno) is also there. Pictures don't do them justice, but here you go:

Wow.
 
Were there in October & November for three weeks on a combination of Sail ship and ground trips throughout Greece & Italy along the coast areas. Beautiful area with many things, places to see and visit. Second time there was the charm as the first trip was only a week and not enough time!
 
I am heading to Pasitano to get married, Sorento, Rome, and venice. for 2 weeks. in late April.

Plan to go to Capri one day as well, will have to rent a boat I assume, or pay for a ride.
