I will be putting together a few different itineraries over the next week or so based on the various number of days the two of you can commit to. I will start with 7 days and then add 10 and 15 day outlines.

If there is anywhere in Italy that you really want to see, post it here. I am sure Lisa that you would love to see the Jewish ghetto in Venice and I know that you Chris want to visit the ruins in Pompeii.

I am fairly open to alot of places so I will defer to the two of you and will instead comment on the places you list.

As far as where we fly from goes, once we firm up a date (the two of you need to work on that since I can get the time off whenever I need it (hahahahaha), we can then look into the costs involved with flying into one city and out of another so we do not back track.

Even in 15 days there is simply too much to see but I am sure with some give and take, we can come up with a trip all of your friends will be in envy of.

Chris is going to work on us being able to post at least part of this on Facebook so any friends or family who might have some good trip ideas will be able to contribute to this blog, unless of course you would rather keep this private which is certainly fine by me and may in face make things cleaner and easier.

This will be the place to post any links the three of us come upon and the place to throw out questions.

I am rather flexible as to when we go but I know both of you have other commitments to work around but please lets make that our number 1 priority as there is not much we can do till we know when.
