Thanks for the info. 3 of the 4 of us have only been to Europe once before and that was on a tour. Had no idea that rooms that sleep 4 are so unusual.

Spigman, I have tons of questions. Did you drive or use the train? We are flying into VCE and back from FCO. Plan to spend 2 nights each in Venice & Florence and 1 night in each in places undecided as of yet. We will then have a timeshare for a week just outside Rome. Any suggestions on where to spend the other 2 nights? Tuscany area, Adriatic Coast? Not interested in Milan.

Anything you would advise against or were disappointed in? We plan to do all the touristy things. Did you go to Pompeii? Did you do self tours in Rome or group? Any and all advice would be appreciated since we are novices. Thanks.
