What about going to Rome and taking the train (Eurostar?)? The train ride doesn't look much longer than what I'd spend snagging a connecting flight outta' FCO, and the ride is probably beautifull....so it looks on the net....any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks!!!!!

The train fromTermini in Roma is about an hour and a half. F tickets are cheap and a great ride. As a former resident of Florence I hate that airport.

Small and I have almost been delayed everytime I have gone somewhere. My experiences with LH have been hellish. YMMV Either way have a great time in Florence, I was there this past March and it rocked!
