September 26 - October 2 for me.

Not sure exactly what our schedule is as we'll be doing some day trips and an overnight in Rome on September 29.

I didn't bother trying to get tent reservations - didn't have too much trouble last year and I guess I'm hoping for the same this year.

I am having a hell of a time finding reasonable hotel accomodations - last year I got everything for under $200 a night - this year it's a far cry from that...

Here's hoping that next week results in some increased hotel inventory and cheaper rates.
