The travel plans.

First we discussed Spain, then Peru. Since we couldn't travel this summer, it's been the plan to travel after the new year, preferably somewhere warm (or warmer than here, which isn't hard).

There were some snags with the Peruvian idea, however. Mostly these involved our wanting to travel outside of typical tourist areas and finding warnings of many, many kinds about doing so. I got back on the computer and found amazingly cheap flights to Rome... and so the last several weeks have been spent pondering dates, times, and moneys.

This is the schedule I've come up with.

Night 1/2 – Rome
Night 3/4 – Sorrento (trip to Pompeii)
Night 5/6/7/8/9 – Florence (couple day trips, from here)
Night 10/11 – Siena
Night 12/13/14/15/16 – Rome

I've tried not to spread us too thin, yet see some of the main things we'd go for in the first place. Since I was... nine? Pompeii has fascinated me, and so there's no cutting out that leg of the trip. We had planned a night in Assisi, but it's now become a day trip.

Suggestions?
