Do we have a travel forum? I'm going to Iceland in August, as well as some other places and I need to ask some questions.

Yes done a lot of reading on things to see in Italy, and the Doge's palace is on our list indeed. I hope I can get to Pompeii for a day trip I only have 15 days.
Yes we do have a travel forum post away ooo Iceland how cool.

I know no Itallian so am reading "Itallian for Dummies". I chose May for the cooler temps (with luck we miss the rain) and for fewer tourists.

I am sooooo excited.

Has anyone been? Any tips?

We are going as the complete tourist when in Rome, so don't try and tell me to stay off the beaten path's hehehehehe
Once in Sorrento we will maybe take it slower, but I really want to go see Pompeii. I know there will be much to miss but hey this is the girl who went to England and never got to Stonehenge

I so envy you. I would love to see Pompeii, and Rome. So much history there and the buildings are just awsome. Lots of pics please.

thanks I heard that somewhere in the news. Pity when you think of the ancient structures that fell
Assissi was not on my way so I will be ok.

BTW good seeing you again Chookie.
