Again - depends on which ports you are going to…….. further north it could be cold. Further south = warmer.

 

And again, our first trip in early May (we also left on our cruise on May 3) we spent 2 nights in Rome before boarding our ship and we wore coats. I had a pea coat as did dh. NOW - this was only at night as we love to roam around Rome (haha - pun intended) after having a nice dinner. When we returned to Rome 11 nights later…… it was already hot !

 

I have checked the weather for all our upcoming ports (we have been to all of them numerous times) from last year……. I will be taking a light jacket for the evenings again as it will be in the high 50's at night…… we are planning on roaming around again at night (Piazza Navonna is great at night!) and I also do not like being cold. I carry it on the plane with me so no need to pack.

Thanks! I appreciate the advice.

I leave in 26 hours - I haven't even started to put one thing in a suitcase :eek: But, the dog is washed and ready to go to doggy-sleepaway camp :)

 

I have a good idea of what I'm taking, but I keep having other things to do. At least all my electronics are charged up. I did some laundry and have to do a little ironing before I pack up.

 

Probably 3 pairs of pants plus one pair of yoga pants for the flights (I've got 2 long flights plus a 9 hour layover, so the pair I wear will be washed and waiting for the same trip back)

my one nice black print sweater - goes with everything

6 of my various Tshirts

3 tank tops

2 long sleeved Tshirts

my long white linen shirt as a "jacket" in the daytime

my one light sweater hoodie plus one to wear on the flights

my LBTD (little black travelers dress)

my rain shell

wearing my new blue jersey blazer

Jambu light shoes

Sperry Topsiders

Either my engineer boots or my Jambu booties - I still can't decide

2 scarves

 

I just have to drag out my bag and pack it...

LOL! Luv that the doggy is washed and ready! ☺️

We leave Friday !!!!! This will be our second cruise in early May…..

 

Our first cruise we left May 3rd out of Civi - it was cold at night the 2 nights prior in Rome….. like coat cold !

 

It really depends on which area you are headed …… further south you go it will be warmer…..

 

When we returned back to Rome @ May 15th it was HOT !

 

So when you say May - early - mid or late May ???? It can be quite different.

 

BTW: I have packed all slacks/capris/shorts - except for my two formals…..

I will take a jacket (for evenings or that cool morning or two)

We leave May 3. Just wondering if I need to bring a heavy jacket or coat....I don't want to be cold!!!😁😁. But coats take up so much room and packing for 2 weeks is already challenging.

I want to see the Vatican and the coliseum for sure. I am leaning toward taking a group tour in a van , similar to Rome In A Limo. Yes, I know there are more relaxing ways, but, I want to just get a feel of Rome. Hopefully we will get to go back another time and enjoy it again, at a slower pace.

First time to Rome. What is the best tour for a one day tour excursion?

Thanks

IF you are careful and aware when you are at the airport with you luggage as in don't put anything such as a purses down to get something out of a pocket etc. or leave your purse unzipped you will be fine...just fine...outside of the airport be as vigilant as they look for people who may be tired,jet lagged and paying attnetion to their things,but I really do not think you will have nay problem...this was just a precautionary email for you.You could get po'd right her in the US just as well.

Thanks! We will be on alert!

I am going on a Mediterranean cruise in May. What is the weather going to be like? Will I need to wear pants during the days? Or will I be able to wear sundresses? Any help would be appreciated!

I have read so much about pick pockets in Barcelona. My concern is when we are at the airport with all our luggage and being able to be on high alert. Are the pick pockets monitored better there? Anyone been pick pocketed there? Advice?

Is it possible to go to Capri from Salerno in one day? We will be arriving via Vision of the Seas 7-6:30

Anyone know of a good affordable boat tour leaving from Salerno? There are only two of us and would like to join a group.

Thanks

Thanks for the awesome pictures! Now, I really want to do this by boat. The views from the water are amazing!:eek:

Just curious if you found a boat tour? We also are looking for something like this.

Thank you for all of your info. Do we pay 1.50 between each beach if we beach hop?

This will be our first trip to Antigua. We want to see as many beaches as we can in limited time. Can we take bus#22 and travel to a couple of beaches? Will they come back and pick us up or do we have to request it??

Anyone won a bid on priceline recently?
