Italy information...thanks!

[MszKitty]

I've been a CC member for a while now and as you can see by my signature, we've been on a few cruises. On CC, I've been involved in roll calls, and general discussions and over the years, I've gotten great advice and information on ports/tours/excursions, etc. But its always been in preparation for a CRUISE.

However, next month DH, 20 yr old DD, & I are taking a 6 night land trip to Italy. So, just as I would do for a cruise, I've been doing a lot of research preparing for this trip and tonight it just dawned on me to check out this CC board for information and advice on Italy.

 

Its like..."Duh!" Why didn't I think of it before?

 

Thanks to all that have posted such detailed information regarding Italy.

 

You have been a great help!

Yes, lots of info for cities the ship's stop at, but a little thin on other places. Be sure to check out http://www.slowtrav.com/ . It's been helpful in us planning to go to Cinque Terre and the Milan area. Of course, Rick Steves' Graffiti Wall is good too. Have fun!

If you haven't already heard about it, cruise critic has a 'sister site' for land travellers .... http://boards.independenttraveler.com/

Thanks for the info! :) I was wondering if there was a site for the non-cruisers.

Another one I like is http://www.tripadvisor.com - the forums are great, and hotels reviews are a big help when trying to decide on a hotel to stay in.
