I am meeting my traveling partner and boyfriend, Chris, in Rome on the 23rd of March. We will devote 2 days to Rome aiming to view, The Colloseum, The Pantheon, Vatican City, The Trevi Fountain, and more. From there we will travel by train to our hotel in Napoli. A bus/ train will take us from Napoli to Pompeii and we will spend the day in Pompeii.
Napoli will serve as our port the folowing day where we will board a boat that will transport us to The Isle of Capri. For three days we will relax on the beautiful beaches and investigate the hidden nooks and spectacles that the Island has to offer. At the conclusion of our little R&R, we boat back to Napoli and catch a train to Monterosso, one of the Cinque Terre.
Two days in Monterosso and then we’re taking a train to Siena where I’ll play tour guide. I’ll be tour guide for pretty much the entire trip, so I’m excited. Siena will be the conclusion to our trip of Italy.

Planning ahead is the key for smooth travel and in general it will save you lots of money and frustration. The hotel prices fluctuate with the season, so spring and summer are the high seasons, of course. Travel outside the tourist season is more enjoyable because there are less people everywhere, but Italy is Italy no matter when you have the free time. Bus and train companies also run deals every now and then. For example, my bus tickets from Siena to Rome, a three hour ride were 8 euro including tax each way. That’s a REALLY good price, but you have to book 10 days in advance. Just like in the US, always read the fine print. Traveling on religious holidays is tougher because the number of trains and buses and flights are limited and prices sky rocket.
I am Jeanette Steiner and I will be your travel agent… haha just kidding…

It’s going to be a great time and Chris might even be lucky enough to meet and have dinner with Maria Pia and Franco!!!!

Ciao!
