Thanks guys. This is great.

I want a full report! Have fun.

I went and bought two books, yes, those typical "Guide to Rome" kind of things, but they've been good in giving me an idea where the heck everything is.

I've heard about the whole pickpoket thing there, so I'll definitely watch out for that.

Aeneas - I definitely want to check out Florence, and you reminded me of something I completely forgot about...Medici. Is a train perhaps the best way to get up there? I doubt I'll get a car...Do you remember the name of the hotel you stayed at?

One thing I do want to avoid is being "touristy". How can you tell the difference between a restaurant that is geared towards tourists versus a local restaurant away from the those hotspots?
