Italia-Here we come!

We leave home at 7:30 in the morning. We fly from Nashville to Chicago and from there it's direct to Rome. When we arrive it will be about 1 am CDT and in Rome it will be 8 am. Sunday will be our day to tour the city by bus! We will be spending 2 nights in Rome and then on to a small town, Castellina which is south of Florence. We will be there 4 nights and travel that region during those days. The 7th night in Italy will be on the east coast in Ravenna and then the following 2 days will be spent touring Venice and that area. After that we are hoping to go into the Dolomite area. We have 3 nights with no reservations so we can be flexible in travel. The last night September 12th will be in Milan. We fly out from there on Saturday the 13th. Our thanks to Phil and Deanna, our traveling buddies, for planning this wonderful trip!
