Some Roma questions...
OK - we arrive on a Thursday in September. A Roma Pass wants to be used on 3 consecutive days. I guess we could use the pass Friday, Saturday and Sunday (assuming I can get reservations for Borghese...

I took full advantage of that Roma Pass, it was well worth it. They were just starting the program when I used it. Hopefully they have a few more transportation maps to show you which buses you may...

BTW, this may be the perfect time to read Roma by Steven Saylor. I plan to reread it before I go back because he really makes Rome come alive.

Wow, 13 hours for Naples, Pompeii AND a coral factory? I thought the travel time along would be something like 6 hours RT? How is that possible? I've never taken public transport in Rome if you can...
View ArticleRe: Some Roma questions...
Yeah :-) The time @ Pompeii is limited to 2 hours (about as long as the local guided tour takes). I keep going back an forth on doing it ourselves or not. But remember, we've got another 3 weeks of...

Oboy! We did some serious thinking last night and this AM and decided that we want to stay in Umbria two weeks -- and that delicious place is only going to cost us 450Euro a week. We did driving...

If you are able-bodied and able to walk maybe 3-5 miles per day, I would say just forget about using transit in Rome and walk everywhere. I am a public transit junkie, and the Rome bus system actually...
View ArticleRe: Some Roma questions...
We walked everywhere the last time we were in Rome. But we're older now and just knowing there is a bus we can hop on to take us back to the hotel is a good thing I like the idea of the 118 and 117...

OMG! Just changed our "hotel" in Rome to a place that just opened up last week, off the Via Venito. http://www.dekorome.com Don't know if the link works yet, their site is "under construction" I had...

That looks wonderful, Diane. What an excellent price! Is it a hotel? With staff that can tell you which bus to take and where to catch it? That was, of course, the major down side to renting an...

It's a B&B, with a staffed reception desk, breakfast room, daily maid service, etc. Only six rooms, each with their own bath en suite, wifi, AC, etc. If I were a first time visitor, I might prefer...

Two restaurants that I would recommend are:Salumeria Roscioli (reservations desirable) $175 for two. It was very good, but there is something weird in that they are connected if by name only to a...

We're set to go! Jujuju2 -- I've arranged for "your" driver Emmanunel to pick us up at FCO and take us to the hotel. It will be 11 when we get there and we'll be bushed from overnight travel, so we'll...

Well, good for you, Diane. I think you will be happy with him. He was exceptionally dependable and on time with us, and his car is quite nice, English is good.
View ArticleRe: Some Roma questions...
Sounds like you have it all well in hand, Diane. The hotel sounds really good. When do you leave?

We leave this evening! All the hurricanes have calmed down, so our afternoon flight from RDU should take off w/o a problem. Only slight issue is that Steve started coming down with aa cold yesterday....
