Planning

So - it took us weeks to plan what we wanted to do - after the arguments and one trip to the travel agent, we narrowed it down to Italy for almost four weeks and Greece for three.... so many lovely things to do, but we wanted to be able to chill out and watch the passing parade, not just rush from one important monument to another (though we still did quite a bit of that...)

We decided on 2 nights in Dubai on the way over, to minimize jet lag; 10 days in Rome, a week on the Amalfi Coast, a week in Spoleto in Umbria; 2 nights in Florence then back to Rome for one night before flying to Athens. In Greece we decided on 3 nights in Athens, 4 nights touring the Pelopponese - Nafplion, Olympia and Delphi, another night in Athens before heading to the islands - Mykonos (4 nights), Naxos (4 nights) and Santorini (3 nights) before returning to Athens for 2 nights and heading home via Dubai - just typing it makes me feel exhausted!!!!

Leaving: Easter Sunday 4 April 2010 returning 28 May 2010. Hoping the house would still be there when we returned!!!
