    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Want to tour Italy next Dec and not necessarily want to do the traps. A little off the beaten path where you have a chance to be understood, or a guide maybe.

Contact Londonboards on this forum as he was just there. He has a thread about the trip here somewhere. Lots of great pic's too! :)
 
A little off the beaten path will make it less likely for you to be understood unless you speak Italian. Nevertheless, here are some places you should consider:

Cinqueterre
Tivoli
Civita di Bagnoregio

You should still consider a few of the staples, including Venice and Florence. They are worth it. Rome is amazing, but it is a tourist trap and thieve's den in the extreme.

Procida if you want to travel outward from the coast, and this would let you experience the beauty and squalor of Napoli
 
Italia!

Italia!

I lived in northern Italy in Sacile while working on Aviano Air Base and traveled to the following places:

Sacile (The little Venice)
Trieste (Close to Slovenia)
Lago di Barcis (Lake near Maniago)
Lago di Croce (Another Lake)
Lido di Jesolo (The Beach!)
Lignano (Another Beach)
Verona (Romeo & Juliet)
Venice (Lots of places to eat...St. Marcus Square)
Rome (Colosseum)
Pisa (Very small town..you'll be done rather quickly)
Cinque Terre (5 Towns - ready for hiking...or take a train)
Florence (very quaint)

You're gonna have to learn some Italian...you're an Ambassador so represent your country well!

EDIT: If you feel adventurous...well, nevermind. I almost let the cat out of the bag.

Really looking for more in depth information. We expect to spend a week or two there and will see the usual. Looking for the hidden gems.
