Vacation Quiz & Planning a trip to Italy

-
This is what happens when you have nothing to do, I took the "Where Should You Go on Vacation" quiz and got Paris as my answer, better yet it says I should spend my Christmas there, I think we'll be spending our Christmas vacation in Hamburg this year although we don't have any plans yet.. Paris won't be happening this year, maybe we'll be able to go next year, but for now we have our next trip booked already, I just booked our flights to Italy


Now, we have to plan everything we want to do in Italy, we arrive in Pisa on August 14th.

Our Plan in Italy

Some of the must-see destinations for our first trip to Italy are Rome, Florence and Venice, probably doing 2-3 days in each city.

We aren't booking any sights in advance, but we are definitely planning to go in to the Colosseum and the Vatican.

Moving within Italy is where the question lies, we will not be renting a car and moving strictly by train (from city to city). I've made three potential itineraries and am debating which is the best option.

Option 1:

8/14/2013Pisa CentraleRoma Termini12:01:0015:10:00€58.8
8/17/2013Roma TerminiVenezia S. Lucia8:35:0012:20:00€80

Option 2:

8/16/2013Venezia S. LuciaRoma Termini11:25:0015:10:00€80
8/18/2013Roma TerminiFirenze14:20:0015:51:00€86
8/20/2013FirenzePisa12:28:0013:38:00€15.8

Option 3:

8/14/2013Pisa CentraleFirenze13:11:0013:45:00€15
8/16/2013FirenzeRoma Termini8:04:009:35:00€78
8/18/2013Roma TerminiVenezia S. Lucia16:35:0020:20:00€160
8/20/2013Venezia S. LuciaPisa11:25:0015:03:00€61

It seems that option one is the cheapest, we haven't decided and will check hotel prices before we buy our train tickets. .

You have any plans for this summer or recommendations for me?

Cheers!

     Hi Everyone! it's been a while since i posted anything to my blog, and i opened blogger today and found a couple of drafts, this one I had done as a guest post on a friends blog and figured I'd post it here to! Have you been following along on instagram? I post on my stories almost daily and it's so much fun for me!    List the top 5 cities you've visited and why. I've already done a post on this, 5 Places I'd like to revisit go check it out and tell me if we have any cities in common! What do you like doing in your spare time? I enjoy spending time on the computer and watching stuff on Netflix. when I have time I like challenging myself to do puzzles. What are you reading?

I read Rachel's post: liveblogging  a 12 hour flight to Bangkok and loved it.. granted not every flight is a good one but I figured I'd give this a go and try doing a similar post. I decided to record happenings on my most recent flight, even thought it was less than eight hours it seemed to go okayish and so i'm sharing it with you today. Here's how my flight went down: Before the flight, we were kind of worried about not having any in-flight entertainment since we booked our transatlantic flight with eurowings. 13:03 Board the plane. We get happy the plane does have in flight entertainment. We also noticed that every seat has a water bottle. Sadly only the ones with extra leg room get a blanket/pillow. 13:17  Find out the in flight entertainment requires a 9,99€ payment. 13:44  Time for the safety procedure demo. 13:53  Prepare for take off, then eventually take off. 13:56  Kid behind me says: "guck mal da unten die kleinen Autos." ...

I know I haven't posted anything in a while but I felt like I needed some time off. Lately I haven't had much free time, yet I haven't done much. Allow me to take you back and tell you what happened these past few months.. In July we took a trip to attend a conference in Boston and then stayed an extra week to visit the big apple. I loved getting to revisit this city and got to knock a lot of items of my NYC bucket list. Once we got back from our trip, Avi went back to her last week of school, and my cousin came to visit.. but I kinda screwed up and Avi ended up missing the last day of school (we took a day trip to Berlin instead). We had all of August free, and we took advantage of this (and a wedding in our hometown) and went to visit our family in Mexico. We had a packed two weeks in Mexico, during which we were able to catch up with a lot of friends, visit the BBVA Stadium and  Avi took an intensive swim course, she was able to get the basic done, but she...
