Initially we were going do a whirlwind road trip of the country by flying in and out of Rome. The crazy plan was to rent a car in Rome and drive and stay in the following cities: Florence, Venice, Lake Como, Milan, Cinque Terre and finally down to Naples and the Amalfi Coast (then back to Rome). This was going to amount to over 25 hours (without traffic) of driving and over 1300 miles of road and the more and more we thought about it, this would be a hellish trip and not something that we would enjoy. Combined with trying to see so much we wouldn't get to enjoy the cities like one would really want to, no time to relax as it would be such a go-go-go trip.
