Thanks for the info. While I would like to get to Rome, we aren't going to make it there this time. We have been talking for a while about doing Rome and then southern Italy from there for our 5 year anniversary, which is the end of summer next year. We'll be sticking with the Northern part for now. 1 night at lake Como, then 2 each at Milan, Florence, and Venice.

It is tough because there is so much I want to see over there. I could spend months just travelling and checking out all of the different countries. I'm looking forward to both phases of the trip. It looks like work has even built in some sightseeing time in Germany since the first week I am there for business, so that will be nice.
