    Probably a better choice.

    No, the Italian guy will be highly subjective and promote his own region/city over others.I still trust guidebooks. I’d suggest to start in Rome, go to Florence next and end in Venice. Anyway, you always have to visit a city at least twice to be able to properly appreciate it.

    Just go and have a good time. Trying to plan the perfect vacation will make everyone miserable and it won’t be perfect.

    Sounds like she’s seriously overthinking it, “Start there, End there, or Start and End there….” Ugh…just go already Betty!!

    No matter where you start or end there is never enough time so just pick a city or two and see as much as you can.I’ve been to London six or seven times (I’ve lost track) and still find new stuff to do and do stuff again that I liked before.

    I suggest make a budget, make a list of places, things you would like to see, make a list of available time for the travel and search ways to travel to each place. Many places are near each other (Venice, Padua, Milano is also north), Florence is north but more southern than that and Naples & Capri are way southern than that

    I also suggest to research the good stuff and the bad stuff from each site, and how to avoid it. I.e, you don’t want to ruin the rest of your trip if something happens to your personal stuff

    Concerning yesterday, one way to go could be to start north (probably Milan), then go south as far as you are willing to travel (passing through Rome which is in the middle), then go back to Rome when you are about to return; this, so you spend more time in cities instead of traveling from one extreme to the other.

    Also, though is obvious is good to keep in mind that most gps apps require a data plan (unless you use here maps), and your current phone probably will not have a data plan there; also, even tough you may buy a prepaid sim or a prepaid data plan, you current phone is probably locked, and will not work with the sim that you buy there (but that will not prevent the phone camera from working, though)
