Aaaah, the trip! I forgot to get back to that on the other thread. I just booked a hotel in Venice a couple days ago, and I have narrowed Florence down to about six or seven places. I should have that booked by the weekend. I have also researched a little bit more on Rome and the Amalfi coast portion of the trip, and before the end of February I should have all the hotels/places to stay booked for the whole trip.
Here's the link to the B&B I got in Venice. After I made the reservation, I realized that the room might be a little bit small for the three of us, but it's only for two nights. And I think it's in a really interesting part of Venice. What do you think?
And my passport came in the mail today! That was incredibly fast. I applied less than two weeks ago. they said it would take between four and six weeks. Sweet! I have a passport now!
So, in answer to your question, yeah, I'm pretty much as set as I want to be right now. It's coming together.
