I'm a very lucky person. I lived in Florence from 1972-5 in the days when all the museums were FREE on Sudays and you could just wander around all day drinking all the wonderful art in. ps your new 'do' is so pretty
Oh, how lucky you are! We spent time in Italy (including Florence) a few years back. Mostly we stayed in a little resort town on the train line called Monticatini Termi. It is a traditional spa town (as in taking the spring waters) and Italians have been vacationing there since Roman times. We were practically the only Americans there -- lots of huge Italian families on holiday, Germans and a few Brits. We could take the train to Piza, the Mediterrean sea, Florence and Lucca for day trips. We then trained down for a stay in Rome.
Diva, Do enjoy it! Revel in the melodious sounds of Italian, the animated gestures of the shopkeepers and museum workers, the taste and smell of an espresso, ....my sister married a Florentine and has lived there for over 20 years. Perhaps that is why I migrated closer here in France. Alas,enjoy your planning and your trip!!

I wish I could visit. You visiting Italy? now that's so cool :D
Oh, I hope you take it!
For reals?! I hope opportunity turns to certainty!
oh, and you should go. Oh, the tales you'll tell.
If I shrink myself really small, will you pop me in your carry on bag?
GO...GO...GO...but beware of the lure 'Under the Tuscan Moon'...you may end up with a fixer-upper and loads of great food and wine!
Ohhh, I LOVED Italy, especially Firenze! I will be glad to haul your luggage for a chance to go with you. puh-LEEZE? :D
When do you go?
