Italy
Added 2024-02-17 14:05:41 +0000 UTCLast chance to join us for the trip to Italy in April! The deadline to book is just 3 days away, and we have a handful of spots left. Join me as we visit Rome, the Vatican, Florence, and then stay if you want and join me in Cassino and Pompeii after the "official" tour is over.

I actually went last year in a three country trip to visit Italy in April! What a complete coincidence, I hope you all have a hell of a time!

2024-02-22 18:27:17 +0000 UTCTraveling by rail in Europe is pretty easy (Google Maps makes it really simple). There's a whole group of us doing Cassino and Pompeii so we will navigate it all together.

2024-02-20 04:01:24 +0000 UTCOk. Sounds good. I’ve booked hotels for the two night in Cassino and the Hotel Zeus respectively. I’ll wait on the Telegram chat to book the train tickets, since I’ve never traveled by rail in Italy and don’t speak Italian.

2024-02-19 22:59:44 +0000 UTCOnce the trip is finalized this week, everyone should receive an invitation to the group chat on Telegram. It will make it easier to communicate about this stuff. I'm working on setting up a guided tour of the Monte Cassino battlefield for the 15th so I'll probably try to get an exact count of who is interested in the next few weeks.

2024-02-19 22:52:03 +0000 UTCI can tell you what my plans are, and you can plan accordingly. I'm planning an early morning train to Cassino on April 15th, and staying at the Hotel Piazza Marconi in Cassino that night. The next morning, another early train to Pompeii where my hotel is at the Hotel Zeus. I know that several others (folks I know from the previous group trip to Germany/Austria) are staying in the same places. I'll be taking a train back to Rome the morning of the 17th and catching my flight to New York that afternoon.

2024-02-19 22:50:51 +0000 UTCI’ll add to Randall Jones’ question. What accommodations should we look for if we want to stay for the Cassini and Pompeii visits. And what flight home should we be looking into? I’ll need to modify my return flight, but I’d really love to do the extra days!

2024-02-17 20:43:26 +0000 UTCI’m arriving earlier, at 9:10am. Which reminds me to plan something for that day. Super excited as well! Only 7 weeks to go!

2024-02-17 20:41:32 +0000 UTCChris, I've got the same Cassino Hotel already booked. I'm planning on doing a 6:40pm train from Naples back to Rome and stay in Rome the night of the 16th. My flight back to the states is at 11:00am on the 17th and everything I've read says be there 3-4 hours ahead. Can't wait to see y'all there

2024-02-17 20:38:02 +0000 UTCVasek, I'm arriving at 2:30pm local and I did find that distance on google maps, so I think I got it now! Super excited!
John Reedy
2024-02-17 20:31:37 +0000 UTCAlso, I'm booked at the Hotel Piazza Marconi in Cassino for the night of April 15-16 and the Hotel Zeus in Pompeii for the night of April 16-17 though you can certainly book whatever you want if you're planning to go there.

2024-02-17 20:23:14 +0000 UTCHi John, the Palatino hotel is less than a mile from Termini Station. BTW, I’m coming by a train on 10th as well.
Václav Blažek
2024-02-17 20:20:07 +0000 UTCGot it, Thanks. I won't be in Rome till the scheduled start day on April 10th. But to have a general idea on destination after I get to Termini is very helpful.

2024-02-17 17:47:16 +0000 UTCPlease keep in mind the hotels can change so if you are arriving early and want to stay in the same place do a refundable/cancelable booking

2024-02-17 17:19:15 +0000 UTCOnce the trip finalizes in a few days everyone will get an invitation to the group chat where we can discuss all the details. The hotel could change but for now here are the hotels for the official part of the trip. Rome - Grand Hotel Palatino Area B Florence - NH Firenze

2024-02-17 17:18:24 +0000 UTCWhen will we have more information on hotels and such? I'm landing in country a few days ahead and will be taking the train from Venice to Rome for the start of the official trip and just want to know where I'm going. Also, do you have any hotel/travel info for the Cassino/Pompeii portion?
John Reedy
2024-02-17 17:15:40 +0000 UTCApril 17. That’s the day I’m flying home. We are going to Cassino on the 15th and Pompeii on the 16th.

2024-02-17 16:54:31 +0000 UTCWhat day would the return flight be if I stayed for the Cassino and Pompeii visit? I'm having a hard time figuring out when I will return so that I can get my return day to work correct.
