+1 to nature. I guess I have time to plan the exact details. Where did you stay in Florence?

it depends who u are traveling with; florence is a very romantic city, if ur traveling with a spouse/special other than consider doing more days there. If going with a buddy, just lettin u know the museums are cool but mostly consist of naked paintings of woman and naked baby yoshke.

Would you stay there now it at the Westin Excelsior Florence for 25k/night? Was the Axial nice?

No. It was small and clean. Nothing more. If I had spg to burn would stay at westin. Otherwise the axial was fine and a GREAT location

I'm going with my wife. Maybe we'll take your suggestion. We have to talk about it more.

I have enough points for the Westin, just don't know if it's worth 25k. I normally prefer staying at category 4 & 5 hotels.

25k seems like a lot of points, i would try the priceline/hotwire route

If you are serious about this (AKA-you have a trip lined up and need help), why don't you go through the threads that you are creating these blank wikis about and populate the wikis yourself and then someone will help you.

So I'd have to stock up in Rome or Venice? That's a bummer.

Instead of people asking the same questions over and over, wouldn't it be great if the wiki said it all? The hope is that the educated will fill it in and it'll get updated as needed.
I'm going in a few days so I hope to fill it in.
