due to advice on this this forum and many other forums i was thinking of changing my trip this summer and would love for some advice

right now i am booked for  a fri to wed in venice and many people say that is to much time in venice

so i was thinking of changing my ticket to fri to sun in venice and then venice to paris from sun to wed and have around 2.5 says there

they have avaiablity to change my award ticket from cdg to fra to jfk and i would just pay out of pocket with easyjet from vce to cdg so that i can get  a direct flight there in stead og having a stopover as my wife doesnt want that.

and then obviously stay at  the park hyatt

can you guys please tell me waht you think of this?

While Fri-Wed might be too long in Venice, it's a bit short to do both Venice and Paris IMHO. Maybe consider day trips around Venice and/or spending a few nights elsehwere in Italy (e.g. Bellagio, Cinque Terra, Florence, Tuscany etc.).

so are u saying my itinerary is a good idea or not?

i think yes but would love to hear your opinion

[bentch]

well i went  lake como  to lake garda,  to venice into slovenia and then back up to the italian alps to the kosher hotel.

which one did you like more. como or garda? i'll be leaving from venice and preferrably would like to go to garda since its closer, but if como is worth it, i wouldn't mind travelling the extra time... also, how many days do i need to spend in each and any nice places to stay? thanks.
