They fold up almost flat so they can easily fit into a beach bag (or purse! hehe). Even if you're not much of a wine drinker, these silicone wine glasses can also be used for cocktails, ice tea, raspberry lemonade or water.

RTcom USA Introduces Fiber Optic and CAT -5e/6 Extension Systems for High Definition Video and Audio
New Delivery Systems Extend DVI and HDMI Connections Ground-Breaking Distances While Maximizing Signal Integrity
Denver - (September 4, 2008) - RTcom USA Inc., provider of digital connectivity solutions for professional and consumer audio -visual and personal computer systems, announces to the custom electronic installations industry two revolutionary fiber optic and Category 5e/6 (CAT -5e, CAT -6) cable systems that can extend high -definition video and audio signals up to one kilometer (3,280 feet) without degradation of signal.
With HDCP compliant modules for both DVI and HDMI, the fiber optic and CAT -5e/6 cable systems provide complete solutions for medium and long distance high -definition content delivery.
Installers may run into difficulties when faced with having to send HDMI signals over extra -long cable runs as the quality of the signal usually deteriorates over the extended distance. RTcom's unique fiber -optic and CAT -5e/6 transmitters and receivers enable the signals to transmit over a distance of up to 3,280 feet, noise -free and with full high resolution up to 1080p. Each extension system consists of one transmitter, which converts DVI or HDMI into a fiber optic or CAT -5e/6 signal, and a receiver, converting it back to its original source.
"No matter how far you plan on extending your signal, whether it's three feet or 3,000 feet, RTcom's fiber -optic and CAT -5e/6 cable extension systems provide the most reliable method to ensure you have the highest quality signal with no signal degradation," said Joon Ryu, president of RTcom USA. "As with many of RTcom's products, the extension systems are High -Definition Content Protection (HDCP) compliant, which allows users to present high definition, commercially copywrited protected material on several different displays."

•Extends high definition displays up to 150 feet (45 meters) from the source at 1080p
•Supports resolutions up to 1080p, 2K, and 1920 x 1200

Radicalisation – do we really need to worry in nursery?
February 1st, 2016 by Sarah Steel
The papers are full of stories of radicalism and terrorism on a daily basis and there have recently been articles regarding the failure of the authorities to prevent young children from being taken to Syria and becoming radicalised, as they pose in IS 'uniforms' and become part of the propaganda war. The Prevent Duty which was introduced to try and keep children and young people from being radicalised has taken some stick, with headlines about how we should be alert even with the youngest children.
Nurseries are now expected to explain to OFSTED inspectors how they are complying with the Prevent Duty, and this still causes some concern for practitioners. At a staff meeting last week we focussed on exactly what it means to us in early years and agreed that if we know our children, family and colleagues well and take time to listen, we are a long way to meeting our duty. We embrace a framework of tolerance and celebrating different cultures and since July 2015 the Early Years Foundation Stage has required us to promote British Values. This does not involve displaying pictures of the Royal Family (despite what some supplier catalogues would have us believe!) but does involve making decisions together, taking turns, being fair, respecting each other and understanding different cultures.
If any parents want to know more about how we promote British Values or how we fulfil our Prevent Duty, do ask your nursery manager or drop me a line. This article in Nursery World is also an interesting read. http://www.nurseryworld.co.uk/nursery-world/opinion/1155379/nurseries-uniquely-placed-to-spot-radicalisation
Reducing sugar in our diet
January 31st, 2016 by Sarah Steel
As January draws to a close, many of us will have made some new year resolutions to eat and drink less, or exercise more. However, there has also been a lot in the media about sugar and how bad it is for us. We've been focussing on sugar in drinks with our pre-school children in nursery, showing them pictorially how much sugar is in some soft drinks, including those directly targeted at children. A small carton of Capri-sun, which some might think was 'healthy' as it is fruity, contains 10g of sugar in just one serving. A 471ml bottle of Friij toffee milkshake contains an amazing 12.9g of sugar.
At nursery we serve only milk and water and encouraging toothbrushing after lunch. There are some great public health resources for anyone interested in cutting down on sugar, do have a look at: http://www.nhs.uk/change4life/Pages/change-for-life.aspx
Our display may at least make you think twice, or help when you are explaining to your child why water is so good for them in so many ways!
Good quality pre-schools are start of lifelong learning
December 14th, 2015 by Sarah Steel
There was an interesting article in the Sunday Times yesterday about a research project at Oxford University, which follows on from previous research on pre-school provision. The study shows that children who are 'turned-on' to learning in their pre-school years will go on to achieve greater academic success. The Early Years Foundation Stage now has a real emphasis on practitioners looking at how children learn, as well as what they learn, which we describe as 'characteristics of effective learning'. It's always good to know we're on the right track!
Have a read of the article for yourself:
A to Z of attachment

What does the Spending Review mean for Early Years?
November 26th, 2015 by Sarah Steel
The key points which have emerged from yesterday's spending review so far look like this:
- The average rate for 3 and 4 year olds will be £4.88. The small print is yet to be clarified, but this figure included the Early Years Pupil Premium, for disadvantaged children, which DfE say is worth 5p within this calculation. Whilst this sounds positive as a headline figure, it seems likely that this figure will be what is paid to local authorities, not what will actually be paid to providers. DfE have said that the average 'uplift' is more likely to be 30p an hour – really not so impressive. There is no detail about the money being index linked, so bearing in mind it doesn't even come into action until September 2017, costs will have risen significantly by then. The NMW is due to reach £9 per hour by 2015 – how will the funding rate increase to match this?
- The average rate for 2 year olds will be £5.39. Concerns are as for the 3 year old rate.
- The rates for 2, 3 and 4 year olds are for PVIs, childminders, primary schools and maintained nurseries. It will be interesting to see what guidance is given to local authorities about whether rates should be uniform across sectors or whether maintained settings will continue to be paid a higher rate.
- There will be a consultation in January around how local authorities pass on funding and contract with providers.
- DfE will be introducing a national funding formula for early years, schools and high needs from 2017-18.
- DfE will clarify what extras providers can charge for (e.g. food, extra activities) and will look at flexibilities, efficiencies and cutting red tape. This is very welcome as it causes considerable confusion for settings and parents alike.
- The new 30 hour childcare offer is going to be restricted to single/both parents who work 16 hours per week and earn up to £100k each. When the policy was launched in the summer, it had been promoted as applying to anyone working from 8 hours, so this reduces the number of children who are eligible.
- The new funding rates will not come in until September 2017.
As usual, the devil will be in the detail. The initial figures sound promising for early years, but until there is clarity on how local authorities will pass on the funding, we are not really much further on. I will be continuing to work with the National Day Nurseries Association to represent the concerns of PVI nurseries.

Arrival by ground transportation
6:00 and 7:00 a.m. youll be picked up by a microbus at your
San José hotel to begin your exciting adventure. You will
travel a breathtaking route through Cartago, the old capital of
Costa Rica, before continuing on toward the town of Turrialba.
The two and a half hour trip then skirts the slopes of the Irazú and Turrialba Volcanoes toward the north, and the Reventazón River Basin and Orosí Valley toward the south. Majestic scenery includes rolling fields of ornamental plants, sugarcane, coffee, and macadamia, and the jungle-covered mountains of the Talamanca Mountain Range.
A stop en route is taken to enjoy a
delicious traditional breakfast and beautiful views of the town
of Cervantes.
The bus trip ends in Santa Marta, where you board a four-wheel-drive vehicle for the remaining six-kilometer gravel road journey to the banks of the Pacuare River. Views of the mountains covered by dense jungle couldn't be more dramatic! Advancing down the road, you plunge ever deeper into the beauty of the zone until you arrive at the Pacuare River, the Cábecar cultures symbol of life. The adventure continues as you leave the four-wheel-drive vehicle and cross the river on a hanging gondola that carries you above the river via a 100 meter cable running from riverbank to riverbank. At the other side an electric car will be waiting for you to take you to the hotel´s lobby where a refreshing cocktail awaits your arrival.

We've been after BF for years to publish some meaningful stats to show affiliates the conversion ratio of the merchants. No respomnse yet so we assume it means their conversion ratios suck big time. Some like TigerDirect publish their results and the rest remain quiet hoping they don't scare off free traffic generators.

I don't have too many BeFree partners. But for the ones I do, the only good program that has a good conversion rate is, oddly, Vermont Country Store. Their site and products do well during the gift buying season (like this Fall) and are pretty good at getting impulse buys.
I've had dismal luck with Expedia. Bass Pro Shops also converts very poorly in comparison to my other sports merchants. While you occasinally get some nice sales with them, overall conversion rates for my site at least are quite low.

Checks Unlimited converts very well for me.

It really depends on your viewership. I'm guessing something relating to films, books, or books about films?

How a wooden watch is making my life easier (yes, really).
One of the reason I'm so big on improvement and development is that I'm actually a bit useless at the whole adult thing. I like being lazy, I'm pretty careless and I'm definitely not elegant – the phrase "this is why we can't have nice things" could have been invented by my mother or partner to describe me.
When hiking I will scoot across a boulder on my butt and tear a hole in my tights.
I cringe when people buy me nice earrings, because I know there's a solid chance I'll pack them for a holiday and one of them will never return.
That's why I get excited when I find something that is life proof (or at least Jessi-proof) but still looks sophisticated – letting me fool people into thinking I really have this whole professional adult thing down.

The friendly people over at Brandywine Counseling, Delaware's largest non-profit addiction treatment center, are opening up a women's and children's treatment center that will serve up to 15 to 20 women and children a year. I have been meaning to throw this up for sometime now not because they need the well deserved recognition, but more to point out that this is the kind of treatment that works.
This residential program will fill a critical treatment gap in the state by improving substance abuse treatment outcomes for mothers with co-occurring disorders. Women who were not able to engage in treatment because of their parenting responsibilities will now be able to bring their children with them to treatment.
The BCI Residential Program will provide a safe, therapeutic environment where women and their children will learn skills for healthy lifestyles. Integrated services will include substance abuse treatment, mental health treatment, medical care, trauma services, GED services, employment readiness, parenting education, child care, and social activities. Children will receive assessments, developmental and therapeutic counseling, health care, health education, and prevention services
Affordable because it's free and more likely to succeed because of its duration and the realistic support of the needs of addicted mothers trying to raise children, this is a great program. I can't say enough about Matt and the people over at Brandywine and how they are dedicate to serving their community.

The trip to Costa Rica was nothing less than amazing. As you see in some of the bonus footage, the guys had a great time out in the city, at the house and horsing around in the pool between shoots. And what awesome shoots they were ...
The Central American sun shines through the glass doors. It's a gorgeous, hot day. We're miles and miles from home. There's four stunning guys on the bed. Two twins. One has never been fucked before. That's a formula for paradise!

Demand-side management via distributed energy generation and storage optimization

Demand-side management, together with the integration of distributed energy generation and storage, are considered increasingly essential elements for implementing the smart grid concept and balancing massive energy production from renewable sources. We focus on a smart grid in which the demand-side comprises traditional users as well as users owning some kind of distributed energy sources and/or energy storage devices. By means of a day-ahead optimization process regulated by an independent central unit, the latter users intend to reduce their monetary energy expense by producing or storing energy rather than just purchasing their energy needs from the grid. In this paper, we formulate the resulting grid optimization problem as a noncooperative game and analyze the existence of optimal strategies. Furthermore, we present a distributed algorithm to be run on the users' smart meters, which provides the optimal production and/or storage strategies, while preserving the privacy of the users and minimizing the required signaling with the central unit. Finally, the proposed day-ahead optimization is tested in a realistic situation.

(Adds comments from conference call, background on OneFoods unit)
By Ana Mano
SAO PAULO, Jan 10 (Reuters) - Brazilian food processor BRF SA sees cost savings and other efficiencies from its investment in a Turkish poultry producer reaching up to $180 million, its chief executive officer said on Tuesday.
CEO Pedro Faria said on a conference call that the investment in Banvit Bandirma Vitaminli Yem Sanayii AS will give BRF's OneFoods halal meat unit a roughly 40 percent share of the Middle East market.
BRF will take a 60 percent stake in the Banvit venture and the Qatar Investment Authority (QIA) will take 40 percent, according to a securities filing on Monday.
The venture, announced soon after the creation of BRF's Dubai-based OneFoods Holdings Ltd, underscores its plan to establish a strong foothold in the Middle East. The market for halal meat, which follows Muslim dietary rules, could grow to $60 billion by 2020, say analysts.
Reuters reported last week that BRF plans to raise about $1.5 billion from listing 20 percent of OneFoods in London by late March or early April.
Banvit is "a first step to accelerate growth in region," Faria said, adding that OneFoods can partner up with investors such as the QIA to boost it regional power.
BRF's shares rose 2 percent in early trading in São Paulo.
"The involvement of QIA as strategic partner creates a very interesting funding opportunity for BRF," Faria said, referring to potential acquisitions and organic growth.
Qatar's stake in the Banvit venture could be converted into OneFoods shares if the unit goes through with an IPO, Alexandre Borges, BRF vice president for finance and investor relations said in an interview on Monday.
The first phase of the deal, which puts Banvit's enterprise value at $470 million, involves acquiring 79.5 percent of the company's shares. A mandatory tender offer for the rest of the company will then mirror the same conditions given to Banvit's controlling shareholders, Faria said.

By far, Bach.
i love Beethoven.
Chopin, MacDowell, Rachmaninoff, Brahms, some Mozart/Beethoven, Liszt, Bach is also good. I usually prefer classical music on the piano, hence my selections. Brahms should precede Rach in this list since I find him much more difficult to play well. Bach is very technical and was very innovative in his day. Not too many virtuosos who don't owe their very career to him, either.
Yes -- all of the above -- Chopin is wickedly clever, and Bach amazes me he is sooo devious; Rachmaninoff I just recently rediscovered and am happy to have done so . . . .I don't play, but my ears sure do like to listen. . . Mozart's Requiem gives me the chills, as does Faure's; also a fan of early church music (music, not the chants so much) -- some of those early motets are fiendishly difficult to sing (the choir master nearly put me on the bench for throwing my shoe at him).
Beethoven is my favorite, but I like a lot of classical composers. My mom listens to almost nothing written after 1900, so I pretty much grew up on them. Other favorites: Mozart, Bach, Tchaikovsky, Verdi, Puccini, Bizet, Vivaldi, some Mendelssohn and Chopin, some Saint Saens and Khachaturian and Orff and Ravel and Strauss and on and on...
Hooray -- someone who confesses liking Vivaldi! I do, too -- where I'm from it's now considered naff to admit to liking the Four Seasons -- I think it rocks and am still a great fan of Nigel Kennedy's version.Cal Orff's Carmina Burana -- we sang that once, and had so much fun with the skipping rhythms -- it made my Latin so much better, too. . .
Grieg's piano concerto in A minor.
I would say Beethoven is my favorite.He was a legend in classical compose.------------gomez<snipped promotional link>
I liked that one piece by Claude DeBussey "Clair de lune", it's in all the Ocean's Eleven movies and is an ace piece of classical music.
For you Classical Music junkies out there, please check out my hub on about Handel's opera, Semele.
Three new hubs for Classical music lovers: (i) Mozart's Requiem; (ii) Schubert's kunstlieder; (iii) Bach's Johannespassion. Check them out.
Beethoven's 9 symphonies are said to have been inspired by the Elohim, providing complete cycles for soul evolution, true soul stirring into the depths and to "enlightenment".I like Mozart, Handel, Vivaldi and Bach for studying, to keep my mind from wondering!A favorite?...that is hard to say...probably ancient East Indian Bhajans...are those considered classical !?
Is there good Hub on Bhajans?
If the Elohim inspired Beethoven's 9th, surely they played some part in Bach's composition of the Johannes-passion.
I prefer Handel
Handel is quite good--his baroque style music is elegant and light. What a contrast between his choral works and the sensory overload of a Wagnerian Opera.
Elgar - especially his Cello Concerto and Enigma Variations.
Barber--Adagio for Strings. Considered classical? I dunno, but it has inspired some emotional poems from me.Other than that, Beethoven by far.
the Adagio is really something, eh? I've just started being able to listen to it again (it made me cry for the longest time, it is so moving) -- which leads me to ask everyone, not just Lita:how many times have you found yourself actually crying with joy at live classical or baroque or any live orchestra or quar- quin- sextet? Some folk I know won't sit near me at concerts. . .
Naw, I'm a weird romantic writer/artist thing. I drink wine and listen to emotional music in private and it inspires me--when I hear something like that I want to put it into words or paint it (somehow, sometimes both).Alone, you can bawl freely, too. A benefit.
speaking of painting, I meant to ask you earlier: did you paint the great picture at the head of your hub on 10 great books? I like!
No, that to me looks like an Edvard Munch, tho it could just be in his style... I just grabbed it, as it fit...bad of me, I know...
it is Munch-y, that's why I thought it was so clever -- as she looks as though the weight of all that literature will be the end of her. . .not bad, no: we all do it
I would have to toss a coin between Nicolo Paganini and Johann Pachelbel. With both appealing to each side of my complex personality it would be a mistake on my part to choose just one.Paganini speaks to the chaos of my humanity whereas Pachelbel appeals to my understanding of the subtle complexity of life.Scott
Bach is the best..
What was the last live performance of classical music anyone of you have experienced?
Iowa City--University Auditorium, few years ago... Not a big classical performance center, the wilds of Northern Arizona.When is the last time you've seen a saguaro or a creosote? Have you EVER seen a saguaro or a creosote? lol
My head is going to explode! Thank you all for reminding me of these composers (I have dueling Bizet and Tchaikovsky in my brain at the moment, and that's quite bizzare). (There's probably a law against it, in fact).Wish I could remember the names of all the pieces of music I like. . . I feel like such a nurp when people start throwing their first symphonies around, or say things like "don't you just melt in the slow movement?" -- which sounds rather dirty, actually, sorry.
LOL.... Teresa, you are funny...
For me it would be Bach. I love CANON in the d minor

Do you have a favourite composer, or a favourite piece of music? Feel free to share. My favourite overall composer is Bach, but my favourite piece has to be this from Ralph Vaughan...

Willis Alan Ramsey (self-titled)
A one of a kind record from a talent so deep it kills you to learn… this is all there is. Straight out of Austin, Texas this may be the best of the whole Armadillo/outlaw scene, though Willis never wanted a part of it in the first place. Country fans and foes alike should grab this record and hold on tight.
Willis Alan Ramsey's record merges country and soul as much as it combines chicken shack production with a touch of studio glitter. Put out by Leon Russell on his Shelter label (Russell also contributes keyboard), Ramsey was only twenty when he wrote many of these tunes, and only 22 or so when he laid down the vocals. Pretty remarkable considering the sound. It's an ecclectic mix of styles with songwriter tunes ranging from the sweet and waltzy to bluesy, gritty grooves. "Muskrat Candlelight," the album's most sugary spot, would be covered by America and forever confined to the Lite 97s as "Muskrat Love." But other tracks tear it up. All originals except for "Angel Eyes," which fits like a glove on Side 2, every song is a serious keeper.
A few tracks are ornamented with strings and orchestral accompianment, which works for the more developed numbers, but the sound gets so nicely stripped at times. On two tracks, "Satin Sheets" one of them, the only percussion is a steady kick drum with a thick cardboard sound. "Ballad of Spider John," the hypnotic storytale opener, also achieves this effect; the simplicity delights me to no end.Then this little green bit of heaven closes with a cut no one could argue, a swampy and irresistible groove: "Northeast Texas Women."
Willis Alan Ramsey made one of those perfect albums. Unfortunately for us, he was seriously jaded by the music business, and never put out another record.

EditTips for the Achievement
The easiest way to complete this achievement is with another person during the Survival Spec Ops mission, Resistance. Before you get to wave 6, you must purchase a predator missile (It will be available after the first couple rounds.). During the sixth round, the helicopters should come in for you to take them out. While you destroy the first chopper, your partner can weaken the second one by shooting it until it starts smoking. Be careful not to get hit and finish it off. This is also possible on solo if you use a predator missile first and then a light machinegun. Just keep under the cover of the buildings while staying away from gunfire.

>>>Reach Rome from US at 8:30am, get out of custom by 9am, get out of baggage drop and arrive at train to station by 10am (is this realistic taking the Leonardo connection) – Get out of Rome by 10:45am…<<<
No. You may have your baggage by 9:30 or 10 and then you have to walk to the train station. Trains to Rome only depart every 30 minutes so you may have to wait thirty minutes if you just missed one. Travel time to Rome is 30 minutes. The Leonardo drops you at a satellite track so you will have a long trek to the other trains. You should allow some time in Termini to get some food/drinks to take with you. The train will have a restaurant car and a snack bar.
>>>15th July, Sunday – Breakfast in Venice, Checkout of Apt, Pick a car (where is the best place?) and drive to Lucca, visit Lucca and drive to Pisa, visit Pisa, drop the car and take a train to Florence<<<
Bad plan. Train to Florence and check in your hotel. Lucca/Pisa can easily be visited from Florence by train (about 6-7€ one way). Many museums in Florence are closed on Monday so plan Lucca/Pisa that day. I would bus or train to Lucca first and then Pisa.
>>>19th July, Thursday – Checkout, pick a car, drive to San Gimi, Siena & Orvieto (Is it possible to do all three by car in a day?)<<<<
Too much for one day.
Report Abuse
I agree with kybourbon. You are wasting time picking up a car when you do not need it for your travel destinations. You can go by train from Florence to Lucca and Pisa. If you want, you can do a day trip to San Gimignano and Siena via bus from Florence.
From Florence, you could train to Orvieto; however, I do not think the station has luggage lockers.
The alternative to training would be to pick up car in Venice and keep it until Orvieto--but NOT stay in Florence. Instead, you could stay at an agristurismo and day trip to Florence, Pisa, Siena, etc.
Report Abuse
I think some of this is overly ambitious, starting with the time estimate leaving FCO.
SG, Siena & Orvieto, way too much for one day, way too much.
As is doing Murano and Burano both in one half day.
Also you may be unaware that July 15 is the Redentore Festival in Venice. Google it, it may be well worth adjusting your plans to stay another day. If not, be aware that given it being a weekend, I imagine it will be very crowded in Venice, and you may have to modify your plans.
And be advised that Pompeii on a weekend in July will also be crowded and hot, hot - plan accordingly.
Oh, and add some time for grocery shopping when you get to Venice apt before sightseeing. You are traveling with kids, just off a long plane ride, and train ride to Venice - frankly if you all aren't dropping from exhaustion by then I will be surprised.
Your trip will be so much more enjoyable if you take it a bit more slowly, and make sure everyone is fed, hydrated and rested. Keep tweaking.
Report Abuse
I would also suggest Ostia Antica outside of Rome as a day trip instead of Pompeii. Pompeii would be a lot of effort, a long day trip; it will likely not be pleasant in July.
Ostia Antica is also fascinating. It is easy to get to by public transit and would hold kids' attention equally well.
These sites are in English:

With 5 people , get a shuttle service to Termini.

I'll third the idea to save Pompeii for another trip. You also need to think about other cuts - even without Pompeii, this trip is quite rushed. 12 days isn't as much as you think.
Report Abuse
I don't sdee anywhere info on how old yuor kids are - and this will make a big difference. If you are traveling with teens they will be able to keep up - although theymayhave some difernt interests.
If any of the kids is small - then I thnk you need to slow down a whole lot or you will have some really cranky kids making the trip sheer hell.
Aso you need to realize that this time of year in Italy is hot and often humid - and you simply can't do as much as you could in more clement weather (95 and humid is enough to wear anyone down after a couple of hours).
Report Abuse
Drop Murano/Burano - you don't have enough time. Ditto for Pompeii.
I second ky's suggestion to train directly to Florence, check into hotel, then see Lucca and Pisa as a day trip from Florence on Monday.
Report Abuse
Day 1 - Train to Orvieto. Relax and wander Orvieto. Overnight Orvieto.
Day 2 - Pick up car in Orvieto, drive through Tuscany via Siena. Stay somewhere near Florence/Pisa/Lucca/San G for 3-4 nights and do day trips.
After Tuscany area, either drop car in Florence and train to Venice (2-3 nights?) or drive to Venice.
Train Venice to Rome for last few nights.
Report Abuse
First of all, thanks a lot everyone for your feedback.
@kybourbon: So, realistically what is the earliest time we can be on train from Rome to Venice? We might also have to use the drop luggage service at the airport or train station. Will it help the time, if we take an airport shuttle? For the Lucca/Pisa trip, I am trying to fit our travel from one city to another and a day trip into the same day so that I do not lose precious time in check in etc. In car, I can have the luggage with us and check in at the end of the day. I know on Monday Academia and Uffizi are closed, but we can do Duomo, Bargello and some other stuff on Monday, right? The other option would be to plan Academia and Uffizi for Sunday when we come from Venice by train, but I am not sure what reservation time would be good, since there is uncertainty involved with train travel and check-in etc… I am assuming I cannot possibly fit train travel from Venice to Florence, a trip to Lucca/Pisa the same day. May be I can if I use the left luggage service at Florence… For 19th what would make it realistic, two towns or one? Your itinerary suggestion looks interesting. Will think about that.
@mama_mia: I am trying to fit our travel from one city to another and a day trip into the same day so that I do not lose precious time in check in etc. Earlier my plan was to go to San Gimi and Siena in one day and return to Florence and go to Rome by train the next morning... so this way I lose half a day, when returning to Florence for the night halt really does not buy us anything except to pick the luggage. Is it possible to do the car trip from Florence to San Gimi and Siena by car in one day and return to Rome by train from Siena? I got earlier feedback (to another thread) that it is best to stay in Florence than to stay at agroturismo or Tuscan town. I might look into Ostia Antica instead of Pompeii.
@socaltraveler: Please suggest realistic time for FCO departure, I do not have a clue. Will two towns in a day by car doable? As for Murano and Burano, I read many trip reports claiming it can be done in half a day. Again, I do not have a clue as to whether it is realistic. What I did not know about at all was the Redentore festival… not sure what to do about it. Is it worth to give up visit Lucca/Pisa to enjoy Redentore festival? I agree, it would be crowded in Venice when we would be there, but given that we are going in summer, is the crowd going to any more (than normal summer weekends) for Redentore festival itself? Thinking of dropping Pompeii… Yes will do grocery when we arrive. The day of arrival, I should not have said sightseeing; it is more like walking and having an evening experience with some grocery shopping etc. It is basic orientation time and getting a feel of the evening. I will keep tweaking until I get it right or start of the trip whichever comes first!
@bobthenavigator: thank you for the shuttle link. I am thinking it probably will be easier to use a shuttle service.
@bardo1: Pompeii will very likely be dropped. Yes, it is rushed; I want to mix big cities with a few small towns without overwhelming the kids. I know for sure we will not return to Italy for a very long time; our world trip wish list is mile long. So, want to fit in anything that is practically possible.
@nytraveler: Kids are 14 and 10s. We do a lot of road trip in US and they are ok as long as they are well fed, hydrated and have some form of entertainment while in car/train etc. With kids at that age, there is no choice for us to do any travel unless we venture out in summer. I am hoping a mix of indoor and outdoor activities will help. With the way summer has started in US, I am also hoping, this year summer will be cooler in Italy; no harm in hoping, right?
@ekc: While I am planning to drop Pompeii, really do not want to drop Murano and Burano… will see after a few tweaks. This is almost like a trip we did to Amsterdam couple of years ago… I was suggested by many to drop Keukenhof from a 2.5 days trip, I was so tempted to go (love flowers). I am glad we did and experience was unforgettable since it will be hard to return to Amsterdam soon.
All, please keep suggesting tweaks, I really need them to make adjustment for a wonderful Italian vacation. Thanks again.

It does depend on your personal interests, but I would take a day away from Florence and add it to Venice. We prefer the variety and cultural blending in Venice when compared to Florence.
Also Florence is one of the hottest places in Italy in July averaging 14-15 days over 90 degrees (Venice averages 1), usually with relatively high humidity (avg. 64%) given its river valley setting.
Venice is also high humidity (it is, after all, in the ocean, or an arm of it), but is, on average, 8-9 degrees cooler than Florence during the day when you will be out moving around sightseeing.
BUT if you really, really, really are into Renaissance art and architecture, then Florence might be heaven for you despite heat and humidity. Personally, other than seeing Florence's highlights like the Duomo and David, I get plenty of Renaissance and architecture in Venice, Rome, and other Italian cities. But I'm not a huge Renaissance groupie (though my wife is).

>>>I am trying to fit our travel from one city to another and a day trip into the same day so that I do not lose precious time in check in etc. In car, I can have the luggage with us and check in at the end of the day.<<<
This idea is unrealistic. It may be what you are "trying" to do, but it likely won't be what happens. IMO you will lose more time doing this than taking the train. It will be a schlep from wherever you are staying in Venice to a car rental location. Many don't open until 9 and it's likely you will stand in a line. You will have to get a huge car (one day rentals are usually very expensive) to hold five people plus luggage. Don't think you will walk into a rental office and walk out in five minutes.
>>>I am assuming I cannot possibly fit train travel from Venice to Florence, a trip to Lucca/Pisa the same day. May be I can if I use the left luggage service at Florence…<<<<
You can always train to Florence (two hours) and drop your luggage at your hotel. Visiting Lucca/Pisa after that isn't difficult (although I would stay in Florence that day and do them on Monday), but it would depend on how much time you are planning to spend in each one. If Pisa is only to view the tower (not climb which requires reservations) then you may only need an hour for Pisa. You haven't said what your interest in Lucca is (biking?).
When you get to Pisa/Lucca, there are restricted zones so you will have to park outside of the parts you want to see and walk/bus. It will all take much more time than you plan.
You don't have to see Pisa/Lucca on your travel day. You can train to Florence and tour Florence that day.
>>>@bobthenavigator: thank you for the shuttle link. I am thinking it probably will be easier to use a shuttle service.<<<
Sorry, but I wouldn't use Bob's shuttle as I believe it's a shared shuttle which will be dropping other off at their hotels. If you want a private shuttle, try this one.
Things I think you should really reconsider:
Traveling all the way to Venice on arrival day with three kids in tow. You are talking about an overnight flight + 2-3 hours getting from landing to Rome train station + 4 hours to Venice + maybe another hour getting to hotel.
Renting cars for one day to places that have train stations. Most towns have restricted zones for residents only (do a search for ZTL) so you aren't allowed to drive in them.

Agree about less time in Florence and more in Venice...
I would forget about Murano...and Burano....if you wish to get out of town, go to Lido.
We were in Venice 10 days ago( also ,went to Florence for a day from Bologna to revisit
the Duomo),
The lineups were already very long and the crowds everywhere.
You might need some time to slow down and recuperate from the heat and so many people
Report Abuse
Sounds way too rushed, especially the day you arrive in Italy. My family would meltdown if I made them do all that after such a long flight, with jet lag, etc.
I would also drop any notion of renting a car. You aren't exploring Tuscany, you are visiting places that have easy access by train or bus.
Report Abuse
I agree you are trying to do way too much in 12 days.
Drop Pompeii and go to Ostia as a day trip from Rome.
The drive from Venice to Lucca on googlemaps shows that it is 3.5 hours (that doesnt include any stops for lunch or traffic you might run into so you will likely need to add some additional. Lucca is also on the opposite side of Florence.
You are also not taking into account how long it will take 5 people to get ready to go out in the morning and the fact that most towns will shut up shop from 12 - 2or3 for lunch hour. And I do mean shut up shop, pull down the shutters on the store fronts etc...so it is really only feasible to do 2 towns in one day IF you get into the car before 9am. You will then need to drive to the town, park, and walk into centre. Then the town shuts at 12 you can do lunch or drive to the next and repeat when it opens at 2 or 3.
I would be surprised with 5 people if you could do this even and would plan to get to a town for lunch and then explore after lunch and then head out.
Also if you have luggage with you you are going to need a very large car for 5 people and may not feel comfortable driving close to centres so may need to walk farther.
With 12 days and that many people I would personally pick 2 locations and stay there, taking the train between, and do daytrips using public transit.
Hope this helps!

You really can;t count on Italy being cool in the summer. It simply isn't.
And using a car for the trips you have in mind makes no sense (and this is from someone who has done numerous road trips in europe and loves diriving there). The small towns you are talking about have pedestrian centers and you have to park outside the walls and walk (or bus) in to see the sights. We have done this - BUT we started out at 8 am, did one town in the mornng and had lunch then drove to the second (nearby for the afternoon). Not starting someplace else and renting a car and hauling luggage - but just taking a car out of a hotel garage in a nearby city. You just do not have the hours to do what you are tyring to. And with 5 people, including 3 kids, everything is going to take longer than with a couple of adults.
For everyone to enjoy this vacation you need to be realistic and slow down.
(And can't iagint how to see Murano and Burano is an afternoon unless this is a group tour - the first is a visit to a glass factory and the second is a float by to look at the cut island.
Report Abuse
I agree as well that this sounds like a very rushed trip...however, it is doable if planned well. I would allow until noon on the first day to get out of Rome. Our visit to Venice was similar to yours, three nights and two full days. We were able to do Murano and Burano in just over a half day. Get a 3 day vaporetto pass and learn your stops. I think it was about half an hour to Murano, another 30-40 minutes to Burano, about an hour back to our stop. We didn't care to tour a glass shop and didn't spend a lot of time shopping. Agree with KYbourbon about the train to Florence. Definitely the way to go. The only time I would rent a car would be the drive from Florence to Orvieto. It was gorgeous! Skip San Gim. If you start out early, I think it was only 45 min to Sienna, spend a half day there then head to Orvieto. I would allow about two hours driving time to Orvieto so you can take your time. Rental car return in Orvieto is at train station. There is a hotel just up the hill that will keep an eye on your bags (2-3 euros\bag) Funicular up the hill to Orvieto and walk around for a few hours. Late train to Rome. Hope my 2 cents helps.
Report Abuse
Arrive in Rome and stay.I would not be even thinking of getting everyone on a train for another five hours. I'd pick a hotel with a pool if I could afford it. Then I'd go to Venice spend time there and return to Rome and finish whatever I still wanted to see.

Hi All,
Thanks a lot for all your comments. I am gaining a lot by your insight and I cannot describe the gratitude I feel in words.
@Yostwl: We are not really into Renaissance art and architecture, but Florence is more central to visit Luca/Pisa and to one/two Tuscany hill towns. That is the reason why we have divided the days that way. I am planning to see St. Mark, Square, Rialto bridge, Riato Market, Doge's palace and may be Academia. May take a Gondola Ride and do a canal cruise on Vaperetto #1. I am guessing two days for this would be sufficient. If we can fit in a trip to Murano/Burano, I am willing to give up Academia. Will this work? The temperature is scaring me, but we do not have much of a choice.
@kybourbon: I am dropping the idea to rent a car; I am thinking of going to Florence by train, leave the luggage at the Florence station, and go to Lucca/Pisa and return to Florence in the evening to check in. I want to go to Lucca to just see the town, do not know what is there. Have heard that it is nice to see, if we are planning to go to Pisa for the tower. We might try to climb to the top of the tower. If this can be done in half day, we might do it the next day. Thank you for the shuttle info, will check Rome Shuttle. Kids are fine with long travel and we want to get to Venice the first day so that we are not fighting jet lag in Rome. Did not know about ZTL and hence will have to look that up.
@danon: May drop Murano/Burano. What is in Lido, I thought it is a beach only. We will remember to relax and wander. We might not see many sights, but just see things on the way.
@Peaceout: Actually the day we arrive is ok, I feel. Except for transferring from FCO to Roma Termini and St. Lucoa Station to apt, we would do just fine with enough food and water. Kids will probably sleep in the train. They are used to international travel; gone to India many times with 3/4hrs layover in Europe. Yes, dropping the idea of renting the car on way to Florence. Figuring out Florence to Rome route. May visit only Siena or Orvieto on the way and may not need a car.
@jamikins: I am dropping the idea to rent a car right now. Planning some daytrips. The daytrips might be Lucca and Pisa on the way to Florence, Siena & something else from Florence and Ostia Antica from Rome.
@nytraveler: I am not counting, just wishing… Might drop Murano/Burano or do a guided tour. Trying to cut down as much as possible.
@Afernico: I am trying to fit a variety of things to see and do in and around Italy's most famous 3, assuming I may not return anytime soon. It is a hard thing to do, which is why feedback from all the travellers here is so valuable. You gave a good suggestion about the car trip through Siena to Orvieto and taking train to Rome. Skipping San Gim already. If I can do Siena and Orvieto that will be great. Not sure whether this is doable, based on others comments. Also, have to look into ZTL.
@PatriciaOne: Please see my response to PeaceOut. We have to see Florence. I would love to leave things for another trip, but the second trip to Italy is unlikely for us, at least anytime in the near future. However, I will have to adjust each day for just wandering around. Since our trip starts at Rome and finishes there, we want to go to another city the first day and keep Rome for the end. I have read trip report and realize that Venice would be better for fighting jet lag than Rome would be. We will remember to relax and wander. We might not see many sights, but just see things on the way.
All, please suggest anything else that I cannot think… I appreaciate your feedback immensely. Thanks again!

junk4rp, if you want to see Orvieto, you can avoid any hassles with parking by leaving your car in the free parking lot below the train station and taking the escalator and funicular up into town.

Sure, you can "do" Murano and Burano in half a day. That will give you about half an hour in each place.
Murano is about 20 minutes by ferry, Burano a further 30 minutes or so, so you have two hours taken up by travel. That leaves very little time on dry land (and you have to allow for the time to walk to Fond. Nuove which is where the Murano / Burano ferry departs from.
I think that two nights in Venice is not a lot of time – give it three nights. It takes a while to orient yourself in Venice, and you'll be jet-lagged.
Where is your apartment in Venice? If it is in Dorsoduro, Santa Croce or San Polo, you are a ¾ hour walk from Fond. Nuove for the Murano ferry. I've walked it in ¾ hour, but that's without getting lost, and with very few people around.

Good luck, you are still trying to cram in way too much on each day IMHO, but obviously you think it will work for you. I will say that you leave precious little time for sitting down and enjoying a meal, and food & drink are so much a part of the beauty of Italy. Also do consider that most everything takes a siesta between 12 and 3, so you may find that things closed that you have madly dashed to see. And there are places, like tower in Pisa, David in Florence, that will require either reservations or will have long admission lines. Factor in summer heat too.

Thanks a lot for your review and comments.

Revised itinerary looks just fine.
There's NEVER enough time. If you had endless vacation time, I would suggest 8 nights in Rome and 4 nights in Florence, but you don't - so just focus on what you do have to work with. It looks pretty good and well balanced.
BTW, You absolutely can see Ostia Antica in half a day and see it all. No worries there.
As for 2 days in Florence and 1 in Sienna vs. 3 days in Florence: it's simply a matter of preference.
Which of the two is more important to YOU?
Report Abuse
It is true, when you have jobs to attend with school going kids, there is not enough time to see thr world. So, I am trying to potimize the time we have in hand. That is why I really appreaciate the feedback fellow travellers provide.
About 2 days in Florence or 3 days, I am torn.
I am gathering feedback in another forum too. And based on the feedback I receive, I feel I should allocate a half day more to Rome (making it three full days), take a day out of Florence (making it two days) and using 1 day to go to Pompeii(this was my thought, not validated by others since afater reading about Pompeii vs. Ostia Antica, I feel Pompeii might be more interesting to kids). That kind of distributes 2 full days in Venice, 2 Full days in Florence, 3 Full days in Rome, 1 day trip to Orvieto, 1 day trip to Pompeii and 2 days in the middle for trip to Murano/Burano, Pisa/lucca and travel between cities. Of course, we are not going to see Siena and Ostia Antica, but I guess, we will be ok seeing Orvieto and Pompeii.
Please let me know what I am thinking is doable or not. I am reading each and every feedback and weiging it before making changes. Thanks a lot for your help.

Yes, it's doable. Relax.
That said, there ARE different ways to interpret the phrase "optimize our time".
Some would argue the best way to "optimize" time is to maximize the the number of hours actually seeing and doing things - accomplished by reducing the number of stops and the time spent on trains and buses.
Others interpret "optimize" as seeing the maximum number of different towns and cities, regardless of time "lost".
There's no real answer, you need to determine what is a good balance for your particular situation and group.

I think your revised itinerary looks much better.
Again, let me point out that your weekend in Venice coincides with the Festa del Redentore and the city will be mad/crazy with people. Google it and you will get a better idea of what to expect. On the one hand, it will be cool to see the canal festivities/set-up for the regatta and fireworks (which you will miss if you leave Sunday afternoon); on the other not sure if getting to Murano/Burano will be difficult that afternoon, or more importantly, hard getting back to catch your train. Be aware that the vaporetto schedules could change. Do some research.
Report Abuse
After you (socaltraveler) mentioned about it, I checked about the Redentore festival and learned that the fireworks happen on Saturday late night... not sure how late that would be. So, if we are not too tired we will probably enjoy. I also learned that the regatta is Monday afternoon. Not sure we can enoy that or not if we take a trip to Murano/Burano. Of course, our trip there will depend on transporation situation that day... is there a best way to check?
Report Abuse
We were there for Redentore a few years ago, the fireworks were late, maybe 10 pm, if you can find a place to see them, it was amazing. Going to Murano/ Burano on Sunday, away from the Grand Canal, should be ok, just be prepared for the crowds. I don't know where else you are posting, but if you ask about possible vaporetto schedule changes in the Italy forum at slowtalk.com ( Slow Travel), there are Venice residents who might know the answer.

Experienced Copywriter
As a college graduate who has written hundreds of articles for both publications and on-line, let me produce good content for your site. I have years of experience writing sales copy, presentations, features and benefits, business proposals, sales letters, articles, newsletters, and email. Let me help craft the right message for you. I also have access to other writers that can deliver those 1200 word posts using the most popular keywords so it will rank and the search engines will love to crawl.
Article after article I read about good SEO practices keeps coming back to the same thing…content! That's what drives traffic. Good, readable content. It's the same reason your favorite show, movie, or band is popular. They create good content. There are plenty of crappy bands and shows out there due to bad writing of either the script or the music and it shows in the content. Plus, you need a lot of it to get any traffic. Most sites have very low traffic, believe it or not, except for the big sites like Hufpo, or CNN. But they have legions of writers cranking out good content every day! How do you, the small business person even hope to compete? Hire someone to write for you! This can be done very affordably by hiring a freelance writer, and therefore not on your payroll, and that's exactly the service I can provide. For as little as $500/month I can get you well written keyword-rich articles three to five days a week to post on your blog and on your social media pages. Certainly a lot less than hiring a full-time employee to produce content. This will give you tremendous bang for the buck and will get you more traffic and customers.
