Rome - Abruzzo/Teramo - Venice
Rome - Abruzzo/Teramo - Venice
We are planning a return trip to Italy in April 2011. Our trip will start out with a visit to Abruzzo. From there we will take the night train to Venice for a day and a night, then we'll head to the "Eternal City" and the hills of Rome for the remainder of our visit.
Fun, Family, Food and Adventure await us all!

#2 (Thursday - Sunday) Tour the Abruzzo region for 4 days, visiting the land of our grandfather, Mario De Federicis, and our Italian cousins in Teramo.
#3 (Sunday night - Tuesday morning) Travel to Venice. This part of the trip will be fast and furious as we take the night train and arrive in Venice early Monday morning. We plan to spend all day Monday and early Tuesday here, which will give us plenty of time to enjoy the major attractions including the Grand Canal, St. Mark's Square and Basilica, the Rialto Market, and romantic gondola rides.
#4 (Tuesday) Leave Venice and travel by train to Rome. Some of you may want to consider an optional stop in the beautiful Renaissance city of Florence since there is a direct train line that runs between these three major cities - Venice - Florence - Rome . If you choose to do this, it would make the most sense to stay for a day or two in this exciting city located in the heart of Tuscany before continuing on to Rome.
#5 After a few exciting days in Rome, we plan to spend the last day of our trip in Velletri, an ancient village in the hills south of Rome.
