italia...ci

my neck feels so stiff now. that is the result of sitting in front of the pc one whole day...besides going out to walk the dog. imagine walking the dog at -2C. it snowed for a while...only 10 mins then the sun was out again. there were other ppl walking the dog in the area too, so max's walk was cut short to only 15 minutes. yeah...i was happy. haha

then sat in front of the computer planning the itenary to italy. sigh...in the end...it is done now...only the flight ticket.
oh, for non EU citizens, u cannot do online check-in with ryanair. they should come out with this pop-up message when i could not do my booking lah!

i will be travelling to italy from frankfurt hahn airport. from frankfurt to rome...and coming back to frankfurt from milan. so i am going from south to north. i hope the train service will be efficient and i can buy my rail ticket when i get there. i can buy eurorail pass, but it comes at a more expensive price and aunt can't buy it, they only allow non EU residents.

5/12/08 rome until 10/12/08 milan.
journey route: rome-florence-pisa-florence-venice-milan

have to psyched myself to be brave and aggressive in handling those italians. hope aunt won't chicken out at that time...then i really have to worry. of course there are tales of infamous italian pick pockets and street pushers. will be as hard as stone.

have not booked hostel yet...hoping that aunt can find some of her friends contacts there and get free lodging. keep my fingers crossed. will look into booking train tickets in italy tomorrow. http://www.trenitalia.com/

if anyone has any recommendations...please give. it can be scary.
