Ciao Lourdes
Thank you so very much for your input. Our itinerary is as follows, I know its all a bit soon but thats me, I do like to do as much preparation as possible also I am very excited about our trip. My wife and myself arrive at Pisa airport on Saturday 1st September and depart Saturday 8th September. I have booked a hire car which we will obviously use to get around some of the time but we do intend to go to Florence and Pisa at least. I have noticed that a thread has been posted ref somebody showing people around Lucca so I will try contacting them to see if the offer still applies, it sounds a great idea and as she says you get to see places that you would not normally see. I look forward to any more ideas and information from the readers, its a really great site and I have already recommended it to other people. Once again thank you.
P.S. We are of the more mature age but very active and friendly.
