Italy Itinerary

I've been reading like mental and doing all kinds of research on where to go in Italy. Throughout this process I've been cutting and pasting snippets of maps from the various regions and doing write-ups on the attractions sourced from the net. Who needs Lonely Planet anyways!

So here's what I figure, If anyone can add to this I'm always grateful for suggestions:

Start of Trip:
Fly into Palmero (Sicily)
I'm thinking of renting a car to go around Sicily and visit Taormina, Catania, Messina, Agrigento and the Valley of the Temples, Noto a UNESCO a World Heritage Site, and the Aaolean Islands.

From there will catch a Ferry to Naples and explore that region as well as the Amalfi Coast which includes the fishing villages of Positano, Capri, Ravello, Ischia and Sorrento.

Then off to Rome and surrounding Area (includiong Vatican City)

Then Florence and Area including Pisa, San Gimagnano and Bologna

Then off to Genoa and La Spezza where I heard of the Cinque Terre, a collection of 5 fishing villages that one can hike to in about a day. It's a UNESCO world Heritage site and aparently quite stunning. By this time I'll need to get some excerise in so a hike between fishing villages would do me well :)

After this i'll train it to Milan to check out some fashion action before training off to Venice before heading out to Austria!

Thats the Italian Plan, woo hoo!. A product of my hard earned hours at work!
