Our
ABD Rome and the Amalfi Coast trip is 6/16 thru 6/22. We are taking Eurofly on the way out too (very worried about that) and Eurofly on the way back. We are trying to (somehow) get to Rome after the ABD trip ends on 6/22 (any recommendations?) and we are scheduled to fly Eurofly out of Rome on 6/23 (the next day). We have a one hour layover, that's it, yikes in JFK before we have to board a plane to Orlando on Jetblue...hopefully we'll make our flight. Was customs awful--did it take forever? I've been tracking Eurofly and it's almost always late- yikes!
To get to Rome, just ask your Adventure Guides to help you plan the trip by rail. It's what they suggested as the best option and I'm sure they'll be happy to help you plan it out.
You might be cutting it close on making your connection, but hopefully Eurofly will leave Italy on time for you. We had a couple hours before our connection and jogged most of the way to make sure we'd get to our LA flight on time. Fortunately, that flight was delayed a bit, so we made it with no problem. Don't get too scared when you see a big line at customs in NY... it's for visitors. The residents line only took a few minutes and we sailed right through the whole process. Depends, of course, on how many other flights are coming in at the same time as yours, but we experienced no delay at all.
I'll keep my fingers crossed that you don't experience the same kind of delays we did with Eurofly.
Did you the find the amount of walking on this tour strenuous?
How did you pack? ....Did you take mostly casual/resortwear clothing? Did you take anything dressier? What did you find to be most appropriate for this tour?
Did you notice if the Hilton had Wifi in the rooms and/or the lobby?
We leave out of Naples... wish I had known of the trouble.. but the airfare is booked and paid for.
The walking was not strenuous. Even with my ankle problems, I had no issues getting around. The longest walk was the tour of Rome, but there are enough stops along the way that it's quite easy to handle.
I packed as light as I could manage. I wore only comfy slacks (left the jeans at home in favor of pants that would pack a little thinner) and t-shirts. Some people wore shorts, others jeans. No one seemed out of place. Every spot you'll go to is a tourist destination, so I think you'd have to try pretty hard to stand out like a sore thumb. The only night you'll really need something nice for is the Farewell Dinner night. At that, just a dresser shirt or a simple dress or skirt will do the trick. Some people dressed a little better for the Zi'Ntonio dinner night, as well, but I was still dressed from shopping and didn't feel out of place. Do bring along a light jacket, in case it gets cold in the evening or rains a bit.
I think the Hilton did have computer hook-ups in the rooms (not wi-fi), but I believe there was a charge for it. They also have a business center in the lobby where you can rent computer time.
For Napoli Airport, just make sure your Adventure Guides arrange to get you to the airport plenty early. I think we should have been there about an hour earlier, which would have avoided all the headache. If your guides are Leo and Davide (and they probably will be), just let them know the 4 crazy girls (who traveled with Barbossa) on the May departure said they need to take you to the airport earlier! I think they'll remember us!
Take care, and I'm glad the ankle didn't give you too much grief.
