Only a few weeks left

I think I have finally finished. I have just purchased what I think (and hope) is the final travel purchase in preparation of this coming vacation. I went out this weekend and bought myself a band new suitcase. My old one was just fine, but I needed something a little larger to hold several weeks of clothing in. The other purchase I made were train tickets.
Here is my current plan for this trip: I fly to Venice on 9/24 where I have made a hotel reservation for a few days so I can check out the city. On 9/28, I take the train to Florence where I hope to see the city as well as possibly take a day trip or two to one of the following places: Sienna, Pisa, Lucca or Arezzo. On 10/4, I take the last train ride - to Rome. I have reserved an apartment in Rome only a few blocks from the Roman Coliseum. I can't wait to see the museums and architecture of Rome & Vatican City. I get over a week to check out this amazing city and then on 10/12 I fly back to LA.
