I can help you w/ Venice. We basically went around venice. Took the gondola (boat) ride around town. Stopped into the shops. We ate in the Chabad restaurant. I have no idea the name, location or phone number. Sorry Crying

But if ur going in the summer-whew its hot!! Dress lightly

Best off booking a train in advance on the internet. They can get pretty busy (so I heard). Also, you save money this way.

I live in Israel and I also want to do the italy vacation thing...I heard though that it comes out to be a couple thousand dollars...is it worth it? Did any one here already go and know about average how much they spent?

Venice is so beautiful. I really enjoyed my (too-short) visit there. Definitely go to the Doge's Palace in San Marco Square.

It used to be the ducal residence, but now it's a museum. It has some really cool stuff.
