re: Two weeks in Italy. Tell me pros/cons of what I am thinking already...

Ahh...I will throw my suggestion in that Venice can be an incredibly relaxing city to catch your breath. Yes it is tremendously touristy and can be very overpriced, but that description is limited to about a quarter mile square area (approx.). And for good reason as St. Mark's, the Grand Canal, Rialto, etc... are gorgeous. But the rest of the city and surrounding region is varied and peaceful. Great city to get lost in.
