We will arrive on afternoon of June 7. Leave the 9th for Florence. Other the Doge Palace is there anything we need to get tickets to see? They are having a huge boat regalia that Sunday so will try to see that. We are staying in an Airbnb near train station.

We attempted to buy a Lakehouse here in KC this weekend after only being on market 2 days. We offered 5k over asking. Had to go back with another offer and lost out. Need market here to get soft. Ha

We will be staying in Varrenna for three days the first week of June. Any must do restaurants or bars you recommend? We will have our 12 yr old picky eater with us, although she did learn last year in Italy to eat plain pizza with olive oil and cheese

re: how hard is it to upgrade my rainbird? UPDATE - Rachio installed! its the tits

Posted by Shotgun Willie on 4/1/25 at 11:01 am

Rachio is the way to go. Bought mine couple years ago when my rainbird sensor wouldn't ever work. The Rachio app is pretty cool because you can just start/stop yourself whenever you want from anywhere. Very easy to setup.

For Rome definitely book a guided tour for the Colosseum and Vatican. We did both last year, do the earliest one you can for the Vatican. We did the underground along with the Forum for the Colosseum. We are going back to Italy this June and are doing Milan, Lake Como, Venice and Florence. I've booked everything myself. We are doing a couple of guided tours, but I mostly bought tickets through the venues themselves (Last Supper, David, etc.)
