2Princessesintow--thanks for the stroller information. I've seen UppaBaby strollers but I've never thought much about it....I will try it out at the next BabiesRUs we go to and see if the strap will work out for us. Thanks!
Heatherbelle--thanks so much for the PAYG phone info! We've decided to get our phones at Tesco since they are everywhere. Great tip about using O2 over Virgin Mobile, and thanks for the link to your other thread. Will definitely be reading it for planning info.
--One question--Capri....we're skipping Capri during our Naples stop to do a private tour of Sorrento, Positano and Pompeii. Would you skip Sorrento or Positano to try to fit in Capri? I know you have to take a boat, etc. I'm not sure we'll have time. I've wanted to go to Positano ever since I've seen "Under the Tuscan Sun." That Marcello is very convincing.
You are welcome.
When we were in the Med the weather was unbearable over 90 degrees most days and everyone got very tired. It was worse than the sapping heat in Florida during August. Think dessert type heat and you will be along the right lines. I would choose one or the other. Our plan A was Pompeii and Sorrento by train, but it was just hot and by this stage we were shattered from all of the travelling the previous days. So we went with plan B, Capri. I have always dreamed of going to Sorrento, and Positano but I am sooooo glad we went to Capri. This year we plan on catching the hydrofoil to Sorrento and depending upon the how attractive I find the ship ( I am not on DCL) we will head back to the boat, and if I don't like the ship we may stay ashore for longer and go to Herculleum instead of Pompeii. I would love to do the tour you describe, but my DS would probably hate it to be honest. It will have to wait until it's just the 2 of us.
For those who love the village of Positano you haven't seen anything until you have been to Cinque Terre. A must for all those who love Italian Villages. Also really easy to do on your own.
