Well, I am so used to asking you all advice............ 
Phil, being an artist, has always had a dream to visit Italy - the place of Raphaels' childhood
We were all set for Phil to need surgery this year but, as his surgeons have decided otherwise, I'm planning our Summer 2006 trip
I've found a package holiday (with Airtours) but this doesn't really take into account any extra costs that come with having a disability
The package cost is approximately £2,461 (ok, so maybe not be so approx )
Going online and choosing separate flights etc I've come up with:
Flights to Rimini £675
Accomodation £2,150, full board, in a 2 roomed apt - important if Phil feels too unwell to spend time with myself or DD
There is a 2 roomed apt at :
http://www.hotelmadisoncattolica.com/eng/hotel/index.htm
Carhire to allow him to visit the sites of his dreams: £500 for 2 weeks or £166 for 5 days (I, unfortunately, am only able to drive an automatic car)
We have an art charity (Artists General Benevolent Institution - just in case anyone wants to donate ;-)) that have helped us out of many a tricky situation.
They paid for our limo hire for our recent Florida vow re-newal and have helped us in so many ways when Phil has needed surgery.
They have offered to pay for our 2006 trip to Umbria.
I am in the process of trying to organise an August trip.
If anyone can advise / offer alterntive information.....
The dates should, hopefully be 1st - 15th August.
In the Catollica area,
child friendly.
Chauffeur driven car - although I, personally. would prefer to rent an automatic car (all I can drive!)
Any ideas?
