1. I'm all sorted for Florence this weekend! Any last minute suggestions for Florence (or Pisa)? (People have definitely mentioned the dome, and the uffizi. Apparently the top ten are: Uffizi; Dome; Piazza della Signoria and Palazzo Vecchio; Boboli Garden and Pitti Palace; Ponte Vecchio; Gallery academia; Baptistry; Campinile :))

2. I'm going to Luton Airport on National Express first thing Thurs, but no-one fancies giving me a lift instead, do they? I'll take you out to dinner on Sunday :)

3. I'm really really looking forward to seeing some pretty Italy. (And, although it mostly goes without saying, really looking forward to seeing Livredor. Need I convey any greetings from England?)

4. It's unfortunate that very nearly every trip abroad has been from a new airport, to a new airport, by myself, but I've definitely got the hang of it. I still feel a little tired from hotels and public transport directions and things to pack, but never worried :) And I feel very fortunate that L and I seem to help each other a lot wrt logistics.

5. I think I need an autumn/back-to-uni party, probably two weeks on Sat (10th Oct). I know that might clash with numberland's sushi; is there any other reason that would be a bad time?

My tip would be "Don't try and go to the big museum on Mondays because it is closed", but if it's a weekend trip I suspect you have that sorted.

ROFL. I had actually worked that out, but I think it still deserves pride of place on "tips for florence" :) After all, anyone reading this might need to know it when _they_ got to florence :)
