We highly recommend buying a DK Top 10 Travel Guide if you ever plan on going somewhere. The books are great, small, and have maps in them. We bought one for every city we went to (that was available through them) and loved them. Also, I recommend going to VRBO.com to look at places to stay before going through hotels and hostels. I usually found good places that were pretty inexpensive through this. If you are traveling with 3+ people it is very ideal.
Happy Travels!
Nice lists! I love it. It's so cool you got to see so many places. I'm glad I got to go to Rome with you!
