So, we're exactly 2 weeks from flying out and plans are starting to snap into place. Almost all of our hotel stays have been booked, and Euros have been ordered, etc.

It's a bit of a mad rush now, feeling constantly unsure and behind, but this holiday is coming whether we're perfectly prepared or not. One change we're considering making right now is flying via Ryan Air between Venice and Rome to make our travel time a little shorter- unfortunately, cutting out our Eurorail first class train trip, but it was slated to take 6+ hours to travel between the two cities.

Nowhere that we're visiting was really effected by the earthquake last week so no changes are being made in relation to that. So far, all major catastrophe's have been avoided.
