I couldn't help myself. I logged into my British Airways account and, seeing all those lovely miles brimming over on my account balance prompted me to quickly spend them. My fingers got all tingly and excited and I just couldn't pry them away from the keyboard! Before I knew it, I was the proud recipient of one email confirmation for one flight to Rome!
So now that's:
One hotel in Rome: Check.
One flight: Check.
Now just to decide what I'm going to do with all of the time I've got there! Due to frequent flier reward flight availability, I had to stay over in Europa for a few more days than I'd anticipated. What a crying shame. I mean, what on earth am I going to do in Europe for four extra days? Hehehe...
As much as I love Rome, I won't be staying there the whole time.
Here's what I'm thinking, tell me if I'm completely nutsoid:
Days 1-3: Rome
Day 3: Fly to Amman, Jordan. Join a Gecko's Adventures tour. This one, to be precise:
Petra to the Pyramids. I'll go with the group from Amman, Jordan and see the ruins at Petra, climb Mt. Sinai, ride a camel, see the Pyramids and Sphinx... you get the picture.
Day... 14ish: Fly from Cairo to Rome. Train from Rome to Napoli. Overnight in Napoli.
Days 15-16: Field trips from Napoli to Capri and Pompeii and back to Rome.
Capri
Pompeii
Days 16-18: Back to Rome for a bit of R&R and a lovely bookend to one crazy hectic trip.
OR: Replace Naples with La Cinque Terra.
One of the cities in La Cinque Terre
OR: I have a friend living in Cairo right now. Maybe I'll just stay in Cairo a few extra days before heading back to Rome. So many decisions!! Must contemplate on this.
What do you think? Is this too ambitious for one trip? ;)
