help! i'm organizing our annual intergenerational family vacation and am worrying about one of the transfers. we'll be in the perugia area for a couple of weeks and then head to rome for 3 days before everyone flies home.
our group includes five-year-old twins, 3 grandparents in their 70s and 80s, and everything in between. we have one person with mobility issues who uses a wheelchair when traveling.
we can either drive from our rental house in umbria to rome, in which case we would drop everyone off at the airbnb near campo de fiori then return the cars (just outside the center, not to the airport). we have already rented 2 minivans which seat 7 each, so it will be very tight with luggage even tho we are all very light packers. we cannot pull up to the apartment, but there is a parking area closeby enough where we can stop and drop off.
or, we can drive to perugia, return the cars there, get everyone on the train and then taxi from stazione termini to campo. we did a similar thing last year in madrid and used the train, but our hotel was less than a mile from the station and madrid is an easy city to get around by taxi. also, there are very few daily direct trains from perugia to rome.
we can also split the group up and send the teenagers and their parents by train and take the youngest and the oldest by car.
with this crew, i know no transfer is going to be seamless, but do any of the options seem clearly worse or better?
