I have no difficulty getting train info from Monterosso to Pisa but cannot get info that I think is accurate from Pisa to Florence. ( I am sure that it doesn't take 9 1/2 hours). Would appreciate any insight on how to do this in a day. THX

maybe you are trying to book to far in advance?
you don't say dates or what site you are searching so there is no way anyone can say what the problem is.

If it says 9 1/2 hours you must have entered a date of travel after the summer timetable change of June 11.
Local trains can't sell out and there are no discounts for advance purchases, you just have to wait.
If you're going to get an italian sim card with internet access, the latest fashion is buying the regional tickets using Trenitalia's app on the day of travel. Of course if you can't switch you mobile on for whatever reason when needed, you are actually travelling without a ticket. I've already seen a couple of grumbling conductors waiting for kids' iPhones to be charged.

Barbspender,
You may check train schedules on, Trenitalia.com.
Choose the following train stations as mentioned by David:
- Pisa Centrale
- Florence = Firenze S.M. Novella
There are several Regionale & Regionale Veloce trains traveling from Pisa to Florence every day.
Enjoy your trip!
