We will be leaving for Italy on 6/12, one month from today. We still to buy train tickets. Should we also start thinking of making restaurant reservations? I’ve noticed I have the beginning of our trip planned out and less so at the end. Take a look at our schedule below and give me any suggestions you think would be helpful. We can’t change things we’ve already purchased obviously so I’ve indicated things we’ve purchased.
