Hi... What is a good itinerary from Florence to Tuscany area? Florence -San Gimignano-Pisa- Sienna (we will stay overnight)? Thanks Janederm

You might want to look at Googlemaps.com or Mapquest.com to get the lay of the land. Many people stay in Chianti and outside San Gimignano at agriturismos. This area is just 20-30 miles outside Florence, and it's best seen by rental car. I would suggest staying in Florence the first 4 nights, and taking a day trip to Siena on the bus. It's just a 1 hour ride. San Gimignano is another possible day trip by bus.
We especially liked Volterra, a large hill top town slightly off the beaten path southwest of San Gimignano.
