suggestions for 9 nights - rome, florence, sienna, almalfi coat

Hello, we are planning to go for 9 nights at the end of May - flying into Rome. any suggestions on how we manage the time? I would like to cover Rome, Florence, Sienna (is that just a day trip, or should we stay over?) and then Amalfi coast, probably staying in Sorrento. Would love to hear any ideas. Thanks!

Kim, assuming you have 8 days on the ground, that seems like a lot of territory. I'd suggest picking two or at most 3 of the locales. How you divide the time depends on your interests (most interested in art or history or scenery or hiking or...). I'd suggest looking at a guidebook to decide what most interests you, deciding how long those individual visits are going to take, and recognizing you'll lose at least a half day of vacation time each time you change locale. That will help you decide how to allocate the days you'll have. I happily spent a week on my first visit to Rome and 10 days on my first visit to Florence, but my interests and style of travel may be quite different from yours.
