Trip to Italy (again!)

Hi,

I am posting my itinerary of my trip this year with a friend. I shared the entire itinerary to give you a sense of how my friend and I will be traveling to Italy so no need to comment on the England portion unless you would like to.

Trip: England & Italy
Days: 46
Date: May 3-June 17, 2010
Departure: May 3, 2010 8:45pm
Arrival in Birmingham, England: May 4, 2010 6:30am

Train to Nottingham
Nottingham: 4-5 days (May 4-8/9)
London: 4 days (May 9-13)
London to France (travel south to Nice, Cannes, Monaco, Italian Riviera including Genoa). We were thinking of spending 1-2 days in these places.
Options: (May 13 or 14, 2010) Fly London to Nice with Easyjet OR another airline that is cheaper. We looked at Easyjet would cost us 145 pounds each one-way!

Italy:
Genoa to Cinque Terre (4 days)
Rome (5 days)
Fondi (2-3 days)
Positano, Sorrento, Amalfi Coast & Island of Ischia & Capri (total of 10-12 days). We will be based in Sorrento staying at a friend’s house – a local that I met last year. : )
Amantea (5 -7 days)

I appreciate any positive or helpful feedback that you may have.

Thanks.

What are your interests? That makes a huge difference, of course, and it's surprising how rarely people include that in their request for feedback on itineraries.

For example, your proposed itinerary would not be to my taste, as it is favored too heavily toward beach resorts. I would get bored in CT after two nights, and I would want to spend more time in Rome, Florence, and/or Venice and hilltop towns instead.
