Ok i am hoping that paragraph breaks are now working because id like some critiquing of my itinerary for my trip in June next year.. yeah i know its early, but i start university next week and i will be sooo busy until i graduate in may and then we leave! so im trying to finish most of it now. Anyways we are planning 3 days in each stop, which includes Paris, Venice, Florence, Sorrento, and Rome. We are flying open jaw, and have also decided on flying from paris to venice on easy jet. so mostly i am looking for advice on my choices for the day trips, and also whether id be better for me to leave the night of the third day or the morning of the first day of the new city. My itinerary goes like this: Day 1 - arrive in paris in the morning; sightsee.... Day 2- versailles during the morning and afternoon; paris in afternoon and evening.... Day 3- Sightsee in paris; (Leave tonight by air?)...... Day 4- (fly to venice by air?); arrive; sightsee.... Day 5- sightsee in venice.... Day 6- Lagoons; day trip?; (leave for florence?).... Day 7- (leave for florence?) Arrive; sightsee in florence.... Day 8- day trip to Pisa; Lucca; sightsee night in florence... Day 9- either more florence or siena... Day 10- Leave for sorrento; arrive and visit naples; on to pompeii to sightsee; night in sorrento... Day 11- day trip to capri; night in sorrento... Day 12- Day trip?; (leave for rome?).... Day 13- (leave for rome?); arrive in rome; sightsee.... Day 14- Vatican city; sightsee rome... Day 15- sightsee rome.. Day 16- Fly home :(

It would help if you would clarify what you meant by this: "also whether id be better for me to leave the night of the third day or the morning of the first day of the new city"

yes.. ok so i planned 3 days in each city.. so for example, would it be better for us to leave paris the night on the 3rd day, or the next morning (which would be the first day of the 3 days in venice).. if that makes any sense?

Day 10 looks not so feasible; travel time, waiting to connect to transportation, etc will eat into the time available that day. People often find getting from point A to B in Italy takes longer than it looks like on paper.

On leaving at night versus the next morning. Depends on whether flying, train, or driving. Driving at night long distances in Europe, most people find is more difficult than they thought, route finding, etc. Trains: many travelers find they don't get much sleep on night trains. Flying: Feasible to fly in the evening, if you don't arrive at the destination so late that getting to your hotel becomes more stressful than the saved time is worth.
