Air Canada, eh?

We've found some awesome deals on airfare to Rome through Air Canada. See link below:

You'll have to connect through Toronto, but we found a deal from Rochester to Rome (for my sister) through Toronto for only $200 roundtrip!

The sale ends January 8th.

Trains from Rome to Florence are pretty much hourly, and the trip is only 1 1/2 hours. The following excerpt is from Frommers.com

Florence is Tuscany's rail hub, with connections to all the region's major cities. To get here from Rome, you can take the Pendolino (four daily, 1 3/4 hr.; make sure it's going to Santa Maria Novella station, not Rifredi; you must reserve tickets ahead), an EC or IC train (24 daily, just under 2 hr.), or an interregionale (seven daily, around 3 hr.). There are also about 16 trains daily from Milan (3 hr.) through Bologna (1 hr.).

Most Florence-bound trains roll into the Stazione Santa Maria Novella, Piazza della Stazione (tel. 800-888-088 toll-free in Italy, or 055-288-765; www.trenitalia.it), which you'll often see abbreviated as S.M.N. The station is on the northwestern edge of the city's compact historic center, a 10-minute walk from the Duomo and a 15-minute walk from Piazza della Signoria and the Uffizi. There are loads of budget hotels immediately east of there around Via Faenza and Via Fiume.

A�But in fact, the history of Legos toys dates back many more
years. Somehow, the adults are also fascinated to have them for their own collection even when they no longer play with them.
The characters included are Rebel pilot Zev Sensca and three Rebel Troopers wearing cold weather clothing and Hoth helmets
and they'll help you defend the hidden Rebel base on ice planet Hoth against the attack of the Empire.

Have a look at my website; lego Spiderman
