We just bought tickets to Pisa
£26 return, from Stansted. We'll spend a weekend in Pisa and Florence, in 2 weeks.

But it does have an excellent pizzeria where you buy pizza by the metre.
The nightlife involves sitting on the wall by the river. Not any stretch of the river, oh no - a particular stretch around Piazza Garibaldi.

We've been told that by several people now
That's why we'll see the tower, then get the train to Florence and spend the rest of the weekend there.

Any idea how the trains work in Italy? Is it cheaper to buy tickets in advance? And if so, how can I do it (the web page doesn't go that far)?

I went to Venice last year
so it was all water boats.

Try the lonely planet page for it, they're usually pretty helpful with things like that.

We got a coach from Pisa airport to Florence
it was easy enough and by far the cheapest for the 8 of us.

That sounds like a good idea.
I need to do a bit of research on how to get to the Pisa Tower and then Florence. It should be cheaper than the train.

Up? As in, working up from the bottom?
Underboob is seriously under appreciated.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Wed 5 May 2010, 15:05, Reply)

I think underboob is more rude.
So I'd better not.
Remember the Wanna Fila advert?

Alright, PMA!!!
I will.
At some point.
But not on my own that's all.

I've been on holiday by myself
Twice now, in fact. It's not as bad as you might think. (Though I admit on the second occasion it was kind of odd not having a proper conversation with anybody for a week.)

I love my own company,
But being a bird, I think people make the wrong assumptions, so I would feel a bit unsafe.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Wed 5 May 2010, 15:28, Reply)

It's the same for me
I know it's a bit silly, as I've travelled for work on my own plenty of times and nothing bad happened ever. Going on my own to restaurants and clubs and didn't have any problem. But it's not the same, I don't know why, I feel unsafe too going on holidays on my own.

I see
I don't like traveling on my own either. Can't you find someone who wants to go with you?

Florence ain't going anywhere, I hope.
