What do we need to plan well for our son’s trip to Italy?

t jefferson asked:


My mom is taking our 14 year old son and his two cousins to Italy for a two week trip. They will travel from Rome to Capri and FLorence, Pisa, Milan, and Venice, and Sorrento (for Pompeii.) The schedule, including sights, hotels and restaurants are set, so I can’t pass on any “must see” tips.

However, ‘must brings’ ‘must do before hand’ ‘must know’ ‘must get this innoculation’ ‘must not consume this type of food/wine/ would we really helpful.

I’d like to help him pack well enough, so my son has little to carry, but enough to wear to a nice rest/cathedral and for walking/touring.

Thanks so much for any information you have to share!
I also understand cell phone are different in Europe. Can travelers rent the European standard?

How would you recommend my son take (ie in what form) his spending money. Are there worldwide ATM networks?
They’re going in June. They have a bus tour.

Interesting about the apparel. Our son is actually pretty formal. He does love hats, but doesn’t have a single baseball cap.

He almost always has on pleated trousers and if he’s not wearing a dark button front shirt, he’s wearing his homeschool theatre troupe t-shirts or che guevera t shirt.

    rubber shoes (flip flops) for the showers, even in nice hotels
    small compact umbrella - easier to use and get dry than a rain coat.
    small day-pack - for hat, sunscreen, water bottle
    camera and cards etc.
    When I was there last I was approached by many folk (mainly American) to ask if they sold batteries/film/etc in Italy! Yes they do.
    It is mainly a cash economy so you should make inquiries at your bank about accessing cash in the places they are going. i.e. very few places accept credit cards and the ones that do charge at least a 1% fee to do so.
    Tell him to listen and look, take heaps of photos and read up about the places he’ll be going before he goes. You wouldn’t believe the daft questions that people ask…like why did they build the bell tower at Pisa on a lean?
    tell him to have fun!!
