[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP here.  Meant to say it sounds like too many stops for just 2 weeks.  You will spend a lot of time in transit.[/quote]

OP here - and yes this is also what I'm thinking. DH wants to try to squeeze in as much as possible because our kids will be with us. They are early 20's so this could be our last big family trip of this kind. Still with that, I think we could drop Venice from the line up. DS wants to see London. DD wants to see Paris. We all want Italy, but Venice can likely go. [/quote]

Still too much if 2 weeks.  My rule for a substantive city like London/Paris/Rome is minimum 4 days, otherwise it feels rushed and you barely unpacked before you are packing again.  With the transit times that means 3 stops.  I would also not go city-city-city.  We did a trip like that years ago and got worn out by city activities.  Our next one we blended city time with more countryside time and everyone liked it so much more.  If London and Paris are required, I might actually do two flights instead of train rides, and go:

London 4 days
Fly to Milan
Lake Como or Maggiore or Iseo- 4 days
Fly to Paris- 5 days

The flights will be short and easy, and multiple per day so no issue if there are delays, generally.  Northern Italy instead of southern/central to avoid heat.[/quote]
