[quote=Anonymous]I think this is doable, but I would approach it from "we are taking a taxi everywhere." This is more of a "sipping cappuccino in a sidewalk café  while the world swirls around you" versus "I will visit the Vatican AND the spanish steps AND the colesseum before noon to check everything off my list! then tour the gelato factory and learn to make pasta and craft a Venetian mask and also go to a mock venetian ball. All on the same day I arrive on my red-eye flight from LA."

Book hotels that have accessible entrances and rooms--ensure that there are no stairs to the lobby for example (although sometimes these very clever lifts are hidden in the steps.)

Book a golf cart tour of Rome, boat tour around Venice. Taxi everywhere around the city. And I mean everywhere--if your restaurant is five blocks away, get a taxi.

Also have really good medical insurance with medical evacuation in case she falls and breaks her hip. (or you get injured and your husband has to fly out to pick both of you up.) [/quote]
