thanks for the idea, not its cool that would be weird, its wierd though asking people about place in the internet for me... my girl jsut remembered she is part of couch surfing a community online that lets people sleep at there house allover the world... contacting a guy that lives 20 yards from the efflel tower in paris, the sites gonna cut traveling expenses down so much

Re: Florence, Italy

try the wineries in the region. there's more than just chanti to the region. banfi's was my fave when i went, but only because it has alma mater ties.
food-i know this sounds cheesy, but read some travel guides. rick steve really has good taste, albeit expensive taste. and for bang for buck places that's also yummy, the kids who write let's go never disappointed. there's way too many places with ristorante or such written on them with huge signs and you can really waste a whole lot of time with mediocre food if you aren't careful. of course, you have to try the gelato. there was a gelateria right off the piazza where the duomo is that is really good.
and yes, there's way too much touristy stuff, but you should totally take advantage of all the renaisaance art that's in the city. not just the david and the uffici, but all the landmark churches and piazzas. and walking up to the top of the duomo was worth it just for the view.
and shopping. this one is probably for your girlfriend. designer shopping as well as trying your luck at the markets.
nightlife is pretty healthy there in case you wanted to know. i only knew of the bar nightlife though when i was there.
