wayne is spot on. a med cruise will make you want to jump overboard. i just did this. we actually did the trip two ways. we drove around in a rented van for two weeks, and then hopped aboard a cruise ship full of uptight, cheapskates, and cruised the Mediterranean. the ship portion was the effen fifth ring of hell. no good sites within a long ass bus ride.

honestly, driving around italy was cool as hell. the place is relatively tiny, and with a map you can see ALOT. driveing was easy, once you figure out the toll roads. get a car, pretend to be a local, eat at the roadside restaurants. just dont take my sister and her husband with you. they bogarted the maps that neither of them could read.
