Damn, Stephen, thank you VERY much for the writeup. We are staying about 3 or 4k outside the city and planned on doing the beach, Sienna, Florence, and Pisa as daytrips. The kids really want to do Pisa but we've heard the same thing as you stated--a tower.
We have a week at the house outside of Lucca really with no definite plans.
After week one, we'll be headed south, and inland, for another week in Barbarino Val D'elsa at a place called Il Paretaio. There, the girls (and maybe me) will ride horses, and I will drink wine and read during the daytime.
So I am all ears as to day trip recommendations. We tend to just drive around and see what happens on these trips and always find the best village/restaurant of the trip that way.
Thanks again for all the advice--you guys are great! Jack
