We just got back from a week in Florence and I want to thank everyone for their tips on different things to see and do aside from the guidebook. We had a great time and can't wait to go back.

  - I ended up wearing black most of the time, with sandals and a beige jacket. I needn't have worried about appearance - June is all tourists in Florence and everyone wore sandals and summer wear. I did see some gorgeous Florentine women dressed very nicely but they were in the minority, and weren't charging all over the city looking at art and architecture. The food was great, the ice cream was superb and my dh loved it - can't wait to return next year.

  - Apples and oranges, but frankly I've never heard anyone else say this. If you go to a resort, yes, but the cities are pretty f'ing bleak.
