Anyone been to Italy?

Well, if you did go to Italy alone, you'd probably have fun (maybe more fun than you'd have with your sister! ::)). On my first trip there, I met a woman who was traveling alone and really enjoying it. Admittedly, she'd been in Italy before.
Another idea, though, is to go ahead and make the reservations as if you were going to have the trip that you have in mind. Check their cancellation rules, but often -- maybe it's harder in Italy -- you can back out up to a certain point and not have to pay.
If you stay in Tuscany you'll only be able to conveniently see Florence and small towns. If you want to see Rome, which I highly recommend, don't lock yourself into an 11-day rental.

I was kind of thinking the same thing. :(

Same here. I am one of those people who does not tire of my own company.

I have no intention of being stuck in one region. While I love the Tuscany area, Rome is my main goal in Italy, Venice is my second. I daresay if I or both of us went with such a rental, we'd take the train to other parts and pay the extra expense to stay overnight in these cities to tour. I think that extra expense would more than eat into any money we might have saved. Which is why that sort of rental was my sister's idea and not mine.

Same here. That's a good sort of person to be. :)

Sure enough, but in Italy I bet you'll also want to be in the company of Italians, at least to some extent. You probably know this, but my advice is to get hold of some learn-Italian DVDs and listen to them whenever you're in the car. Or put them on your iPod. The better you can speak Italian when you get there, the better off you'll be, and the more social you can be. Plus, it's a lovely language, and not hard to learn if you already know a romance language.
BTW, this might sound nationist or sexualist or something, but IMO there are a lot of spectacularly beautiful Italians, of all genders. The first time there, my friend and I were constantly parlando back and forth about all of the belli uomi. After a couple of days, we didn't even bother to point out anybody below an otto or nove.
