Any help would be appreciated!

It's just what you thought. "for a reservation an email confirmation is enough. Payment is not required until arrival. Greetings, Sister Francesca"
delalluvia:
Thank you so much.
The B&B replied in English this time:
confirm the double room
single use for two days.
Check in April 16
Check-Out April 18
For the payment made
arrival in Pompeii.
Goodbye.
See you soon.
B&B
POMPEI
I guess that means I pay when I show up? I REALLY don't like not having a reservation and confirmation number, but I guess there's nothing much I can do if I"m staying at these mom & pop places.
Just booked my flight.
I wanted to fly into Venice and then out of Rome, but apparently I can't do that without jacking up the airfares ridiculously.
So I'm flying in and out of Rome. Guess I'll have to take the train or puddle jumper from Rome to Venice.
I'm sweating my flight back, though. I leave at noon out of Rome, but I'll be in Pompeii, so I'd have to take the train from Pompeii to Rome and I think I can make it if I get up early enough, but the train schedules won't be up until maybe as late as February for April, so I won't know until then.
*sigh*
Maybe I'll just spend one night in Pompeii and come back to Rome a day early so I don't miss my flight.

Yay, congrats! :)
It's such a great feeling to do that, isn't it?

It's not like I'm going to wear white or anything.
And it's just in Venice.
I'm staying at a monastery in Florence. ;D

Only that someone should warn the nuns--and the monks in Florence, I guess--to be prepared for lightning strikes. ... ;D
Are you sure that convent in Venice isn't like a "nunnery" as Shakespeare used it in Hamlet? ???
Actually, that does sound like it could be kind of a neat place to stay. :)

:laugh: Actually no. I'm so incredibly terrified of flying, I always feel like I've signed my own death warrant when I book a flight for myself. If I change seats, I'm instantly worried that I might have gone from a plane crash survivor seat to a dead one. I've been unable to sleep well for days making these plans.
