In anticipation of Arrival Day

I have arrived at Rome's FCO many times but this time I am staying for 6 weeks and I am super excited to get to my apartment and explore my new neighborhood. I have a small, one bedroom apartment in the Aurelio neighborhood. It is about 3.5KM east of Vatican City. All of Rome's historic center is very walkable but, this trip, I plan to also learn my way around on the subway. It will be colder than what I am used to with temperatures in the low 60's during the day. Still lovely for walking but I want to go further afield and do more exploring of areas I haven't yet been to. I have a very long list of things I want to see and do plus many sites I love to visit every time I am there.

I also plan to take a couple of 2 day trips - one to Florence and one to Pompeii. I will travel by train early and spend a night in each, maybe longer if I want to see more.
