This is a continuation of Review 1.
I would like to write it in the form of a monologue diary. I hope that my recent review in 2024 will be of some help to your trip!
It was more cumbersome than I thought to frequently pack my carrier luggage while traveling to 6 accommodation, including 3 accommodations in Paris and 3 accommodation in Italy. On the positive side, I unpacked only the necessary items and quickly packed them. Thanks to this, my skills in unpacking, packing, and organizing my carrier luggage improved. After experiencing this, I thought it was better to stay in one accommodation in Paris, so when deciding on my next travel accommodation, I will try to move my accommodation as little as possible. I will continue to write additional reviews for each day of my trip, including which accommodations I stayed at.
The illumination show at Disneyland started at 11 PM, so I chose a accommodation near that area, but the subway (RER line) was still running after the illumination show ended. In addition to the subway, there was also a shuttle service. In Rome, I had to pack my carrier luggage in the middle of my stay because the accommodation included a room change. There was the fun of using various accommodations and the joy of getting to know the area around the accommodations. However, since the time spent packing and moving can be used elsewhere, I should consider carefully when choosing the next accommodation. I think I will be able to make a wiser choice on my next trip if I gain this experience.
Since I had the opportunity to go to Europe, I thought about planning for a month, but since each day would require additional time and money, I hesitated. I decided to travel for about two weeks and then spend time preparing for employment. Two weeks was a good budget for enjoying activities and day tours and comfortably eating delicious food and desserts. Thinking about my next trip to Europe, I decided to experience Europe for two weeks first.
I decided to go to France, Swizerland, and Italy and take a train to gradually go down, but I decided to go to just two places, France and Italy, because I wanted to see more of Italy. I decided to thoroughly enjoy Italy, which was the country I wanted to go to the most, and France, which my friend wanted to go to the most. Instead, I discussed stopping by the Dolomites, where you can see the Alps, to see the Swiss view from northern Italy. Since it takes quite a long time to travel from Paris, France to Italy by train, I looked up a way to fly to Venice, Italy. I decided to fly because it would save time and the cost was reasonable. After checking reviews to see if EasyJet was good, I installed the EasyJet app and paid with a credit card.
I checked the size requirements for carry-on luggage and made sure it weighed less than 10kg, so I could bring it on board instead of checking it in. The first reason was that it was easy to carry around since there are many stairs in the European subway. The second reason was that I felt comfortable taking it on board because I was worried that there might be a problem with my luggage when using EasyJet.
My Italian itinerary was confirmed to be Venice, Florence, and Rome. I thought about stopping by Milan for a bit, but I ultimately ruled it out. I decided to take a detailed look around Rome and book a southern tour that departs from Rome and stops at Pompeii and Positano.
I also considered taking a packge tour. Although it was convenient to travel, considering the opportunity cost, I concluded that independent travel was better. Even if I traveled with a package, I only had to share accommodation and transportation, and the daily schedule was similar to independent travel, so I thought about pursuing the convenience of transportation or accommodation. When there were variables that I wanted to rest or visit different places, unlike the planned schedule, I was inclined to plan a more free route and go with a package.
There were also some parts where the airfare would differ if I wanted to fit the pakage, and there were some undecided parts such as which day of the week I would do the day tour and which day of the week I would do the night tour, so I chose independent travel. Since I made up my mind a month in advance and made the plan, I tried to find out as much as I could, but I wanted to change the route flexibly. Even if I planned an independent travel, I could travel to distant places through a day tour and get information from the guide. I wanted to enjoy the experience of choosing accommodation and taking the train as part of the trip. I thought a lot about which day tours to do, but I decided to make the most of the various day tours. I was worried about the safety of the streets at night, so I also booked a night tour. I decided to use the Paris Museum Pass and the Rome Pass in Italy later to see how things would work out.
I thought about how to plan my route, where to visit first, what to see, what time to take the train, and how to prioritize the places I wanted to visit and what day of the week to arrange them. I also searched and checked the weather. After that, since the days available for day tours are limited, I made a reservation first and arranged the places I wanted to go to freely instead of on tours, and then I wanted to change the order if possible depending on the situation.

I made a rough plan based on the places I wanted to visit and the day tour. I will organize the specific route and accommodation review one by one in the future. I want to write about how I moved around by travel timeline, where I visited and toured, and how the day tour was.
I hope that even one of the things I experienced will be helpful for you to plan a good trip!
