My sweetie and I hope to travel to Italy from the U.S. next year.
This will be our first time in Italy, though not our first time
abroad.  (Between the two of us, we've been to England, Switzerland,

I'm gonna leave Brest (France - Brittany) to go to Milan (Italy).
I'd like to profit by this and visit the rest of France.
The first stop will be Le Havre.

I am arriving in Brussels on Saturday, 10th November and would like to
spend 2 days travelling in and around Benelux, and may be Italy.  Any
