A hotel booked for ten days in Rome, plane fight out from Rome...want to see the other towns...what to do?

Question

Hi Guys,
I'll be off to Rome in December for ten days and I'm having a major panic about my hotel situation, it may not seem so complicated to some folks, but I'll be going alone and it will be my first time to take a trip alone.
My dad has booked a hotel in Rome for ten days, but I want to try and get to the other towns as well, like Florence, true enough I can stay for a day and come back the same day, but what if there's something I miss...and seeing the other towns as well. I know I'll be staying in Rome for the first 4-5 days. (I was there last Dec with family) so I know what to do...but beyond that I'm not so sure.
I know I can easily get train tickets for the other towns...I'm not so sure about me staying there, especially with a hotel booked in Rome...I'm afraid of unbooking it, and dealing with no vacancies when I return to it after being in venice for example for a few days.
I hope the question makes sense...
Thankyou.

Answer 1

Since you're traveling alone, I'd suggest not "playing it by ear". Instead make an itinerary, taking into account actual train travel times between the cities, book hotels for the number of nights you plan to stay and definitely change your Rome reservation so that you will be booked only for the nights you plan on staying there. This will ensure that your rooms will always be waiting for you and you will have fewer hassels.
