Florence reservations!

This is a picture of people waiting in line to get into the Uffizi Gallery!

I am ecstatic this morning, because we now have reservations for the Accademia and Uffizi galleries in Florence. These are two very popular places and everyone recommends getting advance reservations. The lines are reported to be very very long. So now we have confirmation numbers and a designated time for each of them. All we have to do is find them and have 28 Euros cash in hand to pay. (The tickets were 10 Euros each plus 4 Euros handling.) You may be interested in how to make international calls. Here's how it works:

011 gets you outside of the United States

39 is the country code for Italy

055 is the city code for Florence

294 883 is the local number for Florence Museums reservations

Because we don't have long distance service on our home phone I used a calling card I bought at Sam's Club, which had to be accessed before calling 011 39 etc. The good news is it worked! Yay!
