<font color="119911">hey tinkerstar, I'm thinking of going to italy and greece too! I've always wanted to go to italy. I've been to greece but my FH hasn't and he would like to go. Few things to consider:
1. Nov is closing in on winter, though italy and greece will not be as cold as the northwestern parts of europe like france and london.
2. In Nov, most of the shops and attractions will be closed so there might be limited places you can go. Restaurants and bars will be closed too
3. In the greek islands (i assume you want to go to mykonos, santorini etc?) the weather may not be perfect to go sun tanning and swimming, it will not be THAT cold. But again, shops and hotels may be closed.
For me, I LOVE cold weather! I must have cold weather or I'll melt. So I don't mind going to Italy and Greece. My only worry is that shops will be closed. Somemore I'm thinking of going in dec, christmas time but that's lagi worse than nov. But the thought of spending christmas in rome is just so.... romantic!</font>
