We're also thinking about Viva Italy in summer '09. But our kids will still be on the young side (5 & 8). Were there kids that young on last trip? If so, how did they handle the walking, sightseeing, etc. Also considering Germany in '09, becasue of the fairy tale/princess connection. Seems more kid-firendly. Any input would be welcome sine this would be the kids' 1st European trip!
