I've been pouring over the excursion trips (yet again) for our day in Naples/Capris. I'm sure there's something else I should be doing, but as whatever it is isn't readily coming to mind, so Italy it is!
It looks like the Pompeii excursion, which lasts is a four hour trip, has a morning options (leaving at 8:15) and an afternoon option (leaving at 1:30). Herculaneum has just one excursion, at 1:30 pm. Additionally, there is the Naples Archeology Museum and Pizza Tasting excursion, which is also four hours long, that begins at 8:30 am. Obviously, we have a number of options here: Pompeii/Herculaneum, Naples/Pompeii, Naples/Herculaneum, Pompeii/Herculaneum.
Paying for two excursions is tantamount to purchasing a more expensive one, like the Sorrento & Pompeii trip, for example, but how determined are you to see Naples? After a day in and about Rome, it might be nice to spend some time in the country. The problem is that I just don't want to miss anything. So many possibilities!
Speaking of Rome, I think the Roma Archaeological pass you mentioned is a fabulous idea. If memory serves me correctly, the Palantine Hill is one of the seven hills of Rome, as well as being one of the oldest parts of the city. It's part of that myth about Romulus and Remus, twin brothers raised by a she-wolf. The brothers lived in a cave on the Palantine Hill and grew up to found Rome (can you tell that I revised the Latin I courses at work recently?). While we're seeing the glory that was Rome, I think we'd be well served to pay a visit to the Hill.
Also, Rome is the called the Eternal City because, in it's 2,000 year history, it's always been the capital city of whatever country/empire it's part of. Pretty amazing, isn't it?
