Lake Como for 5 nights might be too much. What you're planning to do there?
Consider Milan (i'm from here and based here) is less than 1hr by train from Como, and that from Milan you can head to Cinque Terre for a weekend.
Venice from Milan, by train, is less than 3hrs.

Any "craft beer" bar recommendations for Milan Anto? Went to a couple of good ones last year but can't remember what they were called or where they were.
Preferably fairly central (20 minutes' walk from the Duomo or a few Metro stops).
Also somewhere that will definitely be showing the Italy v Scotland rugby on the 27th in the unlikely event I get away from work.

In Paris this coming weekend, anyone recommend any french pubs to watch France v Ireland?

The Temple Bar in Rue Princesse is where you want to be, we watched some of the World Cup games there.
There are several pubs down that street that show the rugby (some of the owners are rugby fans) but the best one was The Temple Bar.
I'd asked a Parisian colleague for recommendations and that was where he suggested.
Andy's friend wrote: The best area to watch rugby in Paris is Saint Germain des prés as there are lots of bars and pubs owned by rugby lovers, there will be a cool atmosphere there for sure.
Basically the triangle between the tube stops “saint germain des pres”, “odeon” and “saint sulpice” is packed with cool places like the “little temple bar”, the “eden park pub” etc… Rue Princesse is the best address to put in your mobile.

Cheers. I think the Baladin on Via Solferino was one of the ones I was at last year.

I'm going to Rome for 5 days in April. So far I've booked the Vatican museums and listed various restaurants I intend to go to. Any tips? I'm especially interested in the best day trips to go for.

The extended Colosseum tour that takes you down into the pits is worth a go if you've not been before. I'd look at Pompeii as well although we didn't have enough time to do it.

Anyone been to Bolivia? Thinking of going as part of a longer trip in S. America. Worth it?

Big fan of Bolivia, liked it more than Peru personally. Where else are you going and for how long?
