During our online chat (most Mondays at 2 p.m.), you ask and we answer your questions -- mostly. Here's one we couldn't answer last week.

We're planning to hit Florence and Positano on our honeymoon. How do we get from Florence to Positano?

Trains do not run all the way from Florence to Positano, which is on the Amalfi Coast. You will have to take a 3 1/2 - to five-hour train ride to Naples, then a Sita bus from the city's Piazza Municipio. The quickest bus goes by Pompeii and Vietri on its way to Amalfi. Buy tickets at news agents or tobacconists. Info: http://www.sitabus.it/. In the summer, boats travel from Naples to Sorrento and then on to Positano. Info: http://www.metrodelmare.com/.

In Positano, the main activity is lounging on the beach and eating up the cliff-top views. If you feel motivated, Pompeii and other archaeological attractions are nearby. Info: Italian Government Tourist Board, 212-245-5618, http://www.italiantourism.com/.
