Planning a trip to Rome and Naples with day trips to Tivoli and Pompeii. Is 1 week enough? I feel like reading through 3/4 day Rome and 2 day Naples itineraries, the trip seems rushed. I have unlimited PTO but my SO is limited in time (but luckily he can work extra hrs and then use less PTO).

For reference, I did Venice-Florence-Rome in a week and it seemed okay but it also wasn’t as planned out

Marital advice from points 🐠 please! I’m the points / rewards person in our house. Spouse couldn’t care less.
