Ticket Booked

Well after this post it is going to seem like I take a lot of vacations, but actually, I am just doing all of my vacation planning in one evening! Milano Marittima is three nights staying with a friend and a interregionale train ride away!

I spent about 52 hours on the Alitalia website booking my ticket to go down to Positano with my friend who is visiting in June. In the end the plane ticket cost 65 euro more than the train, but the train require about 8 hours more than the plane each way, so we are sucking it up and taking the plane, for a total of $334.70 USD which is OUTRAGEOUS. I blame it on Alpieagles, gas prices, and the weak dollar.

So now I am on the hunt for the least expensive room with a view in Fornillo. I have stayed pretty much everywhere on that side of the town. I have my favorite places but I feel that if I search harder I will find an overlooked pensione that will give me a room for 70 euro a night. Does anyone know of anything? Right now I have quotes for 90 euro a night, but I'm feeling nauseous after booking my plane ticket. Help!

I have no idea of prices :
Casa Celeste; Pensione Maria Luisa; B&B Venere; Casa Guadagno; Villa delle Palme; Pensione Maresca... You've probably tried them already.

I am very salty about the weak dollar!! It's the reason I am not taking a vacation this summer.
