Aer Lingus released summer fares at the prices I was hoping to pay. It wasn't my favorite airline when we fly to Paris a few years ago, but this is strictly about price. The people are friendly enough, it's the layover in Dublin that feels like a time warp.
We got open multi city fare for about 700 each. We're flying into Rome to spend three days there and out of Venice after spending four days there after our tour of Amalfi and Florence. I was insane about spending the rainy weather-time reading on the places to stay. It's overwhelming.
I found a post online about a person's favorite spot to stay in Rome and booked it:

Trip Advisor has 42 reviews, mostly favorable. I booked a superior double for 94 Euros a night. Most of the spots offer breakfast with the nightly rate and this place is no different. I requested a quiet room based on some of the reviews I've read.

Venice took some time to book as well. I settled on a bed and breakfast with great reviews:

I booked the Junior Suite with Altana

This place has even better reviews

I chose each place to hopefully experience a bit of residential life in the spots in Italy, a bit off from the main tourist spots.

Excellent. Since you'll be spending a bit of time in Rome I really would suggest When in Rome by Robert J. Hutchinson. Great perspective on the Holy See.
Also, don't fall for the gimmicks outside of St. Peter's and the Vatican Museums. E-mail if you need more info.
