Wake up early in the morning and drive it with no traffic. If you want a primer first, take the bus to or from Sorrento. First bus is like 7a.

If a bus is coming your way, STOP, and give it the right of way through the corner. Many of the traffic jams happen because a car blocked a bus and neither can back up due to traffic behind them.

If you don't go at sunrise, then make sure you have no schedule... The 20 minute drive can turn into two hours.

Also be sure to take the road up to Ravello. Take your pick of two different Michelin restaurants up there. Don't miss the Villa for the views.

Amalfi itself is barely worth stopping. Go to Positano and rent a Rigid Inflatable Boat for the day. Don't rent the fiberglass or wooden boats; too slow and too many rocks to bump into. During the day you can drive yourself faster by water to all the good beaches and take the most incredible pictures. Be sure to bring sausage and cheese on the boat for lunch. Eat at Chez Black and Max's. Have a drink at Le Sirenuese at least an hour before sunset to get a table.

Don't worry about driving in Italy or Amalfi coast. It's no worse than any big city. Just be aware that others are going to drive just as aggressively as you. Buses have right of way even when they shouldn't....

Have FUN!!!!
