Hi, I took me and my friend with my airmiles too (yay for us!) in January.  We were on  a budget too.  We first got to Rome and took the train into main area.  We stayed at a great hotel that my friend found for a good price through one of the cheap hotel sites.  We asked for high floor and they gave us the top floor with  a balcony and we could see all of Rome, it was beautiful.  We paid much less for the three nights than what the room was listed for. Then we used a site called www.hostelbooker.com for Florence adn Venice.  We found affordable B&B's for both and the one in Venice upgraded us to thir hotel  because we had so much luggage.  For food we mostly went to (I think this is hos it is spelt) tratatorria's (cafes) that had lunch specials for three courses for 7-10 euros. cokes were crazy prices 4 euros for a can , so the house wine was the same price for a1/2 liter so we stuck to that, which was fun.  Or we went for pizza a few nights, all the food is so delicios anywhere you go, so you don't have to worry about going to fancy places for good food.  The sights like the colliseum and museums were about 6-10 euros to get in to. We bought our train tickets before we left so that made it cheaper for some reason.  I bought some sovenirs but not tons.  Venice was pretty expensive, just the water boats and stuff but we still found the cafes the best to eat in and stuck to the wine.  Also for lunch there was great littles place that Italians just stood outside and ordered a sandwich and a glass of wine and it was the best sandwich I ever tasted.  Anyway we were there for 8 days and we spent somewhere between 800-900 dollars each.  Have a good trip.
