For your first visit to Venice, The water taxi is the way to go, 110 Euro but the experience is worth it every time.  

We checked into Istituto Canossiano San Trovaso, founded in the 18th century. A convent on the Academia side of Venice.  At 100 Euro a night, we had a very large clean room with Terrazzo floors, comfortable beds, and friendly nuns in habits who greeted us when we arrived.

We visited the St. Marcos square and do what most people do here shop and get lost. For Trent it was trying to avoid the birds.

The Highlight of our 2nd day was the Rialto fish market and our trip to Murano, the glass blowing island.

What is a trip to Venice without a meal at Harry's bar. We devoured the best Carpaccio ever, pappardelle with a creamy smoked bacon and saffron infused sauce, finishing with their famous Vanilla Gelato. A must to sit downstairs, and no shorts allowed.

Hands down it was the Gritti Palace.  What set this one apart was that it was blended and the ice made the consistency really frothy and smooth.
After walking 20 miles in 2 days, we boarded the train to Florence.
