If you're thinking about excursions, I went to Pompeii last year, got the train down from Rome to Naples and then another to Pompeii.
Enjoyed it, but I did hear from a couple of New Zealanders I met that Herculaneum was a better bet. They reckoned the site was as absorbing, but the area less touristy (and the little town outside the ruins of old Pompeii is an absolute TIP).
