It's a nice drive/ride from Rome and Pompeii itself is quite interesting.
While in Florence, seek out Vivoli - a famous gelateria. Go early to the David, as the lines can be long. I believe you can buy advance tickets so you don't have to stand in the ticket line in addition to admission line. You don't have a lot of time in Florence, but a day trip to nearby Pisa (as in Leaning Tower of) is worth it if you can squeeze it in.
In and around Vienna you have a lot of time, so do the Sound of Music thing; the church where they got married is actually outside Vienna (about an hour drive as I recall).
Have fun!
