Also well worth the trip is the Greek settlement and temple complex at Paestum. It's about 40km from Sorrento. They have a wonderful museum at the site too. Splendid Samnite panoplies on display.
I too enjoyed Herculaneum more than Pompeii, less tourists for a start!
The buildings are in a better preserved condition, some two storey ones are superb. Some of the buildings scorched timbers are still intact. fascinating. I took 4 memory cards full of pictures on my trip!
