Vinny, Pauly D, Ronnie and The Situation still had some serious GTL-ing to do before they could leave for Italy, so MTV sent the chicks of Jersey Shore on ahead.  Guidette Gal Pals, JWOWW and Snooki, were seen checking in at the Lufthansa Business Class ticket counter at the Newark Airport earlier today, with oversized, leopard-print luggage in tow.  Would you expect anything less?

Although the entire cast was slated to depart for Florence five days ago, filming permits were temporarily revoked, delaying their departure several days.

While the cast is in Italia, they will be expected to comply with three major rules set forth by Mayor of Florence, Matteo Renzi.

Rule #1: Cast members are not allowed to be filmed in any bar or nightclub that serves alcohol.
Rule#2:  Cast members are not to be filmed drinking in public.
Rule#3: The show cannot be filmed to promote Florence as a drinking town.

This season should be riveting…

Season 4 of Jersey Shore is set to air on MTV in July.
