There is really not much to say today. We had an early breakfast at 0630 and walked to the airport a little after seven for our 0845 flight to Munich, where we have a connection flight to JFK. Only thing that was funny is that last night, we called my mom and she asked us […]

We start our day with another simple breakfast at our BNB. The owners leave us with a key to get back into the building and the common area of the apartment. They are allowing us to leave our packs here while we explore the city today. We get all packed up and checked out, leave […]

We wake up and have breakfast at around 0830. It is a simple affair of a croissant, some cheese and meat, and cappuccino. There is also some juice and fruit. We meet a couple from Sicily that is visiting Rome. They are from Palermo but now live in Cefalu, which are two places that we […]

I woke up during the night to the sound of thunder and heavy rain. This just confirmed our decision to leave by 0830 even though the car did not need to be back until 1045 and our train tickets to Rome were for 1138. I do manage to sleep,a little more before the alarm goes […]

We get to sleep in as we are scheduled to pick up our rental car at 1100. We have a leisurely breakfast at the hotel and pack up our things. The Hertz office is right around the corner and when I get there, the guy asks if I need an automatic which I say yes […]

We get up and enjoy a nice breakfast at the Royal Caserta Hotel. When we planned our trip and got to the end of Sicily, we were going to rent a car in Salerno to visit Calabria. The only problem was that we were leaving Sicily on a Saturday and the rental car place was […]
