Thank you Tom !!
Glad to know you were in Sicily a place where time still .... goes slow: you can still meet friends and have a relaxed lunch or dispute about your fovourite soccer team restfully drinking in a bar. You can visit unbelieveble little villages, go to the sea or whatever you want always meeting people very hospitable.
I live in Rome and obviously is a nice place but very chaotic and expensive: so don't spend more than three days in Rome, it's enough !!
Be careful, Italy is an astonishing place but italians are strange people: hotels often are expensive and personnel not so polite and not so accustomed to serve well his customers.
But obviously the trip is worth while if well planned.
So thank you again very very much !!!
Luca
