I only know people on the East Coast but I so want to go to the West next time - Portland too or Seattle etc etc. Just seems like a lot of effort and cost for a solo holiday …

Look, I’m trying to be the Italian holiday maestro of the boards, get your own shtick!

Got some stuff planned

Quite hyped tbh, like I hadn’t really had holidayses for over a decade, so it’s nice to be going on the odd trip every so often

I was going to say I had an absolutely rubbish holiday there but it turns out that was Sardinia, not Sicily, and I’ve been unfairly dismissing Sicily as being shit for about 5 years.

You’re welcome.

It’s great.
The architecture is great.
The history is great.
The food is great.
The weather is great.

We had a few days there a couple of years ago, and stayed in Syracuse/Ortigia - which is just stunning. From there we also had a day trip to Noto (absolutely beautiful - highly recommended), and Etna (it’s a great big volcano, brilliant).

We never made it to Palermo.

tbf we just stayed somewhere rubbish and it was in the middle of nowhere and we didn’t rent a car and there were no buses, so it was at least 95% our fault.

If you go by train from the mainland, they put the train onto a ferry.
