Food, Wine, and Travel from Sicily
Sorry for the delay on the posts… we have been moving into our place in the economy. An experience.. to say the least. Happy to say we are getting settled in and we are getting spoiled by our new place.
Anyways back on schedule here with the posts (unfortunately that means waayy back to July 6th). I dont know if Im ever going to be able to be caught up to Continue reading “Catania”
We continued our house hunters international this weekend with a trip to Trecastagni. Trecastagni is located in the foothills of Mount Etna and has a great reputation. There is one place in particular that we are going to look at just outside of town.

We made it! The flights were long and miserable, but we are happy to be in Sicily. It seems like we flew for days and in a way we did… We left from San Diego at 730am to Atlanta then overnight to Rome then down to Catania at 1pm.

With our 7 bags… including 3 seventy pound beasts that we checked in (try packing for the next 3 months), we hunkered down in our flying sardine can.
Lugging our carryons from plane to plane was not fun especially in Rome because it was a sweatbox… A shower was a vision in our minds or maybe a dip in the Mediterranean.
We didnt lose any luggage! And my coworker Jack picked us up and the adventure began…. Introduction to Italian driving … yikes. . No Sicilian food yet!
