    We'll be in Italy this October/November. I think you've just convinced us to spend part of our time in Palermo. You've really done a great job showing us the vibe of the place, and I was especially impressed by the absolute beauty of some of the churches. Over the top in Italy is fabulous! Thank you!

    You should have visited Monreale, 30 minutes from downtown, absolutely amazing. Panino ca meuza = spleen sandwich is what you have tried, but I hope you had also Gelato, pasta alla Norma, Octopus, etc, etc...
    Plenty of goodies.

      We really wanted to get to Monreale and we were disappointed that it didn't work out with our timing. OMG, the food everywhere was fantastic! We loved our stay in Palermo. Thank you so much for watching our video, we really appreciate it. Cheers, Chris and Jim 🫶

    We were in Sicily last November. We were in Catania and I didn't really want to go to Palermo. But, we are so glad that we did. We absolutely fell in love with Palermo. We are going back this fall. What was the name of the place you stayed in?

      Both beautiful cities, and a lot to see. Make sure you do check out Taormina, Agrigento, Cefalu, Syracuse and Ortigia. These other cities are also worth spending time in. We loved Sicily and hope you have a wonderful time! Thank-you so much for watching, cheers Chris and Jim😀

    I love your videos!!! They are great! I was able to visit most of these towns. We are going to Cefalu in October and want to take some day trips via train from Cefalu. Besides, the obvious (Palermo), can you suggest any other places to visit for the day?

    • @midlifetravelbug
      @midlifetravelbug  Před 3 dny

      Thank-you so much! We are so happy to hear that you are enjoying them!
      Hmm... there are so many. If you have a car it will be much easier. The Mondello beach area was beautiful. We also enjoyed San vito lo capo but a 2.5 hour drive, and Taormina is also about the same distance. It really depends on how far you want to travel. We didn't venture around Cefalu within a 30 min distance much, but I am sure there are loads more to see.
      Hope you have and amazing time! We loved it! Cheers Chris and JIm😀

    Thank you for your wonderful video! When you were at the airport.. I guess you drop off the rental car to be free in Palermo . But your luggages were with you in the share taxi? Im confuse sorry 😉

    • @midlifetravelbug
      @midlifetravelbug  Před měsícem +2

      Yes, correct. We dropped off our car rental at the airport location. We often find it easier than trying to navigate through the bigger cities. Then we stay without a car for our time. Saves us money and the stress of parking and driving. We are much better with a car in the smaller cities..lol.. This was also our last stop before we flew to our next exciting destination. Thanks for watching, cheers Chris and Jim😀

    • @midlifetravelbug
      @midlifetravelbug  Před 6 dny

      Honestly that’s tough to say. We booked through booking.com. We wanted an apartment. We were a block away from the 4 corners in old town and loved our location. We could walk everywhere. So if you can find something close to there or the theatre house with a few block you should be good. Location for one night would be ideal. Hopefully you have a wonderful time! Cheers Chris and Jim 🥂

    What did you expect? Were shocked because? Mafia everywhere? Three days doesn't make you an expert. Anyway.

    • @midlifetravelbug
      @midlifetravelbug  Před měsícem +2

      Actually, we were shocked how much we liked Palermo. We did not hear good things prior to going there from other CZcams vlogs and, after being in Palermo, we felt a different experience from the negativity. Three days definitely does not make us an expert, but we tried to fit in as much as possible. Thank you for watching the video.

    Why does an "influencer" feel the need to upload filmed churches?!? Who the eff cares??? Just film some impressions and give a statement if the place is worth a visit or not...

      Hey @michaelkaniecki1998...sorry you hated the video and we ruined your day :( Have you been to Palermo? There are 100's of ancient churches and they are pretty spectacular and there are a lot of people that have never seen anything like it, including us. It's such a cool place to visit and the people were awesome. I'll take the "influencer" comment though, our kids will get a kick out of that.😂 Cheers 🍻 Jim & Chris.
