Return to Sicily

Let our family of 6 show you how to have the best vacation EVER!

On our way back from Sicily to Belgium for our return flight we had a 6 hour layover in Switzerland so we decided to do some exploring in Zurich. It was beautiful (you couldn't see a single mountain from there though!!!)

Ice Cream for breakfast? Well, kind of! Granita is like an icee you eat with sweet brioche. And it's a normal breakfast or lunch in Sicily

Wondering how long it takes to close on an apartment in Sicily? FOUR HOURS! Today it took 4 HOURS! But we own it now y'all! We can't wait for you to visit!

We are headed to Sicily to FINALLY close on the apartment after 14 months of craziness!

Once we close we will bring you up to speed!

Thanks for joining us on the journey!

PS. we've learned to find the cheapest city in europe to come in to then enjoy it a bit and then jump to Sicily. So first stop is BRUSSLES BELGIUM for a few days!!

You're not going to believe this, but we still don't legally own the apartment in Sicily. It's been over one year.

I have not said much about it because libel is a much different thing in Italy than it is in the US but once this is all resolved I will tell the story.

To say 13 months of buracracy has sucked every bit of joy out of this experience is an understatement.

I have, however found some amazing people who I feel sure I'll have lifelong friendships out of it because we are all trauma bonded, but that's the most basic update I can give.

Our Italian apartment, Return to Sicily, is just about ready for visitors! I'll be working on a booking page soon. The property is beachfront and about 1.45 drive from Catania. I will have a calendar online you can look and see what might work for you.

Taormina (which you might know from White Lotus Season 2) is about an hour drive from our apartment in Sicily and it's one of our favorite stops. The boys really enjoyed it even though it was raining.

Introducing boys to REAL PASTA at Paquito an amazing restaurant named Paquito in Ganzirri about 10km from our new apartment. We loved it and can't wait to come back soon. This town is precious and is definitely growing like so much of Sicily.

It's much easier to drive across and between than most people imagine. They drive on the right like in the US and have toll roads very similar to American interstates. Cities and small tows are a ZOO, but between is pretty smooth. But make sure you have coin. Often when an attendant is not present you'll need to pay with exact change. I have seen SOME card pay be installed but not many and there is telepass but you would have to pay that daily fee on your rental car.

If you have ever used you know they take terrible customer service to a fine art. I got on the live customer chat today at 7:00pm to get something corrected on a ticket and was 93 in the online queue. It is now 11:36pm and I've been #2 for the last hour. Literally left and had a nice meal and only went down 6 spots.
