GETTING THERE and GETTING AROUND:
You must either fly from the mainland, take a train (to a railferry) or take a ferry. Once you are in Sicily, there is an extensive rail, bus and highway system. For more information on transportation to and around Sicily, go here.
Ahhh what a place. No matter where in Italy, time stops or rather slows done quite a bit. Thank you for this Sandy! Anita
I would much rather be in Sicily today!!! You know how cold it it here. Brrrr…thinking about our Spring Break, which will luckily be spent where it is warm. Nothing glamorous, but the kids will have fun!
Excited about your Fall trip to Paris. My boys have said they want to go again, but first we have to do our summer London trip.
And, am so happy that we took them to D.C. this Spring so they could see the capitol and White House. They loved it when they saw the President and his family attend church across from where we stayed!
Stay warm!

So beautiful Sandy. I would love to stay at Villa Sant' Andrea. Thank you for all of the recommendations.
