Italy

So far I’ve only had one night in Milan, Italy as a stay-over.  We had a good night in a small hotel, enjoyed some local food, and left early the next morning for a lovely train ride past Lake Como from Milan to Tirano.  After lunch, we were off from Tirano to Chur on the Swiss Rail Bernina Express.  I’ll add more after March when I spend ten days around Rome and the isle of Sicily.

Catania Trip Postponed

Postponing Our Trip To Catania, Italy

With everything going on with regards to the Coronavirus (COVID-19), we have decided on postponing our trip to Catania, Italy.  It’s worth saying that I am not afraid of traveling to Italy, in fact, I think it would be a wonderful time of year to go and probably much less crowded than normal (bonus!), however, I am afraid of it spreading further do to my want, not need, to visit a place that has been set to Category 3 by the CDC (Avoid Nonessential Travel).  I really wanted to go to Catania and see Sicily, but it just isn’t worth possibly spreading this to my friends and family after I return.
