ℹ️ About the Episode:
When it comes to planning a big trip, it's only natural to have all the details mapped out. For the first week of our big Italian "Empty Nesting" trip, we had each night planned months in advance. After all, we're noobs when it comes to travel abroad! So when our bed & breakfast canceled the pre-paid reservation we'd made in January the night before... we couldn't believe it.
As disappointed as we were, we knew Europe would be no different than any of our RV trips in the States. We knew in our gut that what we'd come up with instead would be equal to or better than our original plans—and we were right! This abrupt change of plans gave us the confidence to wing it. Not having expectations can often lead to being pleasantly surprised at the smallest outcomes rather than saying, “Hmm… I thought it would be more/less ________ ” (fill in the blank). We found a charming town we’d heard of while planning but had decided to skip. As it turned out, Alberobello, Italy, is exactly what we needed: a charming small town that wasn’t crawling with tourists, plus good food and a laid-back local vibe. We extended our stay to three nights and used our time to adjust to the time zone and enjoy each other’s company in this quiet town. Assisi, Italy, was also on our list of places to visit, but we would have only visited for a day trip. Now that we weren't locked into our original plans, we could spend the night. Experiencing the town after all the tourists left was much like Mackinac Island—quiet and peaceful. We were also able to make dinner reservations at Le Terrazze di Properzio—a beautiful restaurant overlooking the town—and enjoy a magnificent sunset.

Italy Is probably the most Amazing country of world. Food, Mountain, Sea, story.. everything Amazing.
-
As italian, I enjoy to see Italy through US mates' eyes. I love you.
-
I lived in northern Italy (Vicenza) for three years in the mid 1970's. My husband was in the military. Before we had our baby there, we bought a Moto Guzzi (touring bike) and traveled on it to Rome, Pisa, Livorno. My husband has since passed and our beautiful daughter is now a mother of teens. Thank you for taking me back to my young adulthood, a lifetime ago. Somehow my tears are bringing me happiness. Thank you so much...
-
Glad you felt welcomed in our amazing country. Come back soon 🇮🇹❤️
-
as an italian from Rome, i always enjoy how foreigners enjoy the beauty that for us is obvious normality. Have a fantastic stay in Italy.
-
I understand that it must take a lot of work to make just one episode per week, but I could watch a 30-minute episode of you guys every day and still perhaps want more. If I come across anyone who believes that life is inherently negative and dull, I would always direct them to your channel as evidence that life can be amazing!

You are good people, real travellers. Evaluate the places without prejudices, stereotypes and clichés, then it is normal that throughout the world there are places with positive and negative aspects.
-
"The trains in Europe are amazing...", I agree. Way more comfortable than a plane. Unbelievably fast, and first class is affordable for regular people.
-
This honestly may be the best travel video I have seen in years. You are traveling the way I love, with just enough resources to make it fun and enjoyable, but deeply embedded in the life of the area. The little places, the fun surprises, the hilarious moments ("You mean I have to back up this street?"). Thank you for making such awesome content.
-
Amazing how you’re capturing the real Italy. Make me miss the times we had living there. Absolutely beautiful.
-
Trish's face during the backing up - priceless.
-
Loved this. Italy was my favorite country to visit and you brought back fond memories.
-
Spent many years in a reserve unit based in Sicily. The only issue I had driving was the gas pumps. Fortunately, they always had attendants, or I would have filled my car with diesel more than once. Driving in the countryside is an experience when you are suddenly surrounded by sheep that come out of nowhere to cross the street, The architecture is amazing. You drive along the base of a cliff, and somehow someone built a town into the cliff. No wasted space at all.
-
We loved the engineering of Italy as well! When we toured Pompeii, we really noticed how brilliant the engineering was - and for before 79 AD! Amazing!
-
I think driving in Italy is part of the experience 😂❤️ love to see people exploring and enjoying the country whit respect. Unfortunately some people don’t get the beauty of the simple things that Italy is made of. P.s your video blog is amazingly made
-
Italy is one of my favorite countries! Thank you for sharing your adventures!
-
I admire your ability to pivot when needed. You're absolutely right, sometimes Plan B (or "unplanned B") can be more wonderful. Thanks for bringing us all along.
-
"forget what you know, and go with the flow!"
-
