Goobs, so you're finally going to become a "made man"?

Good for you, paisan. You always were a good earner.

Vesuvius. Overnight ferry boat to Siciliy, and about eight or nine days in a villa just outside Palermo.

Father-in-law’s parents came over on the boat from Sicily years ago, so the in-laws are renting the villa for six weeks. We get to stay free.

Any ideas on things we shouldn’t miss would be appreciated. Random smack shall be dealt with quickly and harshly.

Goobs then you are going to be real damn busy. I've been there a few times logging about 2 months in country. There is this really cool place that looks like a castle in Napoli on the sea that's a mall that is cool to walk around.

There are really good places to eat there and are inexpensive.

Sicily? Two words... crazy drivers.

To ucunt, is the sand over in your area really coarse?

Sorry, bro. You spending numerous days in a hospital after a drunken fall in Italy never gets old. I can just imagine you bumbling around the ledge, desperately searching for that perfect pic (been there, done that.) You mumble something about a "stupid branch being in your way", so you reach out to move it, and whoops... tumbling down the mountainside you go.

Afterwards, when you awake from your coma in the hospital, you can't decide which hurts more... your hangover or the injuries sustained in the fall. Total damage = $13, 3 broken bones, and your pride. Pure comedic gold.

ucunt, it was a moonless night on an 8th century castle and I couldn't see anything. 8 foot drop and the girl that flew me there (I didn't pay a dime for anything) paid my hospital bill.

Flying Magnifica class (business class... up front) on a Boeing 777 where the seats recline all the way and a 4 course meal didn't suck. I may have posted on this board from New York JFK on the free computer access while in the business lounge waiting for the flight on Alitalia.

I believe I posted pics of the place that was just beautiful back then.

So is there broken sea shells in the sand that gets in your labia? BTW, I may need to go see a doctor because my ankles might get infected.

AP, I remember that mall. it was kinda cool.

BTW, napoli is famous for it's tranny hookers aka, the campfire girls.

hmmmmm?

There is a really good restaurant up the road from there and up some side street. Great food and the total bill was under $5 US. In the middle part of town there was this pizza place where they literally put this cracker bread version in a real brick with wood fire going. That was kick ass pizza.

Not sure how you know that place is known for tranny hookers. TMI? I just remember getting off the liberty boats from the USS Mars AFS-1 (attack food ship) on a midshipman cruise the local guidos wanted to exchange money and try to rip us off. Also along the Italian and French Riviera they sold the same crap to tourists.

Funnest one was when I was on the USS Coral Sea during an earlier midshipman cruise and we spent most of our time in Cannes, France. Then we went to Monaco. I think we were out at sea for maybe 10 days out of the 30 days.

I know about the tranny hookers because I've been there and I have a functioning set of eye balls. They are like cockroaches. They are fukking everywhere. Nearly as plentiful as the dog sized rats. I also remember going into a restaurant that had the wood fired brick oven.

Actually the most obnoxious tourists are, by far, British gits on holiday. They make the proverbial "ugly American" appear suave and cultured by comparison.

I did experience a few moments of self-consciousness brought about by wandering around everywhere with my camera like a slope at Disneyland but they passed.

mvscal, for me it's not so much just the ugly behavior with Americans. I really didn't witness a whole lot of that. What I did witness practically everywhere I went were gelatinous blobs of self-satisfied, Starbucks-chugging, sweater douchily-wearin' Americans just blotting out the sun with their sheer lardassedness.

Pretty much, this is how I felt every time I saw one of these fat fucks, and it was embarrassing as hell because they were always Americans...



(Click the "watch on youtube" link.) Great movie, btw, In Bruges.

trev, please don't go over there and be another fat American.

Or the apparent brain aneurysm he suffered that manifests itself by his willingness to get sanduskied every time he logs into this board.

Without a doubt.

Americans may be ugly, but your typical, vacationing British lout is ugly, drunk and loud.



Did I mention LOUD?

Around here, during Tourist Season (in which the bag limit is much too low), the undisputed kings of obnoxious retardation are...

The Upper Mexicans from BC.

They have Walmarts in Italy?

Nope, and no one in Walmart does the douchy sweater thing anyway. Walmart is home to the Exposed NASCAR Mullet Buttcrack.

Their driving is worse than their manners.

Trev, you have an opportunity most will never get. Go, enjoy, and do not skip Rome-you will regret it. Traveling up and down through Italy was 3 of the best months of my life, and I suspect you will feel the same way upon returning home.

It's Italy, dude, not the moons of Jupiter.

Thank you, Marty. Bwahahaha!



For the record, I've been to Paradise but I've.....never been to me.
