I'm going to have to add Sicily to my bucket list. Love your blog -- have a wonderful time...
5 years agoGreat to hear from you! I had my first Rachel moment today as we entered Castellammare del Golfo. The gps told us to turn left to find our b&b and on doing so, we were faced with a staircase that rose skyward for 5 blocks! Yikes!
5 years agoWe really do have to find a time to meet up, Anne. And you’re going to Stromboli! We’ll be anxious to hear how that goes for you. Rachael insists that when (not if) we return to Sicily, we make it to Stromboli.
5 years agoHooray! Back to Sicily! I can’t wait to see where you take us.

Hello fellow Vancouver Islanders! We too were inspired by Scott and Rachael’s fabulous journal and did a modified version of their trip from mid-March to mid-April. We hope you have as good a trip as we had - I’m pretty sure you’ll have better weather! We took the train from Syracuse to Taormina and didn’t regret it. We found the small road off of the SS115 that is part of the official cycle route to be impassable. Other than that, Scott’s directions and gps routes were highly reliable.
