re: Italy Travel with Kids

Posted by Yat27 on 7/6/26 at 4:06 pm to
I always suggest not trying to see too much in a short period of time. So many people travel like they're checking boxes on a list, trying to see a new city every day or two, but never really experiencing any of them. We're very lucky to be able to takes multiple trips like this a year, and I understand completely that not everyone is in the same boat. That's why some people will try to visit 9 places in 11 days... They don't know if they'll ever be able to go back.

For example, if you have 10 days in Italy (not counting travel days), limit yourself to 3 cities/bases. You can do 3-4 days each in Rome, Florence, and the Amalfi Coast, for example. If you had 4 days in Florence as a base, you can do a day trip or two to places like Siena, Bologna, Lucca, or San Gimignano.

We also like to spend about half our stay at each spot seeing the sites, and half the time taking things slow, and being spontaneous. Then again, I think with all those kids this isn't an option. Lol

If you travel to the Amalfi Coast, I 100% recommend chartering a private boat for a full day to explore places like Positano, Amalfi, etc. by boat. This is IMHO the most beautiful way to see this area.

I'm still blown away by how much food these competitive eaters put down in such a short period of time. I feel like 67 large hot dogs easily have enough sodium to kill a person.
The Texas flag is top tier. Simple, beautiful, best colors... I dig it.

1. Pink Lady/Nectar Cream
2. Tigers Blood
3. Chocolate

All with condensed milk.

I don't know if there is a correct answer, but I don't think either is necessarily strange. Dad was just doing what he thought was best.

The one time a dad brought his little girl into the men's room while I was at the urinal, it was one without a divider. I didn't realize it until she starting speaking, but I wasn't hugging that urinal, because I prefer not to get piss all over my shirt. That was definitely uncomfortable.

Truth, all the way. Their sides and desserts are top tier too.
Isn't it a little early for good watermelons? I can't remember the last time I had a sweet one outside of July/August.

Being a kid in the late 80s/90s was pretty damned great.

I would have said this was an exaggeration a few years ago, but 3 of the last 4 gift cards my family sent me have been stolen.

You're definitely underestimating how many petty "pussies" we have here in the U.S. I wish you the best. Your food looks good, and the Scousers appear to be loving it. :cheers:

Embarrassing thread, baw. Seriously, how fricking clueless are you that you think ICE isn't putting in work in Texas?
