Amazing! The pizza & bird looked delicious!🤣🍕🐈

[@NewstateNomads]

HAHAHA... I still can't believe that happened. The poor bird... the cat carried it away so proudly.

[@caseclosed2883]

Love your videos and the way you do them.Alaska and Italy videos are awesome.🤘😎

[@braddobson2060]

Good vidio you guys always make me hungry 😊

[@NewstateNomads]

We make ourselves hungry too going back through the footage! 😂

[@theobedientpup]

Great video. I'm with you Katelyn I would not use that elevator again..now Howard is a daredevil. LOL. And that poor bird Yikes!

[@NewstateNomads]

RIGHT?! I know my limits and elevators are where I draw the line haha. OMG, I know! That was wild to witness! 😂

[@karppadiem7014]

Wow. It's just amazing to see a city that old and that well preserved. 😲 That pizza looked next level. 💖 🍕 I definitely would not have gotten on that elevator a second time either. Nope. 🤣 I was amazed this entire series every time you moved hotels and I remembered that you were doing all of this out of two suitcases and two backpacks (and maybe an extra bag by the end.😉) Thanks so much for sharing this journey. 💖 -Troy & Aimee

[@NewstateNomads]

Troy & Aimee, so glad you enjoyed it! Funny you mention the bags, we feel like it actually HELPS us with trips like this to avoid buying lots of things while we travel. We hold back a little space for gifts, wine, etc to bring back, but nothing like what we've seen where people bring an extra bag back or ship it back home. 😂 As always, we're so glad you're both along for the journey! -Howard

[@peacefulwife5199]

Hello. I've been waiting all week for this episode. 😁❤👍🌹🌻🌻 Just got home from a 290 mile round trip to drop my son off at the airport in St.Louis. He's off to Atlanta, to Seoul then from there to Manila, Philippines to get married. 😁❤😁

[@NewstateNomads]

Oh my goodness, it's finally happening!!! YAY!! Congratulations to you all. That's so wonderful!

[@CUhe-pf9ny]

Great video! We could have met in Pompeji, we have been in there, in Herculaneum and in Rome in October as well. Where are you going now?

[@kimproffer695]

Welcome back to the USA! I’ve thoroughly enjoyed all of your adventures in beautiful Italy! ❤️❤️

[@NewstateNomads]

Thank you so much Kim!! It was such a wonderful trip and I am so glad we were able to share it with everyone. It is great to be back though!

[@edrumsas5420]

Very cool. Was wondering which one of you would mention the erotic part of the city. Surprise it wasn’t Howard. Safe travels Cheers

[@NewstateNomads]

Hahaha, of course we had to mention the SPECIAL gallery at the museum, Ed! Unfortunately,, we didn't have a chance to visit the museum this trip, but it looks and sounds like an incredibly interesting experience. Glad you're along for the journey! 👍 -Howard

[@joanjackson2170]

The whole Italy series was terrific!

[@NewstateNomads]

Thank you so much Joan!!!

[@Grandstreet1]

It the summer the sun beating down and heat are intense and there is no shade. Use a guide. Almost all of the treasures were taken away and are in the museum in Naples.

[@NewstateNomads]

Great points! We do look forward to returning and exploring the museum in Naples on a future trip. Thanks for watching! 👍 -Howard

[@virginialemm864]

Aaahhhhh!!! Pompeii! You told me back in December you’d be posting your visit to Pompeii in a couple weeks. Ha! But it was so worth the wait. We toured it while we were on our Mediterranean cruise in 10/19…. We were in Naples and Pompeii on my birthday, 10/12. WHAT. A. BIRTHDAY. GIFT.!!! Pompeii tour during the day, and a whole Margherita pizza to myself for dinner. What I did see on your video, was a LOT of it we did NOT get to see on our tour. Thank you, thank you, thank you for bringing me to revisit this beautiful and historic place. We saw a lot, but you guys made my visit complete. I’ ve finally caught-up on your videos…now I can go to bed with a smile on my face. Take care and safe travels! Love you guys, Virginia

[@jc90x70]

As always, great job guys! And btw even in Italy we fold pizza slices, so you were doing it right ;)

[@NewstateNomads]

Ok, late reply but thanks for letting us know about the pizza! Always want to respect local customs. Thanks for watching! 👍 -Howard

[@michelepropps1895]

I would love to know what city you used as a home base when you visited Pompeii.

[@NewstateNomads]

Hi Michele! We actually just drove in for the day when leaving Matera, spent a few hours at Pompeii and stayed one night in Naples before our train ride back to the airport!

[@michelepropps1895]

@@NewstateNomads Thanks for the info. My husband and I are planning on being in Italy Sept 2022. We're thinking of staying in Sorento as a home base when visiting Pompeii and Naples.

[@NewstateNomads]

You're welcome! Also a great option, we looked into that as well but we just didn't have the time to fit it in. Hope you have a wonderful trip!!

[@karlamartins2761]

Wow. What an incredible place. I get to go visit there next May when I visit Italy.

[@CarlasLovingWife]

Love you guys! Best videos!

[@NewstateNomads]

Thank you so much Joan! 😍❤️

[@gerryzub]

Of everything I thought I would see in this video a coin operated elevator never crossed my mind.

[@kevlarcardhouse252]

Would you say you were fine with the audio guide and walking on your own, or did you wish you hired an on-site guide to show you around? Opinions online seem to be mixed.

[@susansolomon2543]

You would have to drug me to get in that elevator! LOL I love your videos!

[@minasmid8786]

Fantastic series! Thanks for all the tips!

[@Tia.H]

That was an amazing adventure in Italy! Great series! In case that pilot is watching (you never know), congratulations on the retirement! What a sweet announcement, too!

[@TasteofRetirement]

Wow! You had to pay for that elevator ride?! I am not a pizza person, but Michele had the best pizzas I have ever had!

[@NewstateNomads]

Haha, isn't that bizarre?! I had read the reviews online that said we would need change for the elevator, so glad I was prepared! And yes! That pizza is just next level with how fresh the ingredients are!

[@juliachambers725]

Speaking of car rental. What company to use? Also one of my neighbour got ticket sent to Florida for 500 euro 💶 for something he didn’t know he did? Any issues with weird rules on the road. Thx

[@NewstateNomads]

We used Budget/Avis. We didn't run into any issues like that! Just be sure to document any and all damage that's visible on the car and make them sign off/acknowledge it on the paper.

[@pglen6042]

Glad you were safely home.

[@shannonalward217]

I have always wanted to go to Pompeii. Those Rick Steves walking tours are the best. We used those all over Italy. And o agree with Katelyn on the “pay to play” elevator! 😂

[@NewstateNomads]

Haha thank you for the elevator support Shannon! 😆🛗 That thing stressed me out! Pay to play, too funny! And yes, always love Rick Steves!

[@evelynwiegel1838]

Thanks, the trip was awesome and I didn't have to walk a single step. Question, how many sisters do you have.

[@NewstateNomads]

Haha, virtual trips are great in that way! I just have one sister :)

[@rachaelhicks8235]

Really enjoyed your videos of Italy. It was really fun to watch. Now I need to go.

[@NewstateNomads]

Thank you Rachael! Hope you can visit one day. You will love it!

[@Blessed2RV]

That was such a great video - very good information along with your fun sense of humor. Loved it and the whole series! ♥️

[@NewstateNomads]

Thanks, Lupe! This has been such a fun series for us and love hearing you enjoyed it as well! It definitely gets us thinking about other countries we could make a longer series for, too. 😉 -Howard

[@tarac5137]

Very cool, thanks for sharing Italy with us. I love Rick Steves! Catching part of his show on the radio Saturday mornings is a nice change from the news. How sweet you were on the pilot’s last flight. Those old elevators are equal parts fun and scary. Was this all October, or the end part into November? Weather looked brisk this episode. 🍕

[@fxwofficial9110]

Thanks for sharing the video, it's like I had a trip to Rome also. The city is full of history and awe-inspiring. BTW, I'd love to try the pizza! 🍕

[@nickitalia96]

Did you leave your luggage in the car while at Pompeii?

[@NewstateNomads]

We did! We parked in a paid lot that was monitored... Definitely spend the $ to do this and don't risk it on the street or in an unmanned lot. It's worth the money.

[@carolynknisely2383]

That was awesome!!!

[@NewstateNomads]

Thank you Carolyn!!

[@2CorgiMom]

I loved your tour of Italy! You had quite the itinerary and covered so much ground. Your filmography is superb and we so appreciate the history behind what we’re viewing. Thank you! We’re still on track to tour Rome & Southern Italy, Naples beginning mid-September then about 10 days on Sicily. Hopefully we’ll get to go before the next Covid surge in the fall. 😉🤞

[@NewstateNomads]

Thank you SO much for the compliments! We are so glad you enjoyed the series. We work hard to make our videos, so that means a lot to us! ❤😊 We're crossing our fingers that you'll be able to visit this Fall! -Katelyn

[@drivingmissdisney4322]

This is likely too long ago now but did you happen to go check out Herculaneum? It is smaller than Pompei but in some ways more preserved. If not, add it to your list for next time! 😊 Always enjoy your videos.

[@NewstateNomads]

We only had a few hours to explore that area :( We'd love to go back and check that out too, we've heard it's incredible to see!!

[@martincastro620]

We saw you out and about, my wife was so excited to see you guy's.

[@NewstateNomads]

Hi Martin! Did you see us in Pompeii?! Or here in the states. Say hi if you see us next time! We love meeting people! ❤️🥰

[@martincastro620]

It was here in the state's. We past you guy's on the freeway.

[@czakrajsek71]

Hi Newstates! Thanks so much for sharing your Italy adventures! I’ve only been to Florence, Rome, Venice and Modena but always wanted to see the “boot” of this country. My fave videos of your tour are Matera, Ostuni/ Alberonello. There’s just so much to see in this beautiful world!

[@NewstateNomads]

Hi Christine!! Thank you so much for letting us know your favorites, I always love hearing what people were drawn to. There really is! So many sights to see, so little time!!

[@IamaDutch-Kiwi]

Another adventure coming to an end- but knowing you two- you've been experiencing lots more while you left us admiring Italy. What a unique final flight with the captain and a lovely tribute he gave his wife. So special. I can't wait to see what you have in store for us next! 🙏 💖 🇳🇿 🙋‍♀️ 🇳🇱

[@NewstateNomads]

You're right about that!! And yes, so very sweet! It was so special that she was on the flight with him!

[@pglen6042]

This was a bucket list item I never got to. Thank you for filming there.

[@NewstateNomads]

You're very welcome! So glad you got to come along virtually with us ❤

[@autumvaught2660]

I'm loving your adventure in Pompey and Naples. I busted up laughing at the elevator with the .10 pay fee for every 15 seconds! Hilarious but good to know!🤪😂

[@NewstateNomads]

Haha, it was so funny! I have no idea if that's a standard or common thing there, but I was prepared because people had mentioned it in the reviews of where we were staying.

[@autumvaught2660]

@@NewstateNomads I've never seen that anywhere we've stayed. By the way, we went to Matera last weekend and enjoy a couple of the things you recommended: Casa Grotta and the cistern. Both were great. Also, because we speak a bit of Italian, I chatted with some of the locals who's families or they themselves had moved out of the caves for nicer accommodations. They were happy to move and their mostly living in the Barisano area. Since the 1950's wasn't all that long ago it was pleasantly easy to find folks who had lived that challenging life. They love that people are coming to their city and loving spending time there since it was forgotten for so long. I too loved Matera and can't wait to take my family there where they come to visit! Did you happen to have the time to hike across the gorge and explore the church caves? It is amazing!

[@NewstateNomads]

Oh wow!! That's amazing and I love hearing stories from locals like that. Thank you for sharing. That's definitely something we miss since we don't speak Italian. We didn't have time to hike but saw a lot of people doing it.
