We'll be in Italy this October/November. I think you've just convinced us to spend part of our time in Palermo. You've really done a great job showing us the vibe of the place, and I was especially impressed by the absolute beauty of some of the churches. Over the top in Italy is fabulous! Thank you!

[@ChristineF55]

We'll also be there then.

[@midlifetravelbug]

Have a fabulous time!

[@tiny.breaks]

Bella Palermo! One of my favorite city in Italy! ❤

[@midlifetravelbug]

We had a fabulous time, we just needed more time. We will definitely be back again 🙏💕 thanks so much for watching, Cheers 🥂 Chris and Jim!

[@TheSicilianLife]

I'm glad you were adventurous with the food. 💚 Such a beautiful city ~ we love it. Thanks for sharing.

[@midlifetravelbug]

Yes we are too! Such a beautiful place. Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching 😀 Cheers Chris and Jim🥂

[@princesscc8600]

You should have visited Monreale, 30 minutes from downtown, absolutely amazing. Panino ca meuza = spleen sandwich is what you have tried, but I hope you had also Gelato, pasta alla Norma, Octopus, etc, etc... Plenty of goodies.

[@midlifetravelbug]

We really wanted to get to Monreale and we were disappointed that it didn't work out with our timing. OMG, the food everywhere was fantastic! We loved our stay in Palermo. Thank you so much for watching our video, we really appreciate it. Cheers, Chris and Jim 🫶

[@ChristineGillespie-tj6rs]

It really is! Thank-you!

[@casslou]

Just fell in love with you guys! Headed to Palermo tomorrow for 9 days. You got me thinking about starting a channel 🤔

[@ChristineF55]

Thanks for this. Going to spend 2 weeks in Palermo in Oct and 2 weeks Catania doing daily side trips.

[@midlifetravelbug]

Both beautiful cities, and a lot to see. Make sure you do check out Taormina, Agrigento, Cefalu, Syracuse and Ortigia. These other cities are also worth spending time in. We loved Sicily and hope you have a wonderful time! Thank-you so much for watching, cheers Chris and Jim😀

[@ChristineF55]

Plan on hitting all of those along with a trip to the home of my grandparents. Naso and Capo d Orlando. Thanka

[@bobbythomas200420032]

[@midlifetravelbug]

Thank you so much 🙏 we are sure that you will have a wonderful time! Loved Sicily. Cheers 🥂 Chris and Jim.

[@louisebousquet4980]

Thank you for your wonderful video! When you were at the airport.. I guess you drop off the rental car to be free in Palermo . But your luggages were with you in the share taxi? Im confuse sorry 😉

[@midlifetravelbug]

Yes, correct. We dropped off our car rental at the airport location. We often find it easier than trying to navigate through the bigger cities. Then we stay without a car for our time. Saves us money and the stress of parking and driving. We are much better with a car in the smaller cities..lol.. This was also our last stop before we flew to our next exciting destination. Thanks for watching, cheers Chris and Jim😀

[@blessed5182]

Man im so proud of Palermo hanging the Flag of Palestine! Im flying Wednesday to Palermo. Hope to see it live! Second time visiting Sicilia ❤️

[@midlifetravelbug]

Have a wonderful trip! It’s such a beautiful place! Cheers 🥂 thanks for watching!

[@abdenasser2086]

Let's finish our story in Palermo...because each story needs some water 💧...

[@midlifetravelbug]

Hope you liked the video, we are not sure what you mean? We appreciate you watching. Cheers Chris and Jim!

[@123benny4]

What did you expect? Were shocked because? Mafia everywhere? Three days doesn't make you an expert. Anyway.

[@midlifetravelbug]

Actually, we were shocked how much we liked Palermo. We did not hear good things prior to going there from other KZbin vlogs and, after being in Palermo, we felt a different experience from the negativity. Three days definitely does not make us an expert, but we tried to fit in as much as possible. Thank you for watching the video.

[@123benny4]

@@midlifetravelbug I didn't watch the video. I just came to comment because you had said you were shocked and I came to the obvious conclusion.

[@michaelkaniecki1998]

Why does an "influencer" feel the need to upload filmed churches?!? Who the eff cares??? Just film some impressions and give a statement if the place is worth a visit or not...

[@midlifetravelbug]

Hey @michaelkaniecki1998...sorry you hated the video and we ruined your day :( Have you been to Palermo? There are 100's of ancient churches and they are pretty spectacular and there are a lot of people that have never seen anything like it, including us. It's such a cool place to visit and the people were awesome. I'll take the "influencer" comment though, our kids will get a kick out of that.😂 Cheers 🍻 Jim & Chris.

[@darrenmccarthy3346]

Great video Chris & Jim! Do you have children ? Just curious as we may want to take our kids one day to Sicily.
