The one thing that really stands out with your channel is the respectful attitude presented in each country. Some other vloggers like to sensationalise their story by degrading the country "as guests." It's a pleasure to follow your journey, guys.

@BrianandCarrie 11 ай бұрын

Thank you! We try to go to each new country and respect their culture and people as we are the visitors. We also try not to sugarcoat things to mislead those that may want to visit, but also not be negative. Thanks for watching. Cheers!!

Thanks for the video! I was able to hike up to the top of the rock in April for beautiful views :) I also like being near the water and spent many months of my nomad life in Chania, Crete. I definitely recommend it!

Crete is on our list! We may be back in the area next year so we will try to get there. Thank you for watching our channel! Cheers!!🍻

Hey. Another informative video. I am more than a little surprised that you left Palermo so late for this day trip. You are both usually up and at it. Looks great. I would likely pack that bathing suit and towel on a 95 degree day. Amazing the small quaint places you get to see when off the beaten path. In September such a crowded train. Wow. Safe travels and cheers.

@BrianandCarrie 11 ай бұрын

We definitely should have left a few hours earlier than we did. We honestly should have stayed the night so we could have jumped in the water and had a place to clean up for an evening dinner. It is a great little place that we would recommend staying at. Thanks, Robert! 🍻

We hiked to the top of Cefalu Rock in september 2019 and it wasn't too bad. One of us was even wearing flip-flops. The views from the top were beautiful and we were lucky enough to see mountain goats.

@BrianandCarrie 11 ай бұрын

That's so cool ☺. Had the temps been a bit lower that day, we would have made our way to the top. We saw some pictures from the top, and it looked beautiful. Cheers 🍻

Great video you two. Were working on details for our roaming retirement. Do you have an update on what/how many luggage brand/model you guys carry with you? Were looking at RyanAir as a benchmark and their carry on limits are pretty small, so were looking for your experienced advice on this.

Hey guys! Thanks for the tips:) We are in Palermo for the next few days and then head to Cefalu for the Month of November! FYI an AirBnb (booked months ago)with an amazing private rooftop and view was $1500 Cdn. We will be heading back to Palermo for a day trip and a cooking class. We're travelling through Italy for early December then to our housesit in London for Christmas:) Looking forward to watching more!

@BrianandCarrie 11 ай бұрын

You will be happy that you booked a place in Cefalu rather than Palermo, we wish we had done the same thing. It sounds like you got a great deal. We are looking into the house sit experience as well and it seems like the UK has many. It may be the only way we can see London with the cost of living being so high! Thank you for watching!! Safe travels! 🍻

Nothing beats a beer on a hot day! But, I'd be happy with a nice glass of wine with an authentic Italian meal, too. I just LOVE all those outdoor cafes in Cefalu. I don't recall ever visiting here, but I know I would like it with all the handcraft shops, being a handcraft artisan myself! It really looks like a quaint little place. Cheers to another fabulous video!

Great video! im staying in mountains south of palermo and have got a car for a day trip to Cefalu. Can I ask why having your shoulders exposed was an issue? is it a religous thing? and also does it apply to any other attractions in Sicily?

@BrianandCarrie 2 ай бұрын

If you decide to go into the churches, then you need to be covered for religious reasons. It does not apply to other attractions.

We had heard a lot about the town, and we were pressed for time. We had to choose were we wanted to go and decided on Cefalu. Happy that we did, lovely town. We do wish that we had more time on Sicily to explore but between having to leave early and work (editing videos) we just ran out of time. Thank you for watching! Cheers!!🍻

Question: do you fly your own drone? If so, do you have a Part 107 FAA Drone License & how do you get permission or approval, if at all?

@BrianandCarrie 11 ай бұрын

Great question! We don't use a drone. We didn't want to hassle with all the legalities of using one let alone packing one all over the world with only carry-on luggage. We use Canva, it is a paid website that we use for any drone shots. We did a video last year on how we shoot our videos and what gear we use. Thank you for asking!! Cheers!!🍻

@matthewgarrett1964 11 ай бұрын

@@BrianandCarrie interesting. I have a DJI Mini 4. The drone & all its "gear" weigh about 2 1/2 lbs. & all of it fits in a case 1/2 the size of a football. I also have an FAA Part 107 License, so that makes it easier for me . I plan on using it myself but completely understand the desire not to have to deal with it.

And they understood that restaurants close at certain hours and they open for dinner at certain hours Americans assume everything’s open 24 seven just trying to help your channel by being a little bit more specific for maybe first time travelers. Not me sorry I live in the south of France. I understand but a lot of people come here frustrated when the restaurant closes at two and they haven’t eaten lunch or they want to eat dinner at six, and the restaurant doesn’t open till eight.
