So happy you had a good time there. That's what Life is all about, having joy...

THANKS!

Hello @KristinNaso, from what we view, the video is at natural speed...?

@tolga24 This place is lively and exciting. It's the best, most active fish market we have ever seen. Hope someday you get to visit!

@@RetireEarlyLifestyle1 I hope the same. I appreciate it legends! 💯

Awesome! Great to hear it, @satellite-s3v !!!

@tolga24 easy to make, and delicious, too! Thanks for taking the time to comment!

Hello, @dojocho1894 Have you been to Italy, Sicily or Coatia? I wouldn't know how to advise you in this area - Palermo is a very large city with a long history. Catania is Sicily's 2nd largest city. I would recommend that you visit both places and decide which fits you better. Both have much to offer. You might take a look at this pictorial of ours retireearlylifestyle.com/aaa-a/palermo-city.htm We have not yet been to Croatia.

Thanks, @Tolga24!!

Hi @rn3074 - No, we flew from Bari to Palermo, trained to Cefalu then trained to Catania. We had plans to fly from Catania to Paris after that. Thanks for taking the time to comment!

Hi @tolga24 - we tried several times to eat this specialty in Sicily. They serve it at grills, in restaurants, and one of the ways that is popular is horse meat meatballs. The day we ordered them, the restaurant was out! OOOOPS! People eat different things all over the world. Thanks for taking the time to write. ;-)

@@RetireEarlyLifestyle1 That's for sure! 😎💯I appreciate for the answer also! 🤘

Nice apartment! Do you usually use airbnb or an aparthotel? You have such immense experience having lived a slow travel lifestyle for so many years it would be fantastic to see what your expenses would be for a month of travel and what tips you can offer to those starting out. Thank you so much! You are both an inspiration!

@@mrsjuliemasse Thanks for taking the time to comment and for your compliments, we appreciate it. We travel as a lifestyle, so taking one month of data isn't exactly the whole picture. You can take a look at our Annual Spending here for an idea... retireearlylifestyle.com/aaa/annual_spending_update.htm In terms of what options we use for housing, we generally utilize monthly rents (when available) for hotels, or rent an apartment (off Booking . com). We have never utilized Airbnb, but have many friends who do so. We have done housesitting but prefer the flexibility of the above options instead. We also have friends who house sit all year long and their housing costs have plummeted! You can write to us with any questions at TheGuide@RetireEarlyLifestyle.com

@@RetireEarlyLifestyle1 Thank you ☺️

@tolga24 you are right about the chain stores... Catania turned out to be a great place. Good eateries and the people were very animated and interesting.

Exactly. Thanks for watching! That noodle soup was fabulous!

Thanks, @tolga24!

Thank you so much, @tolga24 It's a fascinating story, isn't it?

@tolga24 thanks for your comment! I feel the same way, it's like the alleyways and buildings can speak. You might enjoy the following - one is a story and one is a video. Thanks for writing. retireearlylifestyle.com/aaa-a/matera-sassi.htm th-cam.com/video/LtZ7BQuXnwk/w-d-xo.html

@@RetireEarlyLifestyle1 I appreciate it, I've add them in my link folder to read and watch tomorrow 😎

@@tolga24 GREAT!! Thanks.

It's a hike we recommend. Hope some day you get to do it.

This is a gorgeous place, @tolga24... hope someday you might visit there.

You are kind, Sir! 🤩

Hi There @KESPepperCorn, Pizza places don't open until 7pm. It has been our experience that Italians eat from 7pm to about 10pm... Not as late as the Spanish (or the Venezuelans)!

yes, we like these neighborhoods also, for the color and insight they bring. We never felt unsafe or anything, and the locals were very friendly. Other neighborhoods we visited were immaculate! Go figure.

So glad you enjoyed it! 😊

Haha, thanks. Yup... we have our own theme song! haha! 😍😊

Yeah... they really were! So engaging, too! 🥰

Truly an amazing church... Sicily is wild, @frdf701 - flavors, and animated people, and history and... 😂

GREAT! Thanks!

Glad you found it useful!

Hey Girlfriend, Thanks for taking the time to comment. It was a DEE-licious lunch and we love you too! 😍

Yes of course, you are right. Hope you enjoyed the video.

@rn3074 You are welcome! History comes to life in Europe. To be in a place where the Roman Empire ruled, the Second World War's effects and then also modern time - all at once! It's a humbling experience. Best to you...

@Sandeesandee2562 we were living at Lake Atitlan at the time. Since then, the outdoor market has been moved to another area of Solola. To be honest, we preferred its first location more, as it seemed more colorful and authentic. However... they have an amazing array of fruits and vegetables available, no matter what time of year you visit. Here is a link to another market in Panajachel. Beautiful. retireearlylifestyle.com/aaa/maya_day_market.htm

See above response.

Learn to be polite. Ugh.

¡Estoy de acuerdo! ¡muy bien!

Thank you for taking the time to comment. We thank you, your family and your grandfather for his service. You must be very proud, and we support our service men and women. God bless.

@@RetireEarlyLifestyle1 Thank you for your kind Words. I enjoyed watching your video. All the best from Canada 🇨🇦

I look at this Video of People happy & enjoying themselves & makes me think it was hard to believe many years before this was a War Zone under The Jackboots of Adolf Hitler and his Nazi Criminal Goons. Thanks to the Veterans for making this a happy place again for future generations to enjoy. 🙏 🇺🇲 🇨🇦 🇬🇧 🇭🇲 🇲🇫 And again thank you folks for your kind words and this wonderful Video.. Nice to see People so friendly and enjoying themselves .

We stayed at Hotel Casa Chacala retireearlylifestyle.com/aaa/hotel_casa_chacala.htm But there are lots of places there now.

You will love it! Have a GREAT TIME. Thanks for taking the time to comment.

Yes, it's really an amazing place. We'll have a story out soon that tells you more about the history of the village and how it went from being the "shame" of Italy to being a tourist destination. Stay tuned!! Take care. Subscribe to our FREE Newsletter! www.retireearlylifestyle.com/subscribe.htm

This was an incredible place, @sexyellex. So full of history. People have lived in the Sassi since 7,000 BC! So, 9,000 years of continuous human community.

oh yesssss.... We were pooped when we arrived to Matera! Thanks for taking the time to comment @sexyellex !

Hi @sexyellex, yes, Matera is a nice, clean place and worth a visit. So happy you are enjoying our videos!

Hi @robyndolanbooksandmusic - The adventure with "glitches" make for the best stories and sometimes provides a sharper memory of the journey. If we all wanted a "smooth" trip, we'd be taking a tour or a cruise. Independent travel is challenging, but it's yours. Thanks for taking the time to comment!

Yuppers... ain't it the truth! You should have seen me with my luggage contents all out on the sidewalk and then the bus pulls up!! Oh. Mi. Dios!

Yes, we thought so too! Thanks for taking the time to comment!

Thank you so much for this, we appreciated it very much!! How fun!!! Have a GREAT time at the beach and safe travels home.

Well, if one considers the natural rate of inflation that all countries have, then yes, it costs more now to live anywhere than it did 30 years ago. That being said, for the 2 of us we don't spend $3,000USD per month and we live well and also travel. Take a look at our Mexico Page here: www.retireearlylifestyle.com/MEXICO.htm and also our annual spending update page here: retireearlylifestyle.com/aaa/annual_spending_update.htm

@@KESPepperCorn Thank you!!

It really is, thank you!
