Since we’re headed to Italy 🇮🇹 in a couple of months - I thought I’d share this article. Some common sense - other suggestions are good.

https://www.insider.com/italy-things-to-never-do-there-according-to-local-photos-2023-8 I was born and raised in Italy. Here are 7 things I wish tourists would stop doing when they come here.

There are easy ways to avoid most common tourist mistakes in Rome and other popular spots in Italy, from doing research to lowering your expectations.

Don’t wait - 2 wks prior to Judy’s Aunt Mary passing away at 103 - she said to us. Don’t wait whatever you want to do or wherever you want to go - Don’t wait. See and do what you can before you can’t.
We love and miss her very much! 🙏🏻💕 Aunt Mary we are living like you reminded us.

It seems crazy that you can do this - but trust me - it’s possible. We haven’t gotten to this point - not sure we will. Our budget is very specific.

But think about it - how could you make it work full time?
Take what you spend now food, rent/mortgage & all associated expenses plus, gas and other car related expenses, entertainment and the big one - food! What’s that total for you?

Divide that down to get a daily $ amount of what that’s costing you now. And that’s your per day cruising dollar allowance.

If you find a way to cruise 🚢 for that or less - you’re ahead:
No more cleaning
A personal set of chefs and staff
Gyms/pools
Entertainment
And lodging
Time to take care of you.
See amazing places.

Now we don’t have the same costs for housing - but we have constants: food, travel, occasional entertainment, some lodging.

Expenses we still have: insurances, auto, phones and much more.

Just think how it might feel if you tried this - maybe not for a year but for 1 trip. While we were on a Panama Canal cruise back in January for 2 weeks - we noticed our bank account looked better - we didn’t spend a dime for those 2 weeks.

Here’s an interesting article to see how 1 person made this work for them.

I feel very fortunate that our unique life makes possible the most amazing adventures. And wish the same for everyone.
1-We began the year with a Panama Canal cruise.
2-In June we went to Nashville(flights were free booked with just a few miles). We also drove to Boston, Rhode Island & CT for some fun trips- earning a tier status with World of Hyatt- it was a special challenge with huge benefits.
3- September we’re headed to Seattle then up to Vancouver for a 2 wk Alaska cruise. The cruise was 70% off the 2nd person & we had an additional 50% off the cruise bonus + lots of other bonuses included. Our fights NY -Seattle we used a free companion pass. And we found a great deal on the 1 tkt.
4- October: Yesterday we booked 3wks in Italy & Paris (still planning) - flights were booked for 12,000 miles each way (incredible). There’s a current sale through Flying Blue (KLM & Air France ) but we did the booking on those airlines through Virgin Airlines using their reward seats for Delta affiliates.
5-November - we sail out of Ft Lauderdale for 11 days in the Caribbean. Grand Turks, Aruba, Bonaire & Curaçao. This is a free cruise. We do pay taxes and port fees.
Remember I mentioned the Hyatt status. We took that and MGM gave us a status match. We then took the MGM status and linked it to Holland America(that partnership is ending soon). Holland American gave us up to 12 nights free for 2 people- that we could sail in regions such as Alaska, Caribbean, Coastal US , Canada or Mexico. And our flights from NY to FL are also free booking with points.

This strategy is used by many travelers but this is the first time I’ve heard of an airline taking this action.

"We've used Skiplagged almost exclusively for the last five to eight years," the teenager's father, Hunter Parsons, told Queen City News.

We feel the same way. There’s nothing quite like travel to help you see yourself and the world differently. Best part is - traveling nearby is just as liberating.

Yesterday we took a big leap of faith:  we sent a letter to our homeowners in the US, telling them that we would be traveling abroad most of the year. This will hopefully make room to manifest that dream and get back to our pre-pandemic travel plans.💜🙏🏻

Research and travel go a long way to making sure you end up in the best place for you. Here’s one list to help - I know I’ll be considering this - why not choose a few places to slow travel and see if it’s your cup of tea. Slow travel is when you take the time and place your intention on living like a local not a tourist.
