City Passes & Skip The Line Tickets
I feel that City Passes are almost never worthwhile! They cost a lot of money and you have to visit a large number of places in a day or two to justify the cost. If you are like me, you don’t want to have someone dictate what you must see and when. Visiting Italy is not about how many places you can see in a day but about the experiences of seeing places, meeting people and tasting the wonderful food & wine.
Skip-the-line Tickets are worthwhile for sites with very long lines. The major attractions can have lines of 3-4 hours long. I for one do not want to spend my vacation & visit to Italy waiting in lines. Skip-the-line tickets allow you to show up at a time and jump to the beginning of the line. They do cost more than the attractions cost of entry but you save the line time.
This YouTube video explains all about these two types of tickets.

Why I Love Italy – 2
I have been to Italy more than 100 times and have loved every trip. Why do I love Italy so much?
- The People – are friendly and helpful
- The Food – is fantastic and healthy
- The Wine – is among the best in the world
- The Sites – are fantastic and bring tourists all the time
- The Big Cities – are fantastic and a must see
- The Small Cities – are worth exploring
When planning a trip to Italy don’t plan too much in a short time. Pick a few places and give yourself plenty of time. Always plan a return trip to see more.
Ciao,
-George

Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max – What no-one is saying
Traveling means lots of videos and pictures. A smartphone means you always have a camera in your pocket or purse. The new iPhone 11 Pro series has a wonderful new camera system controlled by an AI Bionic chip. This system helps you take professional quality pictures without an effort.
I am strongly recommending an upgrade to the new iPhone even if you have the iPhone XS Max! The following YouTube video explains why:

Pickpockets in Europe
Pickpockets are all over the world. Mostly in major cities and tourist attractions.
Pickpockets are a way of life around the world especially in large cities and touristy sites. Be aware of who is around you. Use a Fanny pack or money belt under your shirt. Pickpockets use a group of people to first distract you and second steal your valuables. They are very good at what they do. This YouTube video gives tips on how to keep your valuables safer and some of the distraction techniques they use against you.

Watchtowers of Southern Italy
Southern Italy has Watchtowers all along the coast line. Watch the video below for the story about these towers:
Title: Italy – Watchtowers in Southern Italy
Countries: Southern Italy
What are Watchtowers? They are towers usually built of stone high enough to be seen by the next tower along the coast. When Saracens (pirates) were spotted, they would light a fire in the tower to warn everyone along the coast. The next tower would see it and light theirs and so on along the entire coastline. You might say this was the Internet of their time. Some towers had a bell as well that was rung to warn locals of the pirates coming.
The locals would gather their families and valuables and head to their sister town usually high up on a hill. These towns were fortified castle like structures that prevented the pirates from entering.
Ciao,
George
