justretired - Sicily Trip Report?
Hey Larry and Margie,

You might be interested in my trip report; click on my name to find it. We liked the agriturismo where we stayed outside Piazza Armerina.
Report Abuse
Thanks Michael. I did go back and re-read your report too! What an adventure you had, but it sounds like you made the most of it.
So you liked Gigliotto? I had originally planned to stay there, but people on Trip Advisor have given it some poor reviews over the last year.
Was it conveniently located for visiting Villa Casale?
Report Abuse
The agriturismo is several miles out of Piazza Armerina, but the car did not complain.

Dayle - wouldn't it be easier to send them an email?

Hi, Dayle,
Sorry to be so late. We got back and have been extremely busy with all sorts of stuff going on, and I just haven't gotten to it. As you can see by this late response, I haven't even checked Fodor's since our return. Perhaps you're beyond the point in your planning where it would be of any use to you.
Hope you had happy holidays, and have a happy new year. I will get the trip report up eventually.

This is Margie, the other half of Justretired. I usually do the planning and Larry keeps a journal and does the trip report.
I can say a few things without the entire report. All in all, it was a lovely trip. For most of our recent travels, we have stayed in one place and branched out daily for day trips. Sicily did not lend itself to this way of travel, and although i was happy to have a "crash course" on the areas around the perimeter of the island, we missed our usual way of travel.
We traveled by rented car for 16 days. For the most part, we did not find the traffic or the driving any more diificult than other European areas. We did not drive in Palermo, dropping off the car at the airport before going to our last spot. Since Larry speaks Italian, he can read the signs and in general, does not find communicating difficult.
For the most part, we enjoyed all the paces we stayed in- we had chosen a variety of lodging, and they all were quite lovely. It was quite hot while we were in Sicily- those of you who detest the heat as I do should make sure that you chose places with AC. We tend to chose modest B&B's or hotels, and found these choices quite nice. We had listed the hotels in a previouds thread and if you have any questions that can't wait till Larry gets his report done, please contact us. One place that really stood out was an organic farm outside of Agrigento. The owner and host was truly gracious and lovely, and the setting, quite near the ruins, was charming. We had 2 dinners at the faerm, which were good and served family style. What was so nice was eating outisde and talking with folks from diverse locations. It does not particularly cater to AMericans, but English was one of the common languages.
Starting in Taormina after a flight to Catania, we were impressed with the views as most people are. However, they are not that different from other areas and doesn't compare to the Amafi Coast. It was very hot and crowded as expected, but the hotel was great and central and we loved the ruins and the small village- a nice way to start.
We continued to Syracusa, staying in Ortygia, which we loved. We walked to most places and occassionally took a taxi if the heat was too overwhelming, but did not move the car until we left for Ragussa. Usual highlights of both areas were enjoyed.
Agrigento was a highlight and then on to Trapani and Palermo.
We liked a lot of the food, but since I am allergic to all shellfish, I found some of the food repetitive. Larry enjoyed it more. We usually chose small restuarants that are not particulalry rated or recommended, and find that we eat well. Often, we ask the owner or manager for recommendations, and that works well.
All in all, we liked the trip alot. It probaly wan't one our favorite- I am drawn to Provence and Tuscany, and whenever we are thinking of the next trip, we lean towards one of those destinations. Perhaps it's because I speak French and Larry speaks Italian, French, and Spanish. I want to visit Greece and Turkey and a number of other places, but it seems we're heading back to Provence this spring to see the lavander (we have always missed it).
Please let me know if you have specific questions and be patient for the complete trip report- knowing LArry, it will be long and complete.

Hi, I, too am waiting for justretired trip report! I went back to your planning thread and see that we are going some similar places. Also, i used to live in Wayland. Can you PM me on Trip Advisor, alison18losangeles?
We are going in May and I'd love to pick your brains! Thanks.

We just returned from a 2 weeks roundtrip across Sicily, starting and ending in Catania, getting around in a rented car. It was all ok, the only two issues we had were
1. the crazy traffic on those crazy streets
2. finding affordable restaurants (we're a family of four and it was difficult to find not too expensive restaurants)
The highlights of the trip were the Etna, the Greek temples in Selinunte and Agrigento and Ragusa.
I'll post a detailed trip report as soon as I find some time.

One of the most valuable high-tech tools introduced in the last decade has been finite element analysis (FEA) simulation software that stamping tool makers can use to test forming conditions and design dies in the virtual world. This reduces tooling and product design time and saves costs of prototyping and experimentation to find the right design. Training the tool designer or process engineer how to use simulation software can provide a quick ROI and improve the bottom line.

Pigeon Forge, Tenn., March 3, 2015 –The Fee/Hedrick Family Entertainment Group in Pigeon Forge, Tenn., is offering Area Appreciation Days with special discounted rates to all of their theater's shows until March 15 to area residents of six East Tennessee counties.
The entertainment company has five live stage shows. Four of the shows ("The Comedy Barn®", "The Smoky Mountain Opry," "Magic Beyond Belief" and "The Blackwoods Morning Show") are being offered for $9.95 per person plus tax. "The Hatfield and McCoy Dinner Show" is available during this special promotion for $14.95 plus tax (includes dinner).

Only one ID is required per immediate family. This cannot be combined with any other offer. Blackout dates may apply.
- The Comedy Barn Theater® is celebrating 20 years of success as the world's largest and most successful clean comedy theater.
- Named Southern Living Magazine's "Don't Miss Variety Show," in Pigeon Forge two months ago, "The Smoky Mountain Opry" features music from Broadway to gospel to country, performed by the region's largest cast of singers, dancers, illusionists, musicians, jugglers and comedians.

MILWAUKEE -- Bucks forward Drew Gooden will be sidelined four to six weeks because of lingering problems with plantar fasciitis in his left foot.
General manager John Hammond says Gooden will undergo treatment on Wednesday in Los Angeles. The injury has already cost Gooden 21 games this season, including the past six.
Gooden signed a $32 million, five-year contract in the offseason. He's averaging 10.8 points and 6.5 rebounds in 25 games this season. Gooden used padding in his shoe to try to alleviate the pain, but was often limping in pregame.
"It's just part of our season so far," coach Scott Skiles said. "You don't ever want anybody to be out, but at least we know now how long he's going to be out."
Skiles spoke before the Bucks played at Phoenix on Wednesday night. In addition to Drew's absence, Milwaukee also was without center Andrew Bogut because of a bruised right knee. Bogut was relieved that the injury was not more serious. He was hurt in the fourth quarter of Milwaukee's loss to the Clippers in Los Angeles.p

If the Jets really wanted to move on from Bryan Thomas, they would've done it in the offseason, when he was a free agent -- a 33-year-old linebacker coming off Achilles-tendon and shoulder surgeries.
But they didn't. They re-signed Thomas, a former first-round pick and longtime starter, to a one-year, $990,000 contract in March. I remember having a conversation with Thomas in late May, and he told me he was touched the organization stuck by him even as he was rehabbing from the operations.
"The organization has been wonderful," Thomas said at the time. "For them to re-sign me in this situation, I was truly grateful. They could've said, 'Go.'"
Technically, Thomas is free to go after being released Saturday, but does this sound like someone who wants to leave the only NFL team he's ever known? Hardly. Barring something totally unforeseen, he will re-sign with the Jets on Monday or Tuesday. (Besides, does anyone think they'd eat the $761,765 remaining on his $925,000 base salary?)
This move was all about roster management. Down to four cornerbacks with Ellis Lankster (back) out of Sunday's game, the Jets wanted to sign DB Donnie Fletcher from the practice squad to give them an extra pair of legs to help them against the 90-degree heat and the Dolphins' hurry-up offense. Thomas, plagued by a hamstring injury, wasn't going to play anyway, so they released him and promoted Fletcher.
Thomas doesn't lose any money; his entire salary is guaranteed as a vested veteran. He just spends two or three days in limbo. Sure, he can listen if another team calls, but it's highly unlikely he'd leave. The Jets were loyal to him, and he'll be loyal to them.

Only Robin Williams could get Charlie Rose to do a fist bump.Credit: Getty Images
For a long minute Monday night, it felt like the entire Internet felt the loss of Robin Williams.
At one point, six of the 10 trending topics on Twitter were related to the comedian, who was found dead at his California home on Monday afternoon. He had committed suicide, according to the coroner's office.
In addition to all the people who had watched Williams' TV shows or movies were his many famous friends — and fans. Here are some of their memorable tributes:
Comedian Patton Oswalt gave a fitting tribute with a reference to the ultimate sad clown story.

# China gold # CGSE # largest gold consumer # SHFE gold contract
Analysts said the Society has to order four times its usual amount of gold bars from Switzerland and London to meet the increased demand.
BEIJING(BullionStreet): Surge in gold transactions in mainland China and Hong Kong forced Chinese Gold & Silver Exchange Society (CGSE) to order for more gold.
Analysts said the Society has to order four times its usual amount of gold bars from Switzerland and London to meet the increased demand.
They said recent drop in prices spurred the massive demand with daily total transactions multiplied to 160 billion Hong Kong dollars ($20.6 billion)
Analysts said buyers may have to wait, however, until early May to get more gold to buy.
They added that gold trading channels in Chinese market are relatively narrow and the pricing power of country's gold market is weaker than the more mature markets overseas.
The gap between trading times in Shanghai, London or New York has been a problem for domestic individual investors as the gold price in the global market dropped off the cliff — Chinese investors not sell off because the domestic trading platform was not in trading hours.

Opposition protecting drug lords, launderers – Rohee
General Secretary of the People's Progressive Party, Clement Rohee yesterday charged that opposition parties are withholding support for the anti-money laundering bill to protect drug lords and money launderers.
When asked to provide proof of the allegations he would only say that the evidence was in the opposition's resistance to furthering the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-ing the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) (Amendment) Bill as exemplified by their walk out of a meeting of the anti-money laundering select committee on Monday.
Speaking at a PPP press conference at Freedom House, he said "the opposition parties in the National Assembly are protecting the vested interests of a few whose operations, perhaps survival, will be affected if the bill is passed. These persons obviously are person engaged in illicit activities including trading and trafficking in drugs, arms, ammunition and who need to launder the proceeds of their ill-gotten gains".
The opposition has argued that it wants changes made to the bill and also assurances that the machinery will work and result in the prosecution of launderers. The PPP/C government has been criticised for years over its failure to apprehend and charge drug traffickers and money launderers.
When pressed by Stabroek News and other media operatives to explain why current legislation could not lead to the prosecution of criminal elements, Rohee responded by saying "let's move on."
He stated repeatedly that the AML/CFT was the one crucial piece of legislation that could effectively lead to prosecutions. When asked to further explain his stance on current prosecution capabilities with the existing law the minister got visibly agitated and shut down the questions on this particular issue.
In the press statement he read, Rohee said that the PPP/C was positive that the opposition had ties to criminal elements. This allegation has frequently been made by the PPP but no investigations or prosecutions have resulted.
Rohee also stated that "the Financial Action Task Force in its most recent public disclosure called Guyana the most delinquent of the delinquent countries…Guyana is therefore the leading contender to FATF/ICRG (International Co-operation Review Group)."
He stated that there were potential tiers and that "maybe regionally we were blacklisted," and now internationally may be the next step. The general secretary of the ruling party vehemently denied that he was "guessing his way through" answers when Stabroek News inquired why there seemed to be no consistency on the attributes of blacklisting and its repercussions.
Rohee noted that the AML/CFT legislation was a serious matter and that there were views in the public that the government was "joking" and that only when real signs of impact were felt would the general public accept the seriousness of the legislation.
However, Rohee refused to say what the ruling party's decision would be in relation to voting for opposition-approved legislation to gain the votes needed for the AML/CFT Bill. He said that it was a wait and see game and that Monday's walkout from the select committee established to review the legislation didn't give much signs of hope.
Opposition Leader David Granger has said that the opposition would not support the anti-laundering bill unless its legislation which was not assented to by President Donald Ramotar is given final approval. For this to happen, the bills would have to be sent back to the President with two-thirds support from the National Assembly which would entail the PPP/C voting with the opposition.

I write posts all the time and then don't post them because I feel conflicted about sharing feelings with the public or I just can't figure out an elegant way to express myself or I'm just being lazy and watching a lot of pirated TV instead. Now a lot of my posts are no longer timely, so here is a summary of what I really should have posted since February.
My English storytime that I give as a volunteer at the library started taking off and now there's a spin-off English-speaking playgroup in our city. At this playgroup, Little Girl is about a million times better at English than the other kids. This has given strength to my decision to keep Baby Brother home with me (instead of starting daycare) at least another school term. It's important to me that my kids be well-established in English as their mother tongue. Besides, his Swedish is not behind at all either, so I don't think it's to his detriment.
I gave up on trying to be a part of the village mommy-group because they always wanted to take two-hour stroller-pushing speed-walking forest treks in freezing rain. This torture combined with speaking Swedish in a high-stakes social setting stressed me out too much. Then, I tried attending their coffee/pastry get-togethers, but since all the other babies were pre-walkers (because the mothers disappear back into the workforce once their kids turn one) my toddler was having a very, very boring time at their homes not being allowed to interact with their un-baby-proofed coffee tables full of knick knacks and remote controls.
My psychologist fixed me right up! That and the reappearance of the sun. Perhaps hating living in Sweden is seasonal? Also, when I wrote my post all about hating Sweden, I was very sleep-deprived, being at the end of an (unsuccessful) week-long attempt to get Little Girl to stay in her own bed all night long.
I joined a volunteer group that visits elderly shut-ins. I got assigned to someone who was neither elderly nor shut-in, but was very lonely. It became quickly clear why nobody wanted to have contact with him. Now I don't, either.
My very own evening English courses, with assorted specialties, are being offered for the fall!!! My name is on the school's website and everything! This does not equal certain employment because it depends on how many students sign up, but it's close!
That problematic seven-year-old boy at Little Girl's school threatened her with a knife and nobody at the school thought this was worthy of a mention to me. Husband and I went nuclear and let Little Girl stay at home a while (she was too scared to go back), and then I attended at her side for a few days to help her feel safe and see what was going on there exactly. Mostly, I have to say, I concluded her kindergarten experience was good, if shockingly un-academic. Since my time was a kindergartner, Little Girl reported they had "fixed" this boy, which I guess meant they were making some kind of effort at the school to keep her safe from him. In recent weeks, however, she has said he has called her names and spit on her face and kept her from being able to get food. I would take this up with the principal again, except that he, the fifth principal for this school in three years, is taking sick leave due to being stressed about dealing with the school's many problems. Yes, what a typically-Swedish solution to having too many work problems: claim you are "stressed" and fix none of them at all and don't worry about how this affects other people. We are pissed and powerless.
I became alarmed that I have so many Swedish readers and felt worried I was offending them/you guys whenever I bitch about Sweden. I was grateful I have never gotten any dickish comments from anyone anywhere.
My in-laws are lovely people and my kids think they are the BEST.
I lost my mind over the winter regarding Baby Brother's name. I decided I hated how it's pronounced differently in English and Swedish and this turned out to be related to a bunch of issues I have about being an immigrant. Now, thanks to the psychologist, I am back to having a delightfully uncomplicated relationship to his name, which is a relief.
I tried to join Little Girl's school's version of the Parent-Teacher Association, which actually is just the P, since there are no Ts in it and thus no A. I was going to make the school better! It turns out their focus is on party-planning in order to do things like raise money to purchase McDonald's for the kids while on a field trip. There is nothing at all about improving the actual school. Also, it was fascinating to see how they planned their events. I couldn't follow the logic at all when it came to, for example, how much to charge per waffle and how many waffles to prepare. I am going to call it a cultural difference because the alternative is concluding those ladies were morons.
Baby Brother is 21 months old and just totally amazing and delightful and deserves not to be a footnote so he'll get his own post.
Husband and I took a long weekend trip to Prague to celebrate our ten years of marriage. (In other news, TEN YEARS? WTF?) The kids were cared for by their grandparents and benefited from the Swedish-language immersion, meatballs, and ice cream. We particularly enjoyed swimming in a pool without trying to keep anybody from drowning; both drinking alcohol at the same time; and flying on an airplane without trying to keep anybody else from kicking the chair in front of them. We fly to America later this week where we will have none of those luxuries, but the consolation prizes are Mexican food, cheap clothes, and a large assortment of over-the-counter pharmacy goods.
I took over dropping Little Girl off at school in the morning, where I am the only parent of a child under ten who does not park his/her car and walk his/her child into the building, down the hall, up the stairs, to his/her cubby, and into the classroom every single morning. Look, the school only has like 80 kids in it and it is no mystery to Little Girl where she is supposed to go. I can't figure out why everybody walks their kids into the building every morning. The school has a pull-through driveway at the front door for, I can only assume, the precise purpose of dropping/picking kids up. Despite early protests from Little Girl, walking to her classroom herself has turned out to be a good step in regards to her self-confidence and independence. Sometimes they grow up on their own; sometimes you have to give them a push.

Keppel AmFELS Strengthens GOM Presence
In what could be construed as a sign that good times are indeed ahead for the Gulf of Mexico offshore business, Amfels Inc. was recently renamed Keppel AmFELS, Inc. leveraging the Keppel and FELS brand names in its vision to further strengthen its presence in the Gulf of Mexico. The renaming ceremony took place on November 15, 2004, at the Keppel yard in Brownsville, Texas. Guest-of-Honour, Honourable Congressman Solomon P.

"The renaming to Keppel AmFELS reflects its regional affiliation in Northern and Central America which covers USA, Canada and Mexico whose markets Keppel AmFELS is actively participating." Particularly for Mexico, the government is planning to raise its crude oil and natural gas production in the next five years. According to a report by PEMEX, the national oil company, new investments have been planned for the development of infrastructure, exploration and production activities and offshore support equipment and vessels in order to maintain and increase its existing reserves and production levels.

How differently things could have turned out. It might not, for instance, have fallen to Jamie Oliver to have renovated our school dinners. And – who knows? – perhaps David Cameron would be campaigning on the platform of free goji berries for all.
If only... Gillian McKeith hadn't withdrawn her application to be a Conservative councillor.
Yes, that's right: You Are What You Eat's infamous stool-dissecting dietician, "Dr" Gillian McKeith, once sat before a selection committee in the hope of standing as a councillor in Hampstead.
The revelation comes courtesy of Piers Wauchope's new book, Camden, A Political History. As the leader of the Camden Conservatives until 2006, Wauchope was present at McKeith's interview for the post.
"The chair asked her why she wanted to be a councillor and she said: 'I want to be an MP for Hampstead'," explains Wauchope. "I had to leave the room because I could not help myself from having an attack of the giggles."
McKeith had yet to land her high-profile gig with Channel 4 – though, it would seem, she wasn't lacking in confidence. "Her husband kept saying she would be bigger than Glenda Jackson in a year's time – we just could not work out why. About a month after the interview, she wrote to us to say she could not stand after all, and that was the last we heard of her." The shame!
Ronnie keeps the airwaves rolling
*Hats off to Absolute Radio, who have done what many wouldn't dare: entrust an hour of weekly broadcast time to Ronnie Wood. The (still) hard-living Rolling Stone promises to deliver a "compelling hour of music, nostalgia and tales". Thus far, producers assure us, he has yet to display his famously debauched tendencies: "Actually, no, he's been professional all the way. He's warm and has really grown as a presenter." Episodes are to be recorded prior to being broadcast, so don't expect any Ross-style rants.
Ghosts of prime ministers past
*"I wish he wouldn't keep piggy-backing on my publicity," complained Robert Harris at the screening of The Ghost, the big -screen adaptation of his novel. "This date was fixed a long time in advance."
The subject of his gripe was, naturally, Tony Blair, whose tenure provided the inspiration for Harris's fictional PM. "Maybe when the DVD comes out we can do a two-for-the-price-of-one offer with his memoirs. The film is a kind of trailer to them." What do you think, Tony?
Honestly, we're in a no-win situation
*For the first year in its history, the Adam Smith Institute has opted not to award its annual Honest Politician Of The Year Award, explaining that "no qualifying candidates could be found". Surely not! Anthony Steen was, apparently, nominated after claiming that people were "jealous" of his sprawling second home, as was Sir Nicholas Winterton for airing his opinion of standard-class travellers ("a totally different type of people"). Alas, neither man quite made the grade. Not to worry: "Next year we will give an award for Corrupt Politician Of The Year," the event's organisers added. "Corrupt politicians are actually the most honest. When bought, they stay bought." A new law to live by, then.
