Destination Highlight - Embrace the Beauty of Sicily

The largest island in the Mediterranean, Sicily is rich in history, stunning natural beauty, and cultural diversity. From the towering Mount Etna to the charming coastal villages, every corner of this island tells a story shaped by the Greeks, Romans, Arabs, Normans, and Spanish. Sicily’s vibrant traditions and incredible cuisine make it a must-visit for 2025!

Travel Tip - Always use bank machines that have the actual bank name on them.  If you use ATMs that just allow you to get cash or say currency exchange, you will pay a huge transaction fee!  Check to see if your bank or credit card company waives foreign transaction fees and when using your credit cards abroad, always have charges made in the local currency, not U.S. dollars.

Plane, Train, or Automobile? - Grace says, "If I have a preference, I would choose to travel by train.  Train travel offers a unique blend of comfort, convenience, and sustainability. It allows passengers to relax and enjoy scenic landscapes without the stress of driving or navigating airports. With the freedom to move around, and no lengthy security lines, trains provide a hassle-free experience. Additionally, they are an eco-friendly choice, producing significantly lower carbon emissions compared to planes or cars. Whether you're traveling between cities or through picturesque countryside, trains combine efficiency with the charm of the journey itself."
