[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 971882, member: 12570"] My point was why in the world would you travel to a foreign country and never leave the confines of a man-made resort? I spent a year in Sicily. Many of my fellow servicemen never left the base. I knew that I would have never gone to Sicily on my own dime and vowed to take advantage of the opportunity. I saw many of the same things DS saw (except for the armed civilians). The Sicilians liked to use the side of the road as their landfill. You did not drink the water. Milk came in boxes. The beer sucked. But.... ...the natural beauty of the island more than made up for any of this. Where else can you go where there is an active volcano and beautiful beaches within an hours drive of each other? The food was superb and their relaxed lifestyle helped put things in to perspective.
