Getting ready to go!
Hello All, I'm getting ready to go to Italy for 2 months, October 14 through December 13. I've got all my lodgings reserved (all from Airbnb). I'll be going to: City Date # days Milano 10/15/2019 4 Padova 10/19/2019 4 Treviso/Venezia 10/23/2019 7 Bergamo 10/30/2019 7 Bologna 11/6/2019 5 Firenze 11/11/2019 7 Siena 11/18/2019 5 Montalcino 11/23/2019 4 Lucca 11/27/2019 5 Alba 12/2/2019 7 Milano 12/9/2019 4 Return 12/13/2019 As usual, I'll be following the food and wine in each region with a side of art. This trip I discovered Amazon sell European SIMs. In the past, you had to get into the country you were visiting, go to a mobile service provider store (e.g., last trip I used Vodafone and Telcom Italia), wait in line for quite a while, and finally buy the SIM. In some cases these SIMs would work within an hour or two, in others it might take a day before they would work. And these pre-paid SIMs would only work in the country you bought them
