    Wow so much useful information. If only I was 20 years younger, I would give anything to live there for at least 3 months at a time. Thank you so much for such awesome information. Both of you are looking good. Hugs 🤗 and love 💕

Really would love ❤️ to have 3 months there. My sister and I would be on a plane now if it were possible. Thank you again for sharing the beauty of Sicily 🐞🌻🤗🤗🐞❤️🇮🇹❤️

    First that color pink looks beautiful on you. Thank you for your videos. I'm working on my dual citizenship. I really want to visit but I'm nervous about visiting by myself and I feel like I need to visit for more than 7 days. Sooo many questions about everything. Your videos are super helpful. Thank you!

    Phone topic: I live in Sicily full time. I use one phone and have both my CA # and my local Sicilian #.
    My T-Mobile account uses an eSIM (electronic SIM) with my CA # and my Italian # phone plan from TIM uses a physical SIM card.
    Sooooo much easier having one phone.

We'll probably get an account with UniCredit when we get back. Grazie 💚 Blessings, ~ Carol Amato P.S. We pay $15/month each for our US numbers and €8/month each for our Italian numbers.

    This was a helpful episode, if I could propose another topic for a future video, could you please advise the process of how you go about setting up the utilities in your home? Where do you go? What are the names of the companies to get the electric, water, sewer, and cable connected? How long does it take to get the utilities connected? Where do you go to pay them monthly? Thanks!

    Is there any reason to keep an American bank account if you plan to stay in Sicily permanently? My husband was thinking he could just have his retirement check direct deposited into the Italian bank account.
