    Tuscany
    Almafi Coast - Positano, Almafi, Sorrento, Naples
    Rome
    Tuscany- San Gimignano as a home base and then all over the region

    Loved Tuscany (imagine that) and even named my dog after the region

    Italian... the language of love... my husband does too.

    I agree people say French is the language of love but I disagree, Italian is much more romantic and bueatiful.

    Malta..

    I went to search them on Google as I was curious to find out.

    Yes lots of tourists, mainly English, Italians, German and French Students...
    Especially in our long summer seasons.

    Good morning from the 'cold' state of Texas, I heard you talking so I assumed somebody had the coffee brewing, or are you too busy touring the world?
  • Nov 17, 2006, 07:16 AM

    We are busy touring the world, want to join? But We got a hot flask of coffee to take along with us :)

    Come Come Tuscany, always welcome.

    Sunny with a few scattered clouds, low winds, 22 deg Celius.
    Same forecast for the whole wkend.

    Snowing in Texas? Your kidding right? I haven't seen snow in a few years and what we get here barely covers the side walk, Now ice is another story. Pass that flask, lets make sure we got real coffee. WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! That'll take the nip out of the air this morning.

    Trying living in Nebraska! Not much to look at..! Right now the sun it out and we are all excited about it being in the 50's this weekend! (That is warm for us this time of year). The farmers almanac calls for 3 major snow storms for our area in December! Bbbbrrrr!

    Tuscany... I see you are from New York! I know I will probably never make it out of the US in my life but I would LOVE to go to NEW YORK!!

    I was just kidding... I live not to far from Buffalo... so we have already been pounded with a good bit of the white stuff... but hey I did not have to teach for like 4 days... and we never lost power

    I must admit I definitely prefer the summer season. I mean here all we get is Summer and Winter. Exteremly HOT summers and winters do get cold but not cold enough to snow and besides we have NO moutains here. But when it rains it rains... The heavens open, we get a lot of storms, heavy ones too, which I love too.

    But in America you must get all the seasons right?

    Depends on where you live in the states. But yes most of the US does get 4 seasons, of varying degrees. We range in temperature from -10 below to 90+ degrees Fahrenheit here in NY, but Tal in Texas might not get such a range.
  • Nov 17, 2006, 07:41 AM

    How do you calculate from Fahrenheit to Celsius?
    As I don't understand Fahrenheit :o

    US is SOOOOOOOOOOO huge, SOOOOOOOOOOO huge man.
    Not many people in Malta are lucky enough to Travel to the US, the flights are so expensive, as we don't have direct flights from here, you would need to get a connecting flight in england or germany...

    I can't imagine it. Especially coming from a person like me, living on an island that 17 miles wide and 5 miles long hehehe... madness!
  • Nov 17, 2006, 07:43 AM

    Temps range from -23 to 32 degrees celsius
