We were stationed with the Air Force in West Germany back in the middle 70s. The in laws visited and we pulled a Tabert camper 4 adults 3 little kids and off to Italy for 3 weeks! When we got to Rome, we stayed out of town at Camping Fabulous and took the bus into the heart of Rome every morning. Actually, a bus, a short subway and another bus got us close to the USO. If you have only one city to visit in Europe my vote is for Rome. I could go on…but stunning, friendly, gorgeous people who smell incredible! The art alone….chef’s kiss. Go! Been 50 years since my visit and I feel so fortunate to have visited Rome.
I’m sorry Caleb, this is like parents feeding you Mac-n-cheese then having steak after you go to bed 😂😂😂 What a wonderful way to dive into empty nesting….having a second honeymoon ❤ You two look wonderful, happy and youthful, I’m so excited for you and can’t wait to see all of your trip !!! Blessings
you guys know that, everytime you mention mac'n'cheese, the first thing that comes in mind of Italians is some messy cheesy McDonald's hamburger? 😂😂😂 I always have to think twice about this
Marc- I just want to rent a car... and just GO.. somewhere! We'll just stumble upon things... Tricia- Okaaaay... and looking a bit lost as the planner/researcher with no destination! Ending with the backing up the narrow street! LOL 🤣😂 Ahhhh....Italy. Always an adventure!! God Bless!
New season of KYD. New season of life for Marc & Trish. We all miss the kids but it's still so fun to travel with you guys! You always document everything so well and you never fail to put a smile on our faces. Thank you for all you do❤
Italy is a beautiful country. I loved Florence because of all the art. But anywhere in Italy is wonderful. So glad you loved Assisi. It certainly is a special place. I agree, tours are a great way to get to know a place. We do that too. In the Catholic church, the bells ring 3 times a day; 6am, noon and 6pm. We pray the Angelus each time. People stop what they are doing and bow their heads and pray. Some churches still do that.
Le campane suonano anche decine di volte al giorno, dipende dal timer e dalla benevolenza dei cittadini. Ma dove hai visto chi china la testa tre volte al giorno, forse ti confondi con i paesi arabi😂😂😂.

I’ve spent 8+ weeks in Italy over the past 4 years and there’s still way more to see. I usually watch your videos dreaming of my next home trip (trying to cross off all 50 states) but so glad to see you guys exploring Europe. Like Mark, some of my favorite places there have been unplanned travel days, though Positano and Capri are stunning and worth the trip.
I've been a viewer for few years now. I love watching all of your adventures and I'm looking forward to what's to come. You guys are crushing it!! Keep up the good work!
You went from teaching people how to back up a trailer to touring Italy!!! So happy for your family. You all were my inspiration to go full time. Over two years now.
They haven't seen or filmed in Rome, they showed us stereotypes, bullshit, but is it a video just to see the costs and report them? Then always go to the crowded places with rude foreign tourists. Thanks to the bullshit about Italy, but if Italy is in the G7, 2ND EUROPEAN INDUSTRY, 5ST EXPORTAT THE WORLD, TOURISTS ARE STUPID, IF YOU TAKE AWAY RICH LONDON, THE REMAINING GREAT BRITAIN IS THE GOAL OF THE ITALIAN ECONOMY BUT STEREOTYPES. THE ENGLISH ARE OBESE AND SICKLY, LIKE THE USA.
OH I know this is going to be epic. Just you and Trish in Italy? Awesome! I have a feeling Marc is now going to have to ham it up now Caleb is in school too!!
The Moka pot is one of the best things ever! We have done 4 trips to Italy in the past 6 years and that was one of the things that never stopped. Best coffee ever! Enjoy!
Italy is my dream trip. I’ve been to Germany. I’ve been to France almost to Italy. I’ve been to Austria and the Bahamas, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Jamaica, Cayman Islands, Key West, and other places, but I haven’t been Italy yet. So thank you for the view of something that I really want to do. It’s on my bucket list to go to Italy and Greece since I’ve already been to France. So thank you for sharing your empty nest trip. Have fun you guys.
Sooo excited to watch you two in Italy.. I’ve been 3 times in the past 10 years but have so much more to see!!! I can’t wait to come along & live vicariously through you& your friends … your itinerary looks AAWWmazing! Sundays can’t come fast enough! Safe travels!💖
Love this video and how you are embracing this season! Thanks for taking us with you! Hope you travel next door to SLOVENIA during this trip. It's gorgeous, too!!
Lovely. Thanks for doing this. I've never really had an itch to go to Italy (we travel to Asia) & still don't but thanks for the opportunity through your eyes. Nice job. Love your attitude Mark. That is how we usually. We sit in a room for a couple days & get our berings then get a car & just drive. We've always had a wonderful time & always meet wonderful people.
Wow! This is a BIG surprise! Have to wait another half hour to watch, because my son and I always watch together and he's at work, but then I'll (we'll) be back - SO VERY EXCITED!!!
We went all over Italy last year for our anniversary and I love seeing all these sights again! So happy for you guys, glad you took an empty nester trip ❤
Glad you got your flighr We are Talor county Fl. We took a direct hit from the hurricane power restored in about a week internet and landline phone was out about 3 weeks. A ton of trees down power pole pulled down but things are cleaning up slowly. And no one was hurt
When my daughter was stationed in Germany, I visited her for 2 weeks and had the time of my life. We were going to see Italy but time ran out. We went to Paris & so many other places. I’ll never forget it!
How wonderful to relive Italy through your eyes. You are doing some of the same things we did, but much more that is new to us. We also traveled with friends (two other couples) and had a ball. One big thing we did different was rent a BIG villa in the middle of Tuscany for our first week. We had breakfast and dinner each day in the villa. We hadn't planned to eat each evening in the villa but the cook was so great we all agreed to do our sightseeing during the day. I know you will have a GREAT time, hiccups and all! 🍷🍽🥂

So much fun11. What a great new season. When my daughter graduated from H.S., before she went off to college, we went on an all girls trip with two other moms and their daughters all throughout Europe. It was a Gilmore girls type of trip. One of our FAVORITE places was Italy. Enjoy it to the full!!!
I did a tour of Italy 5 years ago. We used a Hop On Hop Off bus to see some of Rome. Out hotel was just 3 blocks from the Coliseum. We also took a bus tour to Lake Como from Milan. Well worth it given the traffic and narrow roads around Lake Como.
KYD!! Well deserved vacation after raising 3 kids !! Very well raised I might add !! Always enjoyed your video's these many years !! It gets better and refined as time goes forward!! Thanks for your efforts and greetings from Canada!! GIDDYUP!!
I adored Rome when my best friend and I visited! We did it by cruise ship because of our time, but made the most of Rome by planning ahead and using the hop on hop off bus and just running around using the map. I think we put on 10 miles easy that day! I love how you guys have time to explore and take in everything! I hope you actually do the Amalfi coast because we loved it and it was totally worth the hype!
What a beautiful travelogue in a stunning country. I visited the Amalfi coast as part of a solo tour of Italy in 2007 (so...times have changed!) but I LOVED it. Seeing the Grotta Azzura and the island of Capri (while yes, very touristy) just blew me away. It seems like visiting either Amalfi area or the Cinque Terra is a must and you'll be happy either way 🥰
I have hoped for a long time now that you both would do an RV trip through Europe and the UK once you were empty nesters. Italy, by itself, is enough! Thank you for bringing us along! I'm so happy for you guys! Oh, and Carson's here in Honolulu? Aloha Carson!
We are so excited to catch up. What a great series. We are going to visit Italy in the spring when we leave Ukraine. This looks like a great trip. Our trip starts in December.
How do you find so much time to research for travel. Would love to see a video on how you research these travels and how long it takes to complete the research. ❤️. Safe travels!
In Italia puoi andare dove vuoi, anche a casaccio, ti diverti e trovi sempre qualcosa di interesante da vedere. Un mio amico mi ha chiesto un paesino dove soggiornare una notte in Abruzzo, essendo io un grande viaggiatore. Ho preso la cartina geografica e gli ho indicato un paesino a caso, mi piaceva il nome! Dopo anni mi ringrazia ancora per la bella esperienza!
Yeah once we left Rome we winged it too! Worked out fine. That was back in 1994(?) but I think it still works. We were there for a month also-we had both been laid off! Such an opportunity was not going to happen again. We did it on the cheap staying in hostels and little pensiones. Rick Steve’s guidebook was all we needed to find our way. We had a blast! Next time we go we’ll maybe stay in fancier digs. (Or maybe not… the hostel experience was pretty fun.)
Amazing…I’m glad you are both enjoying your time together..I booked a 7 day Mediterranean cruise after Christmas …I’m so excited..watching you both gives me lots of information bc we are going to Rome first… enjoy 😊
OMG Guys, I've watched al of your vids and could not be more excited about your Italian adventures. I'm based in Australia and we are buying a farm in Umbria, so coming along on your journey is amazing. We are hoping to be in Italy next month.
How awesome to spend a whole month touring Italy!! I lived in Brindisi when I was about 6 (more years ago then I care to remember) because my dad was in the Air Force and was stationed there. I remember visiting Rome (we stayed with nuns - don’t remember why) and seeing the Sistine Chapel, the Trevi Fountain, the Coliseum (and lots of cats) and trying to get the Vatican Guards to talk to me. My (much older) sister was almost arrested for trying to use counterfeit money (she didn’t know that it was), but thankfully it ended well. Would love to go back as an adult!! Thanks for sharing and looking forward to seeing what adventures you get to experience.
Have been to Italy three times staying with family. Favorite town in Montalcino, where the Brunello's come from. Great Place. Grandparents came from Bagnacavallo, near Revenna.
Thanks for taking me along to Italy. I was at our cabin last weekend and one of the football games on the dish was Liberty, I was tempted to watch it just to see if Caleb was at the game... but I didn't. A classmate of mine, decades ago, from Puerto Rico had a Bialetti (smallest, 3 cup size) and I had to explain to him why he always ended up with the jitters every morning... just too much caffeine for him. The music fit the vibe of your trip, empty nesters who are kids all over again. I imagine that, even with a daughter getting married and your youngest in college, you're living out new daydreams. I'm looking forward to my next transition, semi-retirement, in a few years, and hoping that my bride and I will be enjoying it as much as you are in your transition.
What an incredible new start on a totally new life ❤❤❤❤Empty nesters❤❤❤❤ Will always miss the kids they were so much fun to watch them grow ! But dang, why so fast 😢
I grew up washing and drying my parents percolator that they made their coffee with. Haven’t seen one of those in quite a while. So glad you are doing this fun trip
Da italiano mi emoziono sempre nel vedere quanto possa piacere la nostra Italia e di quanto siamo fortunati a vivere qui. Grazie ❤

You two look wonderful, happy and youthful, I’m so excited for you and can’t wait to see all of your trip !!!
Blessings
Lol. I'll tell this to Caleb.
That was beautiful. Loved the marriage advice! 😅 But we didn’t get to hear Marc’s advice! 😂
you guys know that, everytime you mention mac'n'cheese, the first thing that comes in mind of Italians is some messy cheesy McDonald's hamburger? 😂😂😂
I always have to think twice about this
I got a free week of vacation when we lived in Germany. So we bought Rick Steves’ guide to a Italy and just drive south! Best vacation ever!
I like Marks idea about renting a car and driving and stumbling across things.
Love it, my wife is heading to Rome with friends tomorrow!
Have fun! I lived there almost 7 years and it was some of the most fun times of my life. You're never the same after going there.
Marc- I just want to rent a car... and just GO.. somewhere! We'll just stumble upon things...
Tricia- Okaaaay... and looking a bit lost as the planner/researcher with no destination!
Ending with the backing up the narrow street! LOL 🤣😂 Ahhhh....Italy. Always an adventure!! God Bless!
Really looking forward to this this series! Thanks for taking us along your adventures in Italy. This is going to be fantastic!
Love this. So glad you are embracing the empty nest and enjoying yourselves. Your doing things most tourist wouldn't think to do. Have fun.
New season of KYD. New season of life for Marc & Trish. We all miss the kids but it's still so fun to travel with you guys! You always document everything so well and you never fail to put a smile on our faces. Thank you for all you do❤

We went to Rome for 3 days before a cruise with our son. It was AMAZING! Loved seeing some of the same places we went. Definitely want to go back.
Love the way y'all kick off your empty nesting!
Amazingly beautiful, thank you for sharing your experience

The beauty of Italy is a most brilliant way to begin as empty nesters and then to choose the adventure over the well trodden path - yes!

Prova quello con le macchinetta e la pastiglia, fa la crema.
Marc and Trish are my favorite story tellers... You out did yourself on this one, once again!
Even though there are Dips, you guy's are always so calm. Looks like it's going well as well with your friends too.😍🤠

How do you find so much time to research for travel. Would love to see a video on how you research these travels and how long it takes to complete the research. ❤️. Safe travels!
Trish chips away at it slowly. We'll add that topic to our how-to list.

Have been to Italy three times staying with family. Favorite town in Montalcino, where the Brunello's come from. Great Place. Grandparents came from Bagnacavallo, near Revenna.
The scenery, music & the rest - super fun story telling! The Uber part Marc 🥳 but the golf cart tour looked great!

The music fit the vibe of your trip, empty nesters who are kids all over again. I imagine that, even with a daughter getting married and your youngest in college, you're living out new daydreams. I'm looking forward to my next transition, semi-retirement, in a few years, and hoping that my bride and I will be enjoying it as much as you are in your transition.
We are broke. We will live vicariously through Mark and Trish.
What an incredible new start on a totally new life ❤❤❤❤Empty nesters❤❤❤❤ Will always miss the kids they were so much fun to watch them grow ! But dang, why so fast 😢
I grew up washing and drying my parents percolator that they made their coffee with. Haven’t seen one of those in quite a while. So glad you are doing this fun trip
Looking forward to this! Learned a lot already. This would be my 1st choice for a European vacation.
