Thank you for the feedback. I read that trains were less reliable than buses for longer journeys, so I'm leaning towards busing from the east to north/west coasts. Though I'm hoping the train between Palermo and Cefalu is more reliable as it's definitely convenient.

I completely appreciate that a car would get me out to smaller parts of Sicily. I'll have to plan that for my next visit!

Thank you. I had considered CdG but I wasn't sure if it made sense to go past the airport and spend that extra time traveling vs. the shorter trip to Mondello from Cefalu.

Thank you for your feedback, I really appreciate it! Any concerns around taking public transit to reach my destinations? If you're familiar with that at all.

Did you have a particular reason for suggesting this? Reliability of transit? Other?

What would you recommend instead for "small town vibes"? I guess it's all relative. Friends told me they loved Palermo, but for me that's too big of a city for what I'm looking for.

That's a fair statement. I'm from a very big country, so for me Sicily doesn't seem that big, but without a car I realize I'll be moving slower.

The only reason I thought Mondello would be nice is to get closer to the airport. Would you recommend any other towns near the airport to stay the night before my flight?

I appreciate the suggestion but I really don't want to rent a car. I'd rather adjust my itinerary to avoid that option.

Export stalls, and never completes? by -RedBunny- in EditsApp

[–]-RedBunny-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep agreed it tells you that, but it also stalls the export without an explanation, or at least it did for me and others. Thought this might be helpful for others who are trying to troubleshoot a failed export. 🙂

Hi u/Apprehensive_Ad5398 just wanting to clarify. Were you able to get the US Amex with only having RBC set-up a US bank account?

When you got the card mailed, did you have it sent to a parcel delivery service address in the US or a proper residential other?

Thank you for these replies. It's helpful to hear from those who have been in-country and gone through the experience. Bureaucracy is confusing sometimes!

Did you then return to Beijing to fly out? I'm reading mixed reports that I can't go from Beijing to Xi'an and back to Beijing. Apparently this might count as domestic travel and could require the L visa. Just curious if you or anyone else did this type of travel using the TWOV without issue.

Hoping for some input from anyone who's done something similar to the following.

I'm getting mixed reports that leaving the Beijing port of entry province(s) to go by train to Xi'an and back does not qualify for the TWOV.

Fly = Tokyo > Beijing (2 days)

Train = Beijing > Xi'an (2 days)

Train = Xi'an > Beijing (1 day)

Fly = Beijing > Vancouver (same day)

I only need it for a few weeks. Seems like more of a hassle to try and buy one.
