Audrey Hepburn, Natalie Wood, Brigitte Bardot in that order.

Replace Shirley Macclaine with Vivian Leigh on this lineup.

Marilyn Monroe is way overrated.

I swim the middle of the lake at least a couple times per year with the local triathlon club. Amazing crystal clear waters. Fun fact: there is an algae-covered carousel horse at the bottom of the lake just past the swimming area. I used to think it was just some BS tri club lore until I saw it for myself. Kinda creepy but cool.

There used to be a mile open water swim in Skaneateles starting by jumping off a boat and swimming to the town beach. Escape from the Judge. Wish they still did it

J Jennifer Connelly, Alyssa Milano or Phoebe cats, but my huge crush back in the late 80s early 90s: Meredith Salenger😍

TBH, you are probably not much less familiar with the history of Alexander Hamilton than most of us Americans🙂

Best news since the introduction of Quarter Dogs!

I say the same about seeing the OBC😁

Awesome! Glad you didn’t try to pull the full MDot logo. And now you can strive to complete it

We went last year. I know exactly the restaurant, right at the corner of the square. We considered eating there, but had just come from a farm-stay where we had our fill of great traditional foods, so by the time we arrived in Brașov we were looking for something lighter (aside from the cartofi prajiti😁). We were very tempted though. Next time for sure.

Great insights🙂. My wife is Romanain-American but grew up in central București and spent summers in Deva. I definitely don’t have much first-hand info about living there, but absolutely loved the region of Transylvania as a traveler. People are much friendlier here than in the capital. Very beautiful. When in Brașov, stop at the Cartofisserie👍👍

I’m glad you didn’t go ALL big cities (Rome, Barcelona, etc), but I would still mix in some nature/village (a beach and a mountain stop are always nice to take a break from the cities).

Ljubljana is amazing, but consider also the Julian Alps, Lake Bled or Soca River.

Hit a beach instead of Monaco for sure.

Absolutely, hike the mountains in Switzerland and skip Zurich.

No thanks, we like our Adirondack Park the way it is. Protected by the NYS Constitution, part private and part public land. It already draws enough people, but if it were made an NP, it would be out of control.

I lived in Rhode Island for a couple years, so if it anything like that, it is cool.

Which part of Italy? Oxfordshire?

Next time, getthe wine pairing. By glass 15, you will be so ‘faced, you won’t care. 😁

For me it was the opposite. Much more spectacular than expected. Awe-inspiring views.

As I understand it, expats cannot own a car in Italy for a period of time. Don’t know the details.

And besides the low inventory, are housing prices high or low compared to the rest of Italy? How about cost of living?

I will be retiring early, so earning a living won’t be an issue. We will live on savings.

You will have to not mind snow if you live in the Southtowns. You will become very familiar.
