Great idea about the butter..I need to do that next time,,it's so much better than Land O Lakes (!!!!)
I have hotel stickers that my parents collected in the 50s and 60s from some of the great old hotels......will think about gluing them on.....
Did I mention that So MANY of the bAgs on the Lufthansa flight from Munich to JFK were Rimowa?? Most were the classic silver. None of them looked terribly beat up but some had dents.
But those were check in.......which I might have to get one of these days!!
Yes, I wrote about Sicily..look on the Europe board......also wrote about the food on HungryOnion.org.....I think those are in different categories...one for Catania and one foe Aeolian Islands...and one for Marina di Ragusa......I will link them if you cannot find..
You were an inspiration for me to buy that Rimowa bag!! Thank you!!!!!!!! It is amazing how much easier it is to drag that than the older two-wheelers, which are all of my other suitcases......I been have a beautiful Brics..dark navy with tan trim. Carry on, but very heavy and only two wheels....never used! I think I bought it in a sample sale here in NYC..will take photo of t hat one also....
My graduation present from college was a set of black and red Lark suitcases!!!! You are too young to remember that brand. they had no wheels, but I schlepped them all around SE Asia India, etc when I was in my 20s! All the other "budget" travelers had backpacks but there was I, with my Larks, imprinted with my initials and slapped with my stickers from college that my Dad plastered on them!!!

Oh I'm glad you love your bag! I noticed lots of Rimowa bags too on my recent trip and am now thinking about getting a checked size-maybe the trunk version. I love your graduation luggage! When I hitch-hiked around Europe with my friend at 18 yoa for some reason I didn't want to have a backpack so I had a soft sided bag with a big shoulder strap that was about the size of a big carry on. I remember my Dad saying is that all you are taking? Don't you want to maybe ship a trunk or a large suitcase ahead of you? Don't know how I managed but my clothes were much smaller then and I was much more low maintenance ha ha.
I am enjoying your Catania report, will read the others and check out the hungry onion too, thanks! You are very brave driving there.

After reading the comments, I now want to try a Rimowa suitcase.
It's a pity that there are no brand stores in my country and there are almost only cheaper, medium-quality suitcases in the shops. Of course, American Tourister or Samsonite are available, but they are not the same. Should I go abroad and buy a Rimowa suitcase in person at a brand store, or should I be brave enough and order it in a webshop?
