Da italiano mi emoziono sempre nel vedere quanto possa piacere la nostra Italia e di quanto siamo fortunati a vivere qui. Grazie ❤

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’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

Love it, my wife is heading to Rome with friends tomorrow!

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 like Marks idea about renting a car and driving and stumbling across things.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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❤

Really looking forward to this this series! Thanks for taking us along your adventures in Italy. This is going to be fantastic!

My absolute TOP bucket list trip…. Thanks for allowing me to live it vicariously through y’all!! Hopefully I’ll make it there one day 🤞

Adore Italy! You guys seem reenergized. Thanks once again for bringing us along.

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.

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.

Love the way y'all kick off your empty nesting!

Oh my goodness! What fun! Tonight’s video was great, can’t wait to see next week’s ❤

Loved going along with you to Italy. Beautiful scenery. Thanks

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!

Amazingly beautiful, thank you for sharing your experience

Even though there are Dips, you guy's are always so calm. Looks like it's going well as well with your friends too.😍🤠

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!!

Beautiful, amazing and awesome! ❤ enjoy your time🎉

Love this! Italy is so beautiful! So happy for you two ❤

Way to keep a good attitude, keep it real, and go with how you like to travel. Loving it!

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 ❤

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!💖

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!

What an awesome change of pace. Love this adventure!

Loving this video and exploring Italy with you. Enjoy all your travels but this is different, beautiful and informative

AWESOME! We’re headed there next year. I’ll be taking notes!

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.

absolutely love the opening song....so fun! Be safe and have fun!

We're going back there in a year. Great episode. We absolutely love Italy. The people are great. Vespas are like swarms! Happy trails.

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 😊

Thanks for sharing your adventure. Blessings

I love the intro song! Keep having fun!

How exciting!!! Was not expecting Italy...but so looking forward to seeing where you go...take care, god bless...love Peggy

Yay! So glad you two are doing this! Europe is on our bucket list!! So excited to see you visiting Italy!

Wow! That was so much fun!

Great video, it brought back so many lovely memories of when we were last in Rome 😊.

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!!

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!

Well done Marc! Truly a joy to watch.

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.

The opening shot of Piobbico made me so happy to see!!! Thanks so much for including a bit of your stay with us - we had a blast!!

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.

We loved our time in Italy! It was fun seeing all the sites again in your video!

Oh this series is going to b e fun 🍋🧄🫒🍕🍦🍷⛲️🇮🇹

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!!!

So cool! My sister and I are leaving Thursday for 3 weeks in Italy and are staying in that area of Rome too! Glad to hear there are Ubers. ❤

Switching gears was a fabulous idea! Thanks for taking us along.

Loved this video!!! Italy is on our bucket list. Thanks for sharing this 😊

I’m excited about this season! Great video!

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!!!

Looking forward to this! Learned a lot already. This would be my 1st choice for a European vacation.

What an awesome adventure!

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

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

Oh man! I'm going to be waiting so impatiently for future videos. You are living my dream right now. I have a vision of getting a place anywhere in Italy and living there for a month or two and simply immersing myself in everything. You guys show the best stuff. And I learned about an app for off-roading here in Wisconsin I am thinking. ❤

How fun!!! I Looove Italy!!

What a great trip! For our first empty nest trip we camped in BC in areas we’d never had been.

Welcome to Europe!!

I can’t wait to go to Italy soon! Have the best time! ❤️❤️

Magnifico! Bella, Bella!!

Exciting! Looks fun!

The scenery, music & the rest - super fun story telling! The Uber part Marc 🥳 but the golf cart tour looked great!

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 🥰

We loved Rome! We stayed at the intercontinental that was at the top of the Spanish steps. It was amazing. I am watching your series before we plan the next trip!

U Turn 👍 I still remember pre 50K Subs like yesterday. Congratulations on all your journeys you have taken us on. Thank You KYD

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.

Congrats

I loved Sicily and Malta when I was there. Great food and the Italian atmosphere is amazing.

Nailed it!! I knew you were heading to Italy once the last chickadee flew the coop💕💕👍👍

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!

So exciting.

So pretty. We just got back from Alaska, but have always wanted to visit Italy.

Wow so cool. You guys must really being doing really good. To afford that. Have fun

Loving this for ya, also love how this ended

Italian coffee pots are the best for camping and caravanning well translated into RVing for US citizens.

Italy was one of my favorite vacations, enjoy.

Maybe someday we will get to Europe, thanks for letting us come along.

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.)

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.

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 😢

Lived south of Bari for 2.5 years in the late 70’s. So excited to watch the video on Bari. Alberobello and the Trulli houses.

Marc and Trish. You may also be interested in “Leave Everything and Wander”, Italian KZfaqrs who traveled from Alaska to the tip of South America , on a wing and a prayer, before the pandemic hit. They have property, recently remodeled, in the Italian Alps, an olive grove in Sicily, and have begun to renovate a 1,000 year-old house in Sicily, which they bought for one Euro. These are adventurous, very hard-working people who love to travel. Luca, Sara, and their little girl Luce are living the theme of enjoying a “second chance” at life since Luca, a young man, almost died after having a stroke while they were at their home in the Piedmont area of the Alps.
