Places mentioned in this guide #
- Stromboli - an island rising from nowhere, way out in the ocean, near Italy
- Stromboli - also the volcano which covers 80% of that island's surface, and erupts noisily twice a day
- Italy - a backdrop for awesomeness
- The National Museo di Archaeoliggia - More ancient imperial stuff than you can imagine
- Pompeii - an hour outside of Naples. Half of it has never been excavated. You can walk between the hundred houses. There's graffiti, ancient toilets, a tiny arena for the AAA ball club / gladiators
- Herculaneum - in case Pompeii isn't enough
- Italiano - like Spanish but easier
- Ferry boat - leaves Naples at dinner time, doesn't drop you off until 5 am, so you sleep in a little bunk room.
- Napoli (Naples) - Great town: has a soccer team, has stone urinals on the street. Home of all Neopolitan things, i.e. the Margarita pizza, banana gelato
- Optional: Tunisia, where Luke Skywalker lived. Reached from the same ferry in Naples that goes to Stromboli
Cost to fly Chicago to Napoli #
$700USD round trip
Danger level of the volcano #
Manageable. You can sort of see where most of the rocks come down during the eruptions.
Time up and down: 9am to 4pm. Very civilized; no early rising required.
