Checking was very easy with Angelo, ..well he was a huge help from start to finish!! AMERICAN'S don't really need or want a car!! Do a youtube search "driving in Palermo" ..even you city slickers that think you've seen it all, don't rent a car. There are so many things you can walk to keep you busy for weeks and Angelo gives plenty of helpful tips. One easy tip, go out the front door turn right go to the small square market veer off to the left side and go up the sidewalk steps. There can turn right an down that street is all kinds of places to shop, eat, horse carriage rides, huge beautiful churches. Or turn left and got more of same, it's just beautiful. THANK YOU again Angela for all your help!!! ~joel
