Can I bring DVD-Rs to Italy?
I was just packing some "personal use copies" of DVDs to take with us to Italy. Will I get arrested at the airport and be flown to a turkish prison? Cause I ain't down with that. I don't want to bring originals because I don't want to lose them. Anyone have any experience with this?

Who is to say what the contents of the DVD-r is, for all they know it's pictures and home videos.

they won't check if your media is pirated or copied. they are only concerned with bombs, guns, and drugs. I've flown across country on a regular basis with my pistols in my check bag. I've also flown international (EU) with hundreds of copied movies and music albums. As long as you aren't a threat they don't particularly care.

Good points. No guns this time, though, the Italians are pretty particular about them. And with some 19 year old with a mounted machine gun sandbagged in on top of the ticket counter in Rome, I really don't like to take chances. And that was right before 9/11.

No one in her family speaks english, I can only partially understand Italian, I've got my Italian mother in law (pure stereotype) and my 5 and 6 year old. the town is scenic, but there is nothing there and I like to do stuff. But your still right, I really should have a better attitude about this. At least the walls of the house are thick and my wife will be in a very good mood.

Yes, the women are generally very hot, except it will be winter, which takes most of the fun out of it. But my wife's cousin is really cute and will be there for most of the time. The women are almost all trim, which is a nice contrast from northern michigan, where the thin ones are <20 or constantly working out while their poor husband gets stuck with the kids. (Its worth it.) Last time I was on a beach in Calabria (right across from Sicily), some (legal) girl walked right past me topless. Practically changed my life. For some reason, Italian women seem to like American men, because I had women check me out there who wouldn't dream of giving me a glance here. Although the north of the country is full of tourists wanting to get wild, just make sure to wash the hippie ones first. |

I also need to chill about getting everything ready for when we leave. Anyone know how to fix a fuel oil furnace that keeps shutting off even though you have replaced all of the main parts? Not a big deal because we pretty much only use space heaters and a wood stove, we just need it to keep the house from freezing. Serenity now. |
Some basic advice about sicily;
Trains are hot and seriously slow, not fun. Festival days in the citys generally suck, very religious oriented, nothing is open, women are dressed modestly. Carnival days/Market days (they rotate) in the small towns are a little seedy but lots of single women dressed for success. Also, lots of beer and no drinking age but nobody is drunk, hmmm. Restaurants in the country are crazy. Don't eat for a day before you go, because they will seriously get offended. If anyone ever needs information about a hotel or whatever, my wife can call from here (for free) and find out. Just let me know. Most in the south don't speak english but service is a million times better. |
i took a semester abroad and was living in florence for 3 months it was amazing you and you family are very lucky to do what your doing. Free drinks on BOTH plane rides.. I was a drunk 19 year old when i landed in San Francisco :)

Are you sure the thermostats are grouding out correctly? Older mercury filled switches can become corroded eventualy as well as some of the cheaper types i would wire the activation to a toggle switch to rule the thermo out as a fault source. From there i would gues you trace down the wire. Same as any other electrical device that is mechanically sound as yours should be. :D
