    Hi Ali.

    I am going to spend 4 days in Cyprus in the fall and stumbled on your packing tips while researching. I read online that Cyprus has the second busiest airport in Europe. Is it really that busy? Do you remember how long getting through Customs took?

      Hi Rachel, there’s no way Cyprus has the 2nd busiest airport in Europe. It’s a small airport, and tons of other ones around the continent (London has 2 airports, Munich, Frankfurt, Madrid, Barcelona, Paris has 2, Rome, Zurich, Amsterdam, and on and on…..) are all way busier than the one in Cyprus. Wikipedia says it was 69th last year. It took a few minutes to get through passport control, no worries.

    I was in Rome for nine days and I loved it! I went to the Vatican Gardens, St Peters Basilica and Sistine Chapel and I feel I have to go for a repeat visit to these places. I went to the Musei Capitolini, but I didn’t see all of it because I was so tired from walking all morning, so I have to go again to see more. I’ve tried food at different restaurants, the food is amazing, I was going to the bar for my morning croissant and cappuccino and espressos throughout the day. I’ll definitely be back in Rome.

      Anne, I’m so glad you enjoyed Rome! It’s an amazing city. And there’s just soooo much to see! I’ve been there 3 times and still haven’t made it to a few major landmarks. Hopefully I’ll remedy that when I’m there in a couple weeks. I hope you enjoyed the other parts of Italy you visited too!
