[TI] Touring Sicily with Emilio?

[Joan Petrulis]

Just read that interesting article on Sicily and am dreaming of selling off 
some assets and taking the whole family of 12 to visit for our 50th 
anniversary.

That trip we took as a group was great. It was the best trip of my life! I 
remember Emilio Terrazzino - Does anyone know if he is still doing the 
touring thing?

Does anyone have any ideas on whom to deal with as far as house or villa 
rentals. Obviously we would need lots of space for 12 people - only one 
child among the group.

Advice from all quarters would be appreciated.
