Bus AKA autobus services in Tuscany/Toscana can be confusing. First of all, there is no unified public transportation for the region of Toscana/Tuscany. There are 10 provinces that make up the region of Toscana/Tuscany and there are 10 separate and independent entities/companies/consortia that provide bus/tram service in their respective province. Then, there are companies which are national or regional or local that provide intercity bus services.

CAVEAT/WARNING: Also, before you leave on your overseas trip, please inform the issuer of your respective ATM, debit cards and/or credit cards that you may be using their respective card in a foreign country and which foreign countries. Please provide your travel departure and return dates and the countries to be visited. Failure to do so may result in the debit or credit card charge being REFUSED by the establishment where you are attempting to use your debit or credit card or at an ATM machine!

BTW, it helps to have multiple ATM, debit cards and/or credit cards with you. One night at one of the bancomat (read ATM) machines, my wife's USA issued ATM card got "eaten" by the bancomat. It took over three weeks before she had received a replacement card. The reason for the delay was that a USA issued replacement card could only be sent to our USA address of record and NOT to a foreign mailing address. This may not be the same for your respective ATM card or credit card provider but for my wife's that was the procedure in place. Fortunately for us, we were able to use my ATM card in the meantime.

You may wonder why I am writing Abruzzo. After 2 1/2 years in Toscana/Tuscany our lease is up on our rental farm house in 6 months, my wife (dual citizen) and I are planning to move to Giulianova (TE) or into a town somewhere in the region of Abruzzo or the Marche. We are looking for a 2 bedroom and ideally, a 2 bathroom, apartment with an assigned parking space. We have been and stayed in Fano (PU) and Giulianova and enjoy the area. My wife would like to go to the beach and possibly have a view of the water from our new apartment. So, if you know of a long term rental (we would even consider a short term one, 8 - 9 months) or someone with a rental apartment, starting in September/October, 2010, please leave a comment on my blog, Moving2Italy2, or my wife's blog, Friends and Family in Italy.

BTW, we are experienced hosts and have operated a small guest house in Italy.

My wife and I will be in Giulianova (TE) from the 14th until the 17th of March 2010. Please feel free to contact us while we are there.

That's it for Monday, 8 March 2010: lunedì, 8 marzo 2010

Ciao, Ben

From 22 December 2009 until 10 January 2010, my wife and I were in Roma, dog, cat and apartment sitting. While we were there, her cousin, Bonnie, and husband, Pete, from Ocean City, NJ came over for a short visit. I had either updated my existing blog entry for Rome or created new blog entries for their respective visit.

Their visit and time with us along with a grand farewell and very tasty seafood dinner have provided us with many fond and lasting memories of our time in Roma and with Bonnie and Pete.
