Waiting for your news when you will see the night life in montecatinivacation? Not a ton of need to stay in any one place more than 3 or 4 days.
and depending on the goals, 1 day might be enough. -

@matteo-nunziati A lot of American-esk vacations are hit all of the tourist traps and move on. See it, take a picture and onto the next location.

Scott has done this sort of thing a number of times before.

Exactly... The few times I've been, I spend 3 days in a city, with the exception being when i was at a convention in a city that was 3 days long.. I was there for 5 days so I could see the city away from the convention, but then it was right back on the road to the next city.

We are actually moving REALLY slowly compared to normal backpackers. We took ten days for a two day location because the niece wanted to just chill on the beach.

British, too.
Unless, in either case, it is to sit on a beach.

Yeah, this is nothing at all compared to my GT1 trip of 2012 with little kids, 50% more time and like 300% more places seen.

Yeah, it's a horrible way to travel because all you ever see are tourist things and you never experience a place. No way to learn the culture, get to know what a place is like. I normally try to spend weeks or months in a small village, let alone a city. But with the nieces, they just want to be tourists and eat American food. They are mostly here to see sites and check off items on a list, not to "experience" the place so much.

i'm calling it the "turkey sandwich" tour of Europe. Every other meal is a standard turkey sandwich and fries like they'd make at home.

If you want beaches, I know a particular island that has plenty

That's hilarious! I was going to ask if they are just trying to eat healthy, until I saw the fries thing...
