Top 5 Things to bring to Italy for Friends/Family

Ziplock bags…… Although I hear they may exist somewhere in Italy, I have yet to find them.   All I find is paper thin bags with a tie. I want to zip lock it fresh for the freezer and storage. I NEED THEM!

Finally, the winter flu can be rough in Italy as I had it 4 times last year so NYQUIL is the remedy I miss. I found something similar, but not as effective and also in a small bottle at least double the price. I need that “nighttime, sniffling, sneezing, aching, coughing, stuffy-head, fever, so you can rest medicine.”

I have definitely tried to buy what is available in Italy as I live in Florence now, but sometimes, there is no substitution.

Italy is a dream that keeps returning for the rest of your life
