Y'all this place is really nice. Hiked up some hills to Lugano Switzerland and made our way back to como by boat. Never would have come to this part of Italy without someone bringing me here. This is a must see place in Italy.

Agreed Steely, enjoy your time there brother!
I did six weeks in Vicenza about 150 +/- miles east of you many moons ago. Traveled all around the base of the mountains in northern Italy.
Absolutely beautiful area.
Find a wife!

Vicenza is where I am at for the time being. Couple italian officers brought a couple of the us guys up here. I think from here we are going south for bars and dancing which is too far out of my comfort zone. I just want to sit and stare at the water and relax. The view is stunning.

Cinque Terre in Italy is my favourite place in the whole world.

Also highly recommend the Amalfi coast in the south.

Pretty, but boring. Although I've had one of the palio flags on my walls for years.

Also, you don't get cred for using the Italian names.

I know Florence, that is down by Darby. I meant cinque terre, and don't use Italian words! Second thought it is ok as I have Italian help here.

I was stationed at Darby. Used to spend every off duty weekend in Firenze. It's the best city in Europe. Anyone who thinks otherwise is probably dum

Ash u were at Darby? Munitions, medical or arty? It is a sub camp of vincenza now.

Well it has been decided and this is either going to turn out really bad or even worse. We are on the way to Milan to a place called Alcatraz to meet this majors wife, her widowed sister and some others. If there is a god in this world please let these women be under 200 lbs!

I was signal. I was part of the 509th Signal Battalion, 167th Signal Company, forward platoon. Our platoon was the only one from the company stationed in Darby. The rest of the platoon was in Vicenza.

I am pretty sure the 509th was downsized and eliminated sometime in the late 90s after I got out. Also, not sure how it is now but there was no medical unit stationed there at the time, just us, an MP company, and a bunch of USAF peeps who were there to guard the ammo dump. The whole base was basically an MWR site.
