So I have tickets to visit Italy for 4 weeks this June, gonna see mom, dad and my sis. Unfortunately the trip I had planned for Sicily might not happen. My wife keeps muttering "I ain't gonna get thrown into no volcano" I keep telling her she is using a double negative but seems unconvinced....

My Etna is almost always throwing lava.  I wouldn't cancel a trip to Sicily, ever!  My father grew up within a few miles of the crater, and I've visited several times.  Unless your destination is very close to the crater, I wouldn't worry.  And if it is, won't your parents and family need your help?

I was kidding of course, My family is on Ischia an island in the Bay of Naples we have 3 volcanos of our own there. Usually when visiting we will take a week in the middle and travel to another part of Italy for the experience. This year we considered Sicily but opted for the Italian Alps, Tuscany and a return to Rome. We swore we are going to take the night train to Palermo next year.

The running gag is I Love Volcanos and my wife always accuses me of wanting to throw her into one. 29 years married, a dozen of so active volcanoes visited together and I still don't know what she could mean!
