Re: [LAD] [LAU] Travel from Milan Malpensa to Parma on wednesday evening

Ah, I did not know that you paid for the hotel in Parma too, so in
that case, it makes more sense what you said and I think with the GPS
you will be fine, mostly you will travel on the highway so it will not
be a hard and long journey. probably around 2h. and if you drive
during the evening
the roads should not be very trafficked.
good luck and don't forget to enjoy the excellent food, I'm sure that
Fons meanwhile became a gourmet in terms of italian food so he will
certainly
bring you LADers to the right places :) .. even if usually in italy
it's hard to find a place where food is really bad , but never say
never :)

cheers,
Benno
