Loungey beach day in Sicily
We spent one relaxing lounge day as beached whales out by our resorts pool and beach. The beach there is rocky, compared to our powdery white sand on the gulf coast of Florida. Though it’s not much for walking, the view can’t be beat. And it’s always fun watching my little water baby in […]
Taormina
Our first full day in Taormina we just walked around a bit, and ate. This is my favorite way to tour. (;
italians love babies
{not italy, but i haven’t gotten to those photos yet} Italians LOVE babies. My baby sister was just a wee one when we lived in Italy, and I vaguely remember that too. Her blonde fuzzy head causing them fits of hysterical adoration. And that is what it is. hysterical adoration. the women lose it. most […]
I need your help: Lugano vs. Lake Como
My friend, The World’s Best Photographer will be traveling throughout Italy and Switzerland, and posed the question: Lugano or Lake Como? Lugano was the first trip we took on Easter weekend in 2010. Lake Como was our last trip we took in 2011. Very different states of mind. When I was little we […]

What I wore: Tuscany
Tuscany. I’d stay weeks/months/years if I could. This has been one of my favorite trips ever. It had all the perfect vacation needs – the best food, wine, and friends. Even the temperature was right where I like it. As I sift through hundreds of photos, I figured this could take a […]

Milano part 1
Milano holds a special place in my heart since I spent first grade as a milanese. My father was the first major leaguer to play baseball overseas in Europe. I never thought about it before but he is quite the pioneer. I remember two italians flying all the way from Italy just to get my […]
Positano – straight out of my dreams part 2
just a few more pictures… i couldn’t help myself! a bougainvillea ceiling! One of the best things about Positano is how few tourists are there compared to Capri. It is an oasis of rest and relaxation. please visit!

Venice in photos
Arriving to venice will take its own blogpost … in the future, when I can physically wrap my brain around how crazy it was. Let’s just say that today it is a hilarious story – yesterday it was a little harder to find the humor in all the mishaps. But we’re here and it is […]

VATICAN Wedding
