I tend to plan our trips far in advance. For one thing, I like to take advantage of early booking fees when I can and I also just like having things done and set. It’s also nice to know what you have to look forward to for the rest of the year. We’ve either already… Continue reading Trips Planned for 2017 and Beyond
I really enjoy Santa Fe, NM. It’s one the oldest cities in the U.S (founded as a Spanish colony in 1610), has the United States’ oldest church and the oldest house. Santa Fe is nestled in the Sangre de Christo mountains and sits at an elevation of 7,200 feet, which means you may be short… Continue reading Santa Fe, NM
Last year we spent four days in the Willamette Valley region of Oregon, which is best known as being the largest wine producing area in Oregon. Willamette (which rhymes with “Dammit”) is about an 1.5 hours south of Portland via car. The valley runs north to south so we stayed in the northern section of… Continue reading Willamette Valley Oregon – Labor Day 2015
I had read that Capri was very touristy and that most people just come for a day trip so I was worried that spending two full days and nights there would be too much. I was so wrong – I could have stayed for a week on Capri and been happy. It was actually my… Continue reading Capri Day Two
We took the mid-morning ferry from Positano to Capri. A few notes about the ferries – the ferry between Positano and Capri does not run year-round. It starts running in early April and ends around late October or early November. If you visit in off-season, you will have to take a taxi to Sorrento and… Continue reading A Day in Capri
I usually make lots of dinner reservations for vacations but this trip I decided that we would play most of it by ear and be spontaneous with a few exceptions. The main exception being our lunch in Positano on our second day there, which just happened to be my birthday. Given that I plan all… Continue reading An Amazing Birthday Lunch at La Sponda Restaurant at Hotel Sirenuse
We were up early to catch our 10am train to Naples. Fortunately, there is a taxi stand right next to the Campo de Fiori which made it super easy to get a ride to the train station but I was surprised how long it took due to traffic. Give yourself plenty of time! Still, we… Continue reading Italy Continues – Amalfi Coast and Positano
On our last day in Rome, we planned a tour of the Vatican with a private guide. We used Paola Barbanera and were so pleased that we picked her! It was just me, Steve and Paola and the tour lasted about 3.5 hours and was worth every penny (I think we paid around $350 for the… Continue reading Rome – Day 3
Our next morning, we slept in until 9ish thanks to our jet lag but were out the door to go sightseeing by 10:30am. We headed to the Coliseum and the Roman Forum. However, the Rome marathon was in full swing and it was directly between us and the Coliseum so we braved the crowds. We… Continue reading Three Days in Rome – Day 2
In April 2016 we spent a week in Italy and our first stop was Rome. We arrived via a direct flight from Chicago. We cashed in many, many miles for 2 roundtrip business class tickets so we were able to catch a little shut eye on the long flight over. We went straight from the… Continue reading Three Days in Rome – Day 1
