Thanks for visiting!
February 23, 2019I awoke at 3 something to the sound of thunder. It sounded like the rain had found us on our last day. I fell back asleep for a couple of more hours, but we were soon up to start getting ready for our final hours in Sicily. We left the…
February 23, 2019So in the last blog I left off wondering how we would see Mt. Etna. Well as soon as we got up we sent a message to the tour company that our host had recommended through their contact form on the website to see if we could do the 2:30…- February 22, 2019Although I set an alarm for 7:30, I don't think it ever went off, but I woke up with out it at 7:40 anyway. There was some construction going on outside and the pounding woke me up. We got ready and packed our stuff and was out the door by…
- February 20, 2019It was nice not to set an alarm and take our time this morning. Without the alarm we woke about 7:45. This was the first night's sleep that I had since we've been here where I didn't wake up coughing in the middle of the night. I think I may…
- February 20, 2019We had a good night's sleep and was happy to find that our laundry (mostly socks and underwear) was almost completely dry. Not bad for not having an electric dryer and for hanging it all over the kitchen where a pellet stove blew warm air. We had oranges and leftover…
- February 18, 2019We set the alarm and were up about 7:00a.m. We enjoyed our last breakfast at the hotel and were soon on our way to pick up the rental car. I went about 400 feet in the opposite direction to grab a cache and then back tracked to Budget Rent-A-Car. I…
- February 17, 2019We slept better then the previous night, but I was still up about three times with little coughing fits. At least I didn't wake up completely tired. We began the day by walking towards the Catacombe dei Cappuccini. We found it to be another absolutely gorgeous spring like day with…
- February 16, 2019Unfortunately Tom and I didn't sleep as well as we thought we would. I don't think the mattress was the problem, but this nagging cough I came to Italy with may of had something to do with it (thanks Leah - lol). So with that being said I didn't find…
- February 15, 20193:30a.m. came quick and we were soon out the door to catch the shuttle bus back to the airport. We boarded the bus and Tom watched a free show out the window. A local drunk was stumbling and talking to the bus operator and driver and seemingly looking to pick…
February 15, 2019A new adventure is upon us! Our niece Alissa, is spending her Junior year of high school in Sicily as a foreign exchange student, and we told her that we would come and have dinner with her. Of course for us, dinner means a 10 day vacation to explore and…- February 2, 2018I am happy to report that we had a very uneventful travel day home. It was a rainy day, so it made it a little easier to leave. Check-in was a breeze with practically nobody in line. Laurie asked the agent if the plane was full and they said it…
February 1, 2018Our last full day in Cabo . . . sigh. Normally on the last day of a vacation we like to just sit and relax and grab those last few rays of warm sunshine before heading back to the cold, but this trip we book a whale shark excursion for…
