**Warning – there are some pictures that may be disturbing to some people.** We couldn’t go to the Amalfi Coast and not see Pompeii.  I believe it’s one of those things that you should see in person at some point in your life, if possible, to truly be able to appreciate it.  It’s huge city … More Pompeii & Herculaneum

During our stay in the Amalfi Coast, I decided to use one company to do all of our tours, just to keep things simple.  The company was Tours of Amalfi Coast, and they were very easy to work with. They picked us up in our hotel lobby, except for the Capri tour – where we … More Positano, Amalfi, and Ravello

We woke up early on Saturday to meet our guide who was taking us on a tour of Capri.  After meeting up with her, we walked down to the marina where we were to catch they hydrofoil ferry that would take us to the island.  The boat ride on a hydrofoil is about 30 minutes … More The Isle of Capri

More than a year ago, we (I) decided to do a guided tour of Italy.  Italy has been #1 on my bucket list for as long as I can remember.  And how could I live in Europe for 2 years and NOT go to Italy?!  But since I plan all of our trips – this … More Amalfi Coast – The Beginning of Some Disney Magic in Sorrento

Here are some comparison pics of our first couple of days in Kitzbuehel, and when we left a few days later. On the train to and from… View out the front of the hotel… View out the back of the hotel… The creek near the train station… The front circle drive of the hotel.  You can … More Beginning and End Comparison

So it started snowing, and didn’t stop for 2 days!  It turned everything into a winter wonderland and it was just BEAUTIFUL!  Actually, on this day, we didn’t even leave the hotel except to eat dinner.  We lazed about, read, swam, and napped.  It was an awesome day. Of course, making a snowman was in … More Kitzbuehel, Austria – Part 3

We woke to some gorgeous sunrises while we were here! And our second morning there, we woke up to clear skies and a little bit of snow on the ground.  The girls were super excited to play in it. We wanted to sign the girls up for some ski lessons, so we got ready and headed … More Kitzbuehel, Austria – Part 2

MyMan had one request regarding our travel plans as long as we lived in Europe…to go skiing in the Alps at some point.  So this past January – his wish was granted! I had to figure out where we should go…Because around here, people go skiing in France, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, and Austria.  I didn’t have … More Skiing in Kizbuehel, Austria – Part 1

The girls were glad to see MyMan, and see this cool city built on the water!  They thought the water taxis were awesome. I’ve said before that we tend to stay in apartments when we travel because it tends to be cheaper and more spacious.  This time was no different.  I found a cute apartment … More A Quick Trip to Venice Part I

  I can honestly say I don’t think I’ve taken as many pictures as I did in our 2 days in Venice!  I’m not sure why.  From the outside looking in – all of the pictures could pretty much look the same: old buildings, water, and boats.  But Venice has such a cool vibe to … More A Quick Trip to Venice Part II
