Back to the Villa with a Pizza Making class

Since we had hiked up from Amalfi to Ravello we figured the hike down could only be half as hard! It was actually way easier and faster to go downhill, with many stops to look out and take in the views. Knowing we didn't want another wild bus adventure we booked a speed ferry from Amalfi to Sorrento! I highly recommend this option as it was a beautiful view and efficient! 




Back in Amalfi 

A quiet breakfast before returning to the Villa

We walked up (yes dozens more stairs) to downtown Sorrento from the port, and grabbed a pizza while waiting fory mom, aunts, & cousins to finish shopping and we shared a taxi home. 


The evening brought us another fun family experience of pizza making in a family farm! Donnell and Magda add research this experience that was kid friendly! There was a playground plenty of farm animals to walk around and see and a hilariously sarcastic family that owned the property and hosted the pizza making night! There are two older daughters who were 15 and 11 were witty and hilarious as they walked us through how to make a pizza, and I give so much credit to their mom who was making all the pizzas for us as she had just had their third baby seven weeks ago!! 











On a fun note, my cousin Gaby got engaged to Donnell! They went away to Greece for a few days and he popped the question! There's been together since High school! Yay! More weddings!! 
bling bling look at that ring!! 

It was the last night for a few family members, as they're 2 week adventure was concluding 🥹 We all agree it's been a trip of a lifetime! Feeling fulfilled in so many ways!

Great Barrier Reef

Today we spent the whole day on the Reef and it was soo amazing! We snorkled in two places and saw tons of fish. Angel and Butterfly were the two most common types! We did not see any sharks or sea snakes so I was happy. On the way out to the reef it took 90 minutes and and bunch of us sat on the bow of the boat and got toally soaked. I think the skipper was trying to throw us over! We got a really cool picture of us underwater also! I even got to wear this awesome wet suit! haha not really but it was fun and kept me warm. It was a bit cloudy but still very very fun!

Well, hello long lost travel buddy! Dusting off the old blog as we gear up for a month long adventure in Italy! The idea to travel was a part of my maternal grandparents plan once they passed, but none of us knew about it, which makes this plan extra special! They told my mom and her 3 siblings that a trip to Italy is what they wanted for us with any leftover money. They passed away 2 years ago, so this idea has been in the making for several years!  This trip carries extra meaning for us as my grandparents immigrated to the US in the late 60s. My grandma had to come over only with my mom, and secure work to prove her stability before my grandfather and uncles could follow. As we've gotten older my mom has shared more on her experience, and I have such respect and admiration for how strong my grandmother was - both in mind and physical grit to prove herself as an immigrant to be able to apply for a greencard. So fast forward to today, and there are 24 adults and 8 children packed a

Day 1 - Famiglia!

Waking up in Amalfi is quite glorious!  23 of us arrived yesterday on 7 flights with only minor travel delays! Our Villa hosts made us a delicious dinner and to no surprise with this family it turned into karaoke 🎤 as everyone tried to get a post travel day second wind. It's important to stay up as late as possible to adjust to the time change, they say 😉 This morning we woke up to cappuccinos and breakfast from our hosts to start day one of lounging. Today, was a very comfortable 80 degree day of pool, ping pong, catching up, and enjoying the views.  Zio Tony is making his famous pasta and meat sauce for dinner this evening 😋🍽️!  I think this view is what "sold" my mom on this house: Pool and hot tub: Our relaxing view of Amalfi: Dinner! Arrivederci!!
