As I promised myself, I finally took a few days to relax a bit after all the travel I've been doing and it was absolutely lovely. Of course... this girl can't stay in one place too long, which is why I spent Saturday night researching and making plans for a very exciting destination in June...
Italy!! Exactly one month from today my entire family (mom, dad and sis) will be jetting off for a few weeks in the saturated sunshine of Sicily. I'm already dreaming of the wardrobe I'll be packing and the fabulous hotels we'll be lounging in...
Not to mention time spent on salty beaches as we make our way up to the Amalfi Coast! It's been years since I made the time to hop across the globe for a real getaway, and I cannot wait. We'll also be stopping through Calabria to visit the small town my father was born in, and - fingers crossed - spending one indulgent night in Capri just me and my sis.
Anyone have suggestions for our little escape? I'd love to hear them!

I am so jealous! I have not been back to Italy since I studied abroad there and I have been trying to figure out how to do it somehow!
ReplyDeleteCapri is a wonderful place! I love the seafood lunch at La Fontelina (a beach club at the end of the Via Tragara), the chairlift to the top of Monte Solaro, Cinque Terre... so many beautiful spots there. Have a great time!

Though I never been to Sicily, to me the Amalfi Coast is the most beautiful place on earth. Absolutely the most beautiful. I love Sorrento. If your father is from Italy (my grandfather was) you will be completely at home where ever you are. Capri is lush, even though a bit label-conscious. Just the beautiful vistas, the wonderful people will make this a family holiday you will never forget. Send us lots of pics, Cassandra. xx's
ReplyDeleteHow fabulous! You must check out the post I just did on Capri here:

I spent my honeymoon in Italy this past September...Palazzo Sasso in RAVELLO along the Almalfi Coast is not to be missed!! ENJOY!
ReplyDeleteAhh! So jealous! I lived in Ortigia, Sicily for a few months. It was so beautiful! Are you going to make it to the Aeolian Islands? They are GORGEOUS this time of year! The Amalfi coast is to die for too! Make sure you try the homemade limoncello. Email me if you need any travel tips:) xoxo
