Whenever I travel I try to emerse myself in everything of that culture, the food, the customs, even the language if I can, usually the common phrases you can pick up quick. I always try to learn something new when I travel...probably one of the things I've learned from this trip in New Years, ...aside from the fact that you can not hold a diet in Italy :) and that for some reason, it really doesn't feel like New Years unless Im at home (maybe it was the jetlag??) ...is that it's better to live simple but it is also more difficult. What I mean is I guess it takes patience and practice to live simply and humbly, with nothing more than what you need, no excesses. This is what I found in this little town ... read more

Today we stopped by an Autoexpress (the equivallent to a 7/11 in the US) and got some snacks and stuff, Millie got some chocolate's called "Bocci" which are popular with the kids, because each chocolate has a little message on the wrapping, think of a chocolate fortune cookie, anyways my message was very appropriate for being in the town of Romeo and Juliete... Chi vuol farsi amore amabile deve diventare which translates to "Loved shall be who loveable becomes" Just another thing I loooove about travelling trying the local food, snacks, drinks, ect. I refuseee to travel a bunch of miles just to have McD's!!!! Best Food in Italy... *Margheritta Pizza, its classic Italy *Best place to get Limoncello - Capri *Fragolino Bianco one of the best wine's, literally translates to white strawberry wine, I cant ... read more

Im so glad we didnt really use this, we would just crash here at night, usually around 3AM n' get up as early as we could. All in all, it was a snug little place, it served its purpose, it fit all our stuff, had an amazing view (joking) but it wasnt too bad, n' for what we paid for this place, it really was heaven =) b.c of its location on the upper west side of Manhattan. Only thing, was the shared bathroom, at night you'd have to fog up the shower, to use the fog as a shower curtain, b.c. there was no curtain available. ... read more

I think part of what made me fall in love w. NY was, the sleepless nights when we were out wandering, and walking the town. While we were down there we walked all over Manhattan. At first we tried to find the spots were "Sex and the City" had been filmed, bc. my friend n' I are fans, but as we would be looking for one thing, another popped up and another. I think its what adds to the excitement of the city. We would get lost trying to find one thing, but would end up finding something else. It was my friends 3rd time going, n' he mentioined every time he's there, it doesnt get old. I guess every trip to NY is a redsicovery of it. While we were there we walked along the ... read more
