5…4…3…2…1…Happy New Year!! The fireworks ignited, the champagne bubbled, Adam and Laura shouted with joy and gave each other a great big smooch, excited for the New Year to come. Little did they know that 2011 would be an epic year full of multiple lifetime memorable events. Just ten days into the New Year, the […]
Engagement Video in Puerto Vallarta
Engagement video from Puerto Vallarta at the Royal Decameron Hotel – 2007.
Hotel Antichi Cortili – Dossobuono, Verona, Italy
The best way to sum this place up is that if you need to get to the Verona airport early or even moderately early in the morning, you should stay here. We had a 6:30 am flight home, so we knew that we would have to take a taxi and that if we stayed in […]
Best Western Premier Galileo – Padova, Italy
The Best Western Premier is supposedly “near the train station”. It is walkable…but its 20-25 minute walk which is not too much fun with luggage. There is a bus that goes right by the hotel (the 18 and 12 bus both do) but we never were able to figure out the bus schedule in Padova […]
Borgio Dei Sensei Villa – Vernio, Tuscany, Italy
We stayed at Borgio Dei Sensei from June 18th – June 25th, 2011. The villa is in Vernio, Italy – about 20 minute train ride north of Prato. We had kind of a mixed week at the villa, so I’ll split this into two categories: 1) Things that were good The villa sits in a […]
Cinque Terre – Corniglia, Italy – Il Carugia di Corniglia
We arrived in Corniglia on the last possible train – which was at 1:30 am. This meant that the bus that takes you up the hill into town, which stops running at 8 pm, was unavailable. Fortunately, my brother Jon and his wife Carrie had already gotten there and checked in and were nice enough […]
Ferry – Barcelona, Spain to Livorno, Italy – Grimaldi Lines – Ikarus Palace
Instead of driving along the French Riviera to get from Barcelona to Italy (our original plan which turned out to be VERY expensive) we decided to take a ferry boat. For about 250 Euros, we got our own mini-cruise (not fancy, but our first experience like this), a few self-serve meals, our own cabin with […]
Hotel Transit – Barcelona, Spain
Hotel Transit is in transition (ha ha). It is undergoing a complete renovation. Our room was actually just fine for us, but it was small. It was newly renovated and was pretty nicely done. Anyone who is bigger than we are might have a hard time with it. The downside of this hotel was that […]
Calella – Barcelona, Spain – Hotal Best Western Les Palmeres
Getting to Calella should have been easier than we made it. From the airport, you can get on the R2 line to Sants, then switch to the R1 line towards Macanet-Massanes. Should be less than 10 Euros. We didn’t quite do it this way, so it took a bit longer and cost a bit more…but […]
2nd year Anniversary and 9 years together
Adam and I will be going out to dinner tonight to celebrate our 2nd year anniversary married. The crazy part is that we have been together for 9 years, that’s just about a third of our lives together, my little brother was only a year old when we started dating…he is now turning 11 the […]
