Well, the big move from Italy to America happened. We packed up and moved back to San Diego from Naples and are now getting our new (temporary) home set up with just one more shipping delivery yet to arrive. Here's the horrible truth of how it played out: December 27, 2019 had me sick, to … Continue reading Back In America
October was a very strange month for me. Starting with fighting a bad cold which had me pretty laid up for about two weeks then just as I was getting back on my feet we decided to go to a movie on the Navy base and the next morning I had pink eye. Oh and … Continue reading Out of Sorts
We haven't been on a tour through the base services in quite a while so when we saw a tour for a honey farm and wine tasting in the Avellino Province, where it's nice and cool, we jumped on it and are so glad we did. The honey farm was really a chestnut tree farm … Continue reading A Lovely Sunday
Had a friend come through Rome so I went up to play for a couple of days. It's always fun to see sites through someone's eyes for the first time. She had been to Rome before but had not gone to the Pantheon yet so we did that, it's still my favorite site in Rome. … Continue reading Rome Again
What a special time of year this is for us. A couple of weeks ago marked the anniversary of the day we met in 2003. Yesterday, the anniversary of our wedding 2012.

The husband and I both have been to London but we didn't go together so this weekend was our chance to experience London together. Our plan was to see a few sites in between eating and drinking. I was in London in June 2017 and just realized I didn't blog the trip so I am … Continue reading A London Weekend
When we knew we were heading to Europe for three years we started a sort of wish list of places we wanted to go. Fairly high on the list for me was Norway. Getting there was a full day of flights because I went above the Arctic Circle to Tromsø. Why Norway? I have a … Continue reading A Quick Nordic Journey
A disclosure and apology, I did this quick trip without a thought in mind of blogging it really, I didn't think it would be very noteworthy and we were there to relax so we did not take a lot of photos. With 4th of July being in the middle of the week we only had … Continue reading Paestum Beach
