If you’ve been following along, we intrepid travelers faced numerous obstacles in our path along the way to our Amalfi Coast home-away-from-home, but we didn’t let any of them deter us in our quest. After a long bus ride and steep climb up their driveway, we arrived just before sunset, unpacked our things in ourContinueContinue reading “The Day We Didn’t Get Lost – Finale”

The Day We Didn’t Get Lost (Part Three)
What wise, punctual, careful travelers were we. We were punctual – oh, so punctual. We abandoned our (gorgeous) hike mid-afternoon, resisting the urge to soak in every last moment of time wandering and taking photos. This would certainly give us plenty of time to check into our room before dusk and get to know theContinueContinue reading “The Day We Didn’t Get Lost (Part Three)”
The Day We Didn’t Get Lost (Part Two)
It doesn’t happen very often — I’d go so far as to say I can count the number of times on one hand — but every once in a blue moon, my Women’s Walkabout companion and I have a day where we actually move in a straight line to get where we’re going. The taleContinueContinue reading “The Day We Didn’t Get Lost (Part Two)”
The Day We Didn’t Get Lost (Part One)
Most of my Women’s Walkabout adventures are some derivative of “wandered in the wrong direction, madness ensued, eventually stumbled on the right path”. But this day? As the title says, this was the day. That one, single day. The day we somehow knew how to get to where we wanted to go, every step ofContinueContinue reading “The Day We Didn’t Get Lost (Part One)”
Next Stop: Tales from the Amalfi Coast
View from first Sorrento stroll – photo provided by author New month, same ole nostalgia. Stay tuned for photos and memoires of my trip to the Amalfi Coast in Italy, starting with Sorrento, journeying on to Marciano, another stop in Sorrento, a redux of my favorite moments in Positano (because you can never have tooContinueContinue reading “Next Stop: Tales from the Amalfi Coast”
Welcoming Committee (Rome, Italy)
That tail. Those eyes. That wiggle! It was our second day in Rome. We’d slept roughly the night before, but forced ourselves to get some sunlight and exercise (the cornerstone of our Anti-Jet-Lag Initiative). Cappuccinos consumed, we put on our comfy shoes, tightened the belts on our fanny packs, and headed out for adventure. WeContinueContinue reading “Welcoming Committee (Rome, Italy)”
Weird Sites in Rome, Take Six
Never fear – no androids here! This was early on in our trip, and had the effect of making me skeptical of any restaurant that didn’t make it clear that human beings were involved in the making of our food. I would have gone with touting their killer cappuccinos, personally (and they were absolutely divine).ContinueContinue reading “Weird Sites in Rome, Take Six”
Rashomon Series: My Sister and Me in Tanque Verde (AZ)
It’s that time again – time for “something a little different”! Inspired by one of my favorite stories, Rashomon, I solicit the thoughts and opinions of others who have tread the same path as me, but (inevitably) they bring a different perspective. End result: you get twice the story. This was a fun one -ContinueContinue reading “Rashomon Series: My Sister and Me in Tanque Verde (AZ)”
And Then There Were Cats (Rome, Italy)
View across the cat sanctuary, just down the road for our temporary abode – photo provided by author Welcome to our view pretty much every day we were in Rome. After my regular morning quest for cappuccinos, I’d come back to the apartment to fetch my traveling companion, and we’d head out. A mere fiveContinueContinue reading “And Then There Were Cats (Rome, Italy)”
Home Temporary Home (Rome, Italy)
Homebase – photo provided by author Pro tip for wanderers: Take advantage of places where your friends are living. Often they will not only give you some insider information about places to visit, but also offer to hook you up with inexpensive (if not completely free) lodging for a few nights. Advanced pro tip: IfContinueContinue reading “Home Temporary Home (Rome, Italy)”
