So, during our first dinner here we were seated next an english couple, who looked a bit overdressed in their silk clothing. The next night at dinner we were seated next to them again at a different restaurant. What a coincidence, so imagine our surprise when last night they showed up once again. It was […]

So last night, as usual, we picked a dinner restaurant at random. Although maybe it wasn’t at random because we noticed that it was the only place in Italy that had chicken on the menu which is something that debbie had apparently been craving, maybe just to shut up my statements that she doesn’t have […]

So, as Matt has said, we made it to Amalfi.  I must admit, the trek here was a little hair raising at times, but definitely worth it. We started taking a train from Naples to Sorrento, where Matt befriended four kids from Australia, but now living in Wales I think, who were planning on camping […]

We arrived in Amalfi yesterday after a long bus and train ride – although nothing compared to the one from Venice – to find a very small and very touristy little city. It does have a lot of charm so I guess i will be able to forgive it. Our new hotel is very nice […]

Dear Diane, Matthew and Brian, Well, here I sit in the Detroit airport waiting for my connecting flight to Evansville. Somehow I made it all the way here – on my own – which is an achievement, given how long ago I gave up all my travel responsibilites. So much easier to simply take directions […]

Goose’s graduation party except all the photos are of the volleyball game in the John McSweeney’s front yard. His mom has more. I hope she posts them. **************** A video for Matt and Debbie Best Wishes Crystal clear quicktime format (3.5MB). Crappy, pixelated, frustrating, head-exploding youtube version. youtube version.

And it did end in a tie, if you don’t know what im talking about you are clearly not a soccer fan. However, you may not be, but everyone here is. Last night was the America-Italy game, and we became a bit nervous as the Americans spent most of the time beating up on the […]

So we have finally arrived in Naples after a 10 hour train ride, which we thought was supposed to be around 7 or 8 hours.  We were in a couch car which means six people in a little room and not very much space to sleep.  However, me and Matt found out that if we […]

Well, believe it or not but our new hostel in Naples is not at all a hostel. In fact it is a three star hotel with a breakfast room and a bar and everything. Our room is awesome and clean and more then we could have asked for considering we are paying sixty a night […]
