The Conca Dei Marini area lies about halfway between Amalfi and Positano, offering more of a suburb type feel versus being in the middle of it all in one of the bigger towns. The houses and villas sit high above the sea meaning you can wake up to the most spectacular sunsets. But it alsoRead more

October 16, 2015October 16, 2015 - Lauren Jamison 2 Comments

I think I took this exact picture multiple times every single day during our stay, but I swear each time something new revealed itself.

When we last left off, we were exploring downtown Amalfi in search of the perfect dinner spot. Along the way we met quite a few nice characters. And discovered lemons the size of our heads. Literally. Took a break by the sea to dip our toes in the water.   And to enjoy some “fresh”Read more

I’m going to have to just admit up front that I did not do the best job documenting this amazing experience through photos.

From the time we filled out our first “dream sheet” of assignment locations for the Air Force, Aviano, Italy has been my #1 choice. It didn’t matter if our chances were dismal at best, or that neither of us speak a lick of Italian. All I knew was that being stationed in one of myRead more
