A Spiritual Experience in the Lost City of Pompeii
Pompeii Archaeological Ruins Pompeii… It took me a while to write about Pompeii. The Pompeii Archaeological Ruins is on the west coast of Italy overlooking the bay and the city of Naples. There was a time when Pompeii attracted affluent people and vacationers to the area, becoming one of the most desirable places for the distinguished and blue collared. Lined with beautiful houses, villas, and shops until that fateful night when Mount Vesuvius, the most dangerous volcano in the world, erupted. It was 79 A.D. History says that the blast was so intense that people could see it even if they were hundreds of miles away. Ash and lava swallowed everything surrounding it—including the city of Pompeii burying about 11,000 residents under 13 to 20ft of volcanic ash.

When I fell in love with Paris
Imagine 3 siblings conquering Paris together. All with completely different personalities. We will start with my younger sister. An introvert most of the time, intelligent and the kindest soul. When it comes to family, she is the middle man, the rock, and everyone’s savior. I am the middle child, and I am super outgoing. I am super OCD, like things to go a certain way. I try to be go with the flow, but fail. My older brother likes things a certain way as well. He is a history buff, medieval times nerd, and very serious. We do have many things in common: We are foodies, we all love traveling, and we all have a good sense of humor. With the "needing things a certain way," my sweet sister and some lovely french wine helped.

Capri and Anacapri
Capri is located in southeast Italy, slightly south of Naples. Sorrento, the isle of Capri and the Amalfi Coast combined is a spectacular region in Campania and on the Sorrentine Peninsula overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea. Breathless views and serene landscapes will take your breath away.

The Amalfi Coast
The Amalfi Coast is a 50-kilometer stretch of coastline along the southern edge of Italy’s Sorrentine Peninsula, in the Campania region. It’s a popular holiday destination, with sheer cliffs and a rugged shoreline which are highlighted with small beaches and pastel-colored fishing villages. The coastal road between the port city of Salerno and clifftop of Sorrento brings you past impressive villas, adjoining vineyards and cliffside lemon groves

The city of Dublin
The Guinness Storehouse It takes very long to become an icon, but the Guinness Book of World Records has done it. The "Black Stuff" is among the most visited destinations all over the world, but this slowly settling Porter beer took its first steps at St James's Gate, in the heart of ancient Dublin. In 1759, an enterprising brewer named Arthur Guinness signed a 9,000 year lease on this brewery for an annual fee of £45. A couple of centuries later the Storehouse was born. Built in the style of the Chicago School of Architecture in 1904, it was originally used for fermentation. Today it is Ireland's main attraction, a shining all-inclusive multimedia exhibition, from ancient advertisements to the art of brewing, made perfect by a pint in the Gravity Bar with its 360° view. When you get there, don't forget to toast Arthur's wonderful creation!

Driving Through the Pyrenees Mountain in A 15-Day Journey
It’s officially done. The airline has canceled our 2020 trip. Even though I knew it would happen I still had a bit of hope that traveling to Europe would be possible this year. It was a trip planned back in January of this year before Coronavirus went on a rampage spread. And I understand the overall concern and why it had to be canceled. Hopefully, we can reschedule in 2021. And, depending on fare rates, we might do more than one trip.
