Big fan of Air France. On my third Movie. Looper and Trouble with the Curve are both solid flicks.
Naples is a port city. It’s gritty, dense and Italian in a mafioso kind of way. Fitting that we visited on the only dreary day of our trip. This is Napoli in black and white.
After being disappointed by the pizza in Rome, we took the train to Naples, the birthplace of pizza. In the extremely dense hillside neighborhoods of Napoli, we found a family pizzeria (they’re all family pizzerias in Napoli) and thoroughly enjoyed the Neapolitan style pizza. The Grandparents who opened the place.
Ensuring our trip back by adhering to local legend and tossing a coin in the fountain.
Happy 2013! We decided to skip the official Colosseum New Year’s Eve Celebration and brave the “People’s” celebration in Piazza del Popolo. Although mostly unregulated and chaotic, it felt right. Everyone was throwing MD-80s and firecrackers into the center of the square, but it never felt overly dangerous. Everyone drinking champaign. No fights. No explosions in the crowd. No way you experience anything like…

Spent the morning in bed fixing what I had so royally screwed up last night. Goal #21 is all that I’m missing. Anyone?
Love locks placed at the gates of Piazzale Michelangelo. With the new year upon us, I figured I’d clean house and unlock a goal or two. P.S. Best completion rate ever. #6 Done. I’ve had two wrecks or fender benders in two years. This year?… Nothing. #8. Had plenty of opportunities, but the pillow always wins. #10-#14. I love excess. I will try to…
Where will we be five years from now? If not bankrupt, we’ll definitely be out of Burbank. With that said, we’ve identified five places (neighborhoods, schmeighborhoods) we’d like to move to. #1. Florence. We’ve fallen in love. I can only hope I’m not tied to the US in five years as I pretty much demand I live abroad in this lifetime. #2. Studio City….
I’m not sure how it happened, but I have challenged Sonia’s shoe collection in recent years. My buddy Matt would call me half a fruit, but it is what it is. The majority of my collection is made up of Gucci. So, it’s only fitting that I’d buy a pair in Firenze where the brand was founded in 1921. But it couldn’t be any…
View from the Piazzale Michelangelo.
The Four Seasons in Florence is hands down the best hotel we have ever stayed at.
Duomo di Santa Maria del Fiore Basilica di Santa Croce Galileo’s Tomb Michelangelo’s Tomb
Finished up, A Bitter Brew, the rise and fall of Anheuser Busch.
17 and champagne at dinner. When in Rome. The three of us enjoyed the tasting menu at Anico Arco on one of the seven hills overlooking Rome. Delicioso.
Santa Maria della Vittoria Bridge over the Tiber River The Capitol The Pantheon Piazza Navona Trastevere
We visited the Spanish Steps and Trevi Fountain before the Jet Lag set it. We’ll hit the ground running in the morning.
Hawaii is the natural choice for our Christmas vacation, but #85 made me think outside of the box. Just being out here in the crisp air made me realize there is no “best time” to travel abroad.
Being prepared is no less painful, so this goal will not return in 2013.
Vallartas is a grocery store that caters to the latin population in California. We love their selection of meats, so we like to shop here when we’re able to convince Sonia to cook dinner. The lines always move because no one’s basket is ever overflowing with food, which is why we chose a random Vallartas to spread some Christmas cheer. We wanted to anonymously…
Meh.
