- “What money comes out of the ATM?”
- “I was singing cume-bi-ya, singing and telling people that Jesus loves them and you were driving around in your car with the windows up smoking!”
- Going to the beach and looking at each other – one of us thinking we were swimming the other not wanting to
- “Sister Justine” being called a car-putt-ya”
- All of the people on our trip reminding us of others from a cousin, 2 friends, a neighbor, an lovely aunt, and a grandma
- Gelato every day. Every day. Lemon, raspberry, apricot, espresso were the best. We really didn’t find one we didn’t like. 😜
- The little narrow streets with cobblestones
- All the winking Justine received. Mom didn’t get any. 😳
- Justine telling me to stop shopping. Mom you don’t need that.
- Justine having an uncanny sense of direction while I lost mine.
- All the phallic references: actual statues, paintings, Pompeii, key chains, pasta, underwear, oil bottles.
- The not great wifi
- The accommodations. Always good, but pretty small, narrow, extra firm beds in Sorrrento.
- Landing in Rome, then Naples, sailing to and around Capri, scenic driving to Amalfi, the sketchy drive back to Sorrento from Amalfi and meeting the garbage truck, the drive to Rome, flying home and being delayed.
- Our uber cab driver in Naples. Was he just some guy wanting to make some money???
- Going on the mozzarella farm tour. Watching this lady make cheese, and sitting down with our tour mates and the meal being very quiet until the wine got poured. Jesse, Louis and Lenore from New Jersey were so fun. Jesse was a hoot and a half while his lil brother Louis was so quiet.
- Meeting Nancy from New Orleans and Julie from Denver and becoming good buddies with them.
- Checking “find my iPhone” and seeing where our family was – 2 on on one part of the world and the other 2 on a different side.
- The heat. Sweating A LOT every day. Wearing everything I brought on this trip, except for rain jacket and long sleeve sweater. Rick Steeves packing list does work, but I’m happy I brought more shirts that he suggested.
- Texting with Leah and feeling a connection with home when she was in Europe.
- Thank goodness for FaceTime and texting. Staying in touch with home made it easier to be away from Allen and Carter (and Sophie and Magi)
- Spending over a week with my daughter. The best memory of it all.
