It is funny, I have travelled a lot but it has been a very long time since I travelled with my family. Inside jokes, being too loud, and stupidity make the trip already seem different from my previous travels. "The Bluds invade Italy" as my younger yoden cousin instagramed. The flight over had my brother, cousin, aunt and myself in one row. We were definitely the loudest on the plane. Nic made me get extra glasses of wine for him as he proceeded to put himself to sleep. I thought I was a hot sleeper, but Nic is a fireball, I thought I was sleeping next to a sponge. The flight wasn't too bad we slept most of the way.
Once landed we took a bus from Rome to Positano. Our driver was Salvatore and he was the man. Giving us the high speed tour around the high cliffs of the Amalfi coast. Unbelievable how everything is right on the edge. Listening to him speak Italian saying my moms name, Debra (Deh-bore-ah).
We touched down at our villa and we couldn't believe the view. Over looking the duomo, beach, and hill with all the houses.
We have week filled with activities that I can't wait for. If I end up looking 50 pounds heavier don't be surprised because I'm going to be doing a lot of eating. Speaking of, it is dinner time so I'm going to go get some vino è shellfish.
Ciao donna bella,
Francesco
