American Airlines is adding a new seasonal service from their Philadelphia hub (my hometown) to Naples, Italy giving travelers a daily direct gateway to the Amalfi Coast starting June 5th and ending in October. Just another reason to love my hometown hub of PHL. The beauty of this new route […]
I’ve just watched Stanley Tucci’s new show, Searching for Italy and his Naples episode took me back to my first visit there and how much it different it was to the other cities/regions in Italy. As Stanley travels, I want to revisit my Italy visit and share favorite posts to […]
I love to visit the Amalfi Coast in September/October so sharing an older post of my memories from this glorious part of Italy while I’m grounded in the US for a while. If you are planning a visit to Italy in 2021 or 2022, consider spending time along the Amalfi […]
Revisiting a few of my favorite memories in Italy. Planning your 2021 trip to Italy? Don’t forget to add Herculaneum (and Pompeii) to compare/contrast the ruins.

Hidden within the lanes of the Old Town is the Underground Naples Tour. As you descend the stairs to another world entirely, you quickly forget the chaos of the city above, the heat of the day and are taken back in time. I had no clue about this tour. I made […]
Two people, my colleague and the Napoli owner of the Italian restaurant in Barcelona, said you MUST eat pizza at the oldest pizza shop in Naples, L’Antica Pizzeria Da Michele. I had to go to experience a real Napoli pizza in all its glory. With the assistance of Google Maps, I eventually found […]
Despite the live version of Frogger playing out on the Naples streets where I was running thru traffic hoping that the cars, buses and scooters would stop to let me cross, I somehow decided “I want to do a bike tour of the city”. I found Bike Tour Napoli on […]
In my research of Naples, I happened upon the Partenope Relais on the waterfront. Intrigued by the fact that it was only 24 boutique styled rooms on one floor, I was sold on the theme – the movies. Each room would have a famous scene from the actor or director […]
