Honeymoon - Eve of Departure
Added 2024-09-19 05:40:27 +0000 UTCTomorrow, at a reasonable hour befitting two people who are trying to treat themselves nicely during a once-in-a-lifetime vacation, we will board a plane for Heathrow, then bella Napoli. There will be no one-two punch of awful sleep and terrible airport pastry that makes everyone constipated. There will be no seeing of one's breath while loading into the Uber. This honeymoon will not begin with unsightly cortisol abdomens, or the harrowing sort of disassociation where you wonder if you were just talking out loud to yourself in your seat.
Our path is Ercolano > Minori > Rome > Naples, and, emboldened by the expressive relationship which I believe Italians have with clothing, I have brought pants in pink, orange, yellow, and pinstripe. I also have a bright orange shirt, which I hope you will see in photographic updates as we wend our way from zuppa to noci each day. I have not worn this bright of a shirt before, but I am hoping I can get away with it, there among the sanguine children of Remus. (I believe Romulus was childless and given to philately, but I hope to discuss this with someone.)
See you tomorrow, Chochacho. I intend to post a daily or near-daily tour diary for you, as you have been so kind as to significantly help make this lovely trip possible. Buona notte.

What a nice thing to read. Lauren would definitely make conversation; she is from Wisconsin. I am trying to learn.

2024-09-20 01:58:12 +0000 UTCYou guys have got that 'Beautiful People' vibe, like if I stepped onto a crowded bus and there was an open seat next to you, I would think about sitting down. Instead of standing, holding on to the rail, and trying to seem interested in the 'HAIRs N NAILs' salon we are stopped next to at the red light. Also Wodehouse is a comforting voice anywhere in the world. Plus! I have that Ray scarf, in that color. More to the point, have a tremendous Honeymoon. I hope it's the best trip in your life.
