Seven Hostel: Sorrento Italia

Here is a note from Liz:

Hey family!!!

The Sorrento hostel is AMAZING and has internet access!!! woot woot!!!


I took out 250 euro this afternoon to cover my debt to nikki for the past 2 days and the hostel bill for 3 nights.

So, because it is pretty much hurricane-ing here, they UPGRADED our hotel room and we are in a penthouse room on the ROOF with our own private deck and tanning area. talk.about.amazing.

However, it has been raining a lot so I doubt I'll have either tan lines or a tan. BUT we did have a lucky few hours of sun earlier today and we explored the shore and the local village. We are thinking of either traveling to Capri if it is sunny or Pompeii if it is rainy. I am hoping we'll do Pompeii just because it looks amazing and I've always wanted to travel there. So back to this amazing hostel, it is called hostel7 and it has its own bar club and restaurant downstairs and plenty of upper deck terraces to sunbathe on. You should definitely Google it when you get a moment.


I am missing everyone a lot from London, I got used to my little family there and I will admit that I miss them. However, I am deff ready to come home!!! Living out of a backpack is FUN but just not the same... I am trying to spend money wisely, »I promise! I have kept the souvenir buying to a minimum and have mainly spent moola on food and the necessities. I am going to attempt to top up my cell phone now- I cannot wait to see you all and show you all my fun photos. »I am still not sure how I am going to get my 2 huge suitcases, big backpack and computer case to heathrow next Tuesday, but I am thinking it will involve dressing in something cute and flirting with some strong Brits hahaha. I LOVE you guys and wish you were here experiencing this with me. When we were taking the train from Napoli into Sorrento, the scenery reminded me of the Bolivian rain forest you guys are going to have a blast this summer!!! OH and I just got an email from the camp guy asking me if I would be interested working at a Farm camp this summer. I'll have to look into it a bit more. lol.

Until Tuesday then!

Tell Bek and Rach I miss them terribly and cannot wait to see them next week. I spoiled them a little, so tell them to start preparing to be nice to me for at least a couple of days. hahaha.

Currently, the plan is to stay in sorrento until Thursday and then venture to Rome which will be about a 3 hour journey via 2 modes of transportation, 2 different trains.

If you talk to mémère or pépère tell them I will say hi to the Pope for them and that I will be there in NH in May to see them!!

Love you guys,

LizzY

Looking to weekend with warmup in the 80's

Durham, NC (27707) Weather Forecast

How did I survive New England? Even today, windows are open, air is cool, pollen is EVERYWHERE, but lovin' this weather. Stella is content to be at my feet. Kitchen floor is being put in, so dust is everywhere, but then we'll have one seamless floor downstairs.

Lizzie comes home on the Cinco de Mayo! ... Bek and Rachel have gowned up for a trek to the prom. Louise and Megan are visiting, Gayle and Melissa left Sunday. Life is good.

Happy Friday, wish I were in bed

Ah to have teen daughters who have friends over for supper, b-ball hoop assembly, fire pit Smore's session and of course the requisite movie. Sweeney Todd is NOT Bek's cup o tea. And now it is 12:16, and the 4 young lasses and 2 laddies are keeping me way beyond my bedtime.

Oh the arms of Morpheus beckon me, the movie is done, and now they talk. I gave them the heave-ho speech once, next time I stand there until they leave. Don't they know I need every minute of beauty rest I can grab. You don't look this good without having to rack up the hours of sleep. Man, I'll never star in my own movie if I develop bags under my eyes.

(what a joke, my bags have bags!). Mom is at LGRH in Laconia, for a much needed retreat. It will be tough on Dad, and she made my brother Leo promise to take care of him.. If she actually didn't dote on him, she might not have run herself down so. Mom, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. You are a GREAT Mom, and from everything I see, an Excellent wife.

I've been reading an excellent book, I actually finished it, William Youngs "The Shack" I think Mom could appreciate this at some point when she's doing better. Ah, the company is leaving ... now I can lock up, set the alarm and go to be ... Yeah SLEEP! Bonsoir!

p.s. Wendy, if you read this, we have a job for Randy, set of deck stairs to even out our deck (match the left hand side, set an identical set on the right hand side, to make them symmetrical). Not to mention this will lead to our patio where we will sit to lounge.
