    Today was a day I’ve been looking forward to! From Trapani, on Sicily’s northwestern coast, we went to the Egadi Islands of Favignana and Levanzo for a full-day excursion.

  • I’m On A Boat

    There’s nothing like being on a boat! (Remember the SNL video short “I’m on a Boat!”?) Well, last week I was on a catamaran with Captain Vito, leaving Castellammare del Golfo behind… The wind in my hair, the sun warming my skin, the salty sea teaming with happy fish (We even saw a dolphin!) ……
