REVELRY ON THE RIVIERA

We were on the last leg of David’s birthday tour. We spent most of the day driving from Barcelona to the French Riviera, where we’d spend 2 nights in Antibes. We were staying at the lovely ROYAL ANTIBES. It’s across the street from the Mediterranean … and has a private…

WHERE YOU GOING? / BARCELONA / OH

Up early … the new decade morning … David went to dip his toes into the Mediterranean before our French petite dejéuner in Fréjus. The HOTEL LE CATALOGNE had a lovely offering, and we enjoyed croissants, pain au chocolat, and café au lait. …

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU

We were on David’s birthday tour … first stop, Milan. With no missed turns or major re-routing, amongst the usual mélange of Milanese motorists, we found the garage entrance to the SUNFLOWER HOTEL in the Bisvio district. We had arrived in the limbo between lunch and dinner. When we asked…

PUT ANOTHER CANDLE ON YOUR BIRTHDAY CAKE

When you’re young, you can have a birthday party every year. In fact, people plan parties for you … bring gifts … play games … sing and make wishes … eat cake and ice cream. Then celebrations slow down … and you celebrate the ones with 0s. …

I’M SEEIN’ SIGNS FOR CALIFORNIA

We weren’t going to attend my high school reunion. We’d gone to L.A. a year earlier, even though that reunion had been Covid-canceled prior to our trip. But, finally, we said why not … especially when we attached it to a couple weeks in Hawaii. We were lucky to get…

HAWAII (SPF) FIVE-OH

Caveat lector: This is just an excuse to post photos of Hawaii. FeeL free to scroll through the blah-blah-blah and behold the blue. This wasn’t going to be a tourist trip. No lei greeting … no hotels … no luaus. We’d stay with David’s niece Aja and assorted friends. …

MIXED BAG

Lago di Garda is our lake, our favorite. David fell in love there. Not with me, but with Italy in 2004. We stayed in Room 411 … quattrocentoundieci was David’s first word. …

UMBRIA ON MY MIND

After cappuccino and cornetti, we said arrivederci to our hosts in Rome, newlyweds Joyce the American and Claudio the Roman (sorry for the geographic mismatch), and drove north to Orvieto. After our supermarket tourism stop at the Coop, we made our way up the winding hill along increasingly narrow streets…

MEET MY MARITO

It would be a short trip. Our American friend and newlywed Joyce wanted us to meet her marito romano Claudio. They had moved to an apartment in a Rome suburb with a guest room … an offer we couldn’t refuse. As with all trips, once we pick the dates, I…
