Sorrento, Italy Wishes You Were Here
Blog: Suzy Guese - 27 April 2012
Knowing my destination and not knowing it at the same time, my taxi driver slammed on his brakes in the middle of a cliff-top road. With a whole line of cars waiting behind him, I knew his yelling and pointing in Italian meant he wanted me to get out of the taxi, admire the view and [...]

Taking the Path Previously Traveled

Lady in Positano
Blog: A Lady in London - 14 May 2010
Everything I read about the Amalfi Coast suggested that the most beautiful coastal town in the area was Positano.

Lady in Capri
Blog: A Lady in London - 11 May 2010
Capri is enchanting. With its reputation as a jet-setter destination, its stunning rows of white-awninged luxury shops, and its dramatic natural scenery, the island is a tiny paradise in the Mediterranean.
