After one amazing week in Sorrento, Ann Taylor and I packed our bags and made our way up to The Eternal City. As expected, it was sad to leave the Hotel Bristol after such a fun visit, and we heard many “congratulations!” upon checking out. Aside from the omnipresent 80s American pop, one of the…

Honeymoon Day 6: Relaxing in Sorrento
It’s hard to believe that today is our last full day in Sorrento, but we were determined to make the most of it … starting by sleeping until 11am. After three early mornings — Capri, the cooking course, and Pompeii — it was time to enjoy the restful part of our honeymoon. With no activities…
