July 31, 2012
Last month when Gillian told me that she would be taking the bus from Rome to the Amalfi Coast, it sure got my attention.

Our Positano House
July 1, 2011
I always enjoy spending time in our Positano house but as we are often away during summer, it’s underutilized. This summer, as we are away, we decided to rent out our Positano house.
