Bella Napoli

Bella bella bella........I always say it and I still believe it....but as I mentioned before you either hate it or you love it...there is juts nothing in between.

So we went to Napoli because we are getting ready for our move to the US, and for that, the family (excluding me) needs Greencards. Lucky enough, because I was born in the US I am able to sponsor my husband, child and my parents.....so hence we have been completing all the paperwork...it went for approval in Rome and now they want a medical check up and interview in Napoli, so of course a trip to Napoli was in order. The medical check up needs to be done at 8am, the day before the interview so hence we spent three nights in Napoli and we managed to eat some delicious food.

Of course we had to try the good old Pizza....the buffalo mozzarella and some seafood specialties....I think I need to share some pics just to get your mouth watering....

We also went to do a little bit of sight seeing....we wanted to see the OVO Castle....EGG castle (translated).....why egg.....I am sure you are asking yourself....well here it goes....the legend states that a magical egg was laid into the foundations to support the fortifications. Had this egg been broken, the castle would have been destroyed and a series of disastrous events for Naples would have followed....well the castle is still standing....so I guess the egg was NOT broken....it was quite cool to see.....let me share some pics....

Another cruise in Western Caribbean

This is the second week....we started the journey in Tampa and this Tampa we decided to take Sofia to the aquarium...I was quite interested to see whether she would be fascinated with the fishes or not....and she was....certain ones...certain ones not too much....but she definitely enjoyed going there. The aquarium had 8 sections: Wetlands Trail, Journey to Madagascar, Bays & Beaches, No Bone Zone, Coral Reefs, Dragons Down Under, Ocean Commotion and Splash Pad. We visited all except for the Splash Pad (that is outside for the kids to play and it was closed at the moment). It was nice also because there were areas where you could touch the sting rays...I enjoyed that, Sofia did not want to touch them, and nor did Kim.

Sofia in the Jeep Kim and the Jeep Cherokee Friday night we had some Sushi take-aways because Sofia was jet lagged, and so were we, so we did not make it to a restaurant with her.  Saturday there was also quite a few admin things to get done...but it was a rainy day....it rained almost the whole day...so we got a bit wet, but it is warm rain......so never mind. We started off by driving past our new home (could not go inside as the current owners were packing up) and then we made our way to McKinney where we have a friend who has been so kind to receive and store all of our post,
