Vagabundo del Mundo

I will have start this blog with a few apologies. My goal was to update every two weeks, but that has proven more difficult than I thought for a variety of reasons. The second will be for puncuation, as I am always writing from foriegn countries and foriegn keyboards, you will just have give me a pass. So here I am 23 days in, and in my second country posting my first update.

Well this race started as more of a sprint than a marathon. Just one week before I left, my brother organized a fanatastic going away party and and just an awesome weekend of great company. Following I spent the rest of my final week, donatining items to charity, selling off what I could and consolidating my belongings into a 5' x 8' storage pod.
All of that frantically accomplished by Friday, or plane took of on Saturday for Venice.

I spent the first two weeks of my travels with my brother, and two other friends Dave and Matt. We managed to pack a lot of adventure into those two weeks including visits to Venice, Paderno, Bassano, Florence, Rome, Pompei, Sorrento, and Amalfi. The most memorable times however were not the Collosseum, the ruins of Pompei, or the stunning Amalfi Coast. The memorable times were organic from our group, and the numerous late nights, or early mornings (It depends on your opinion of 5 am). The random strangers who popped into our lives providing entertainment and comedy material for those two weeks, and many more to come for sure.

Most of all , I want to extend grattitude to Dave for planning and coordinating the bulk of the events. They were two weeks full of great times that won't soon be forgotten. Sorry to summarize, but that is what happens when you have a lot of catching up to do.
