I was going to make a movie review entry tonight but had to fill in a number of forms today which took all my 'writing' time! So I'll just make a quick post
( Read more... )
OMG-OMG-OMG!!! I can't WAIT either! My travel agent called me today and I went in to finalize a couple of things! We will be flying to Amsterdam on KLM on April 23rd. We will arrive at 11:35 your time. The hotel I had originally chosen, the Marriott, costs $475 per night for a double room, so I had to choose another hotel because that's just nuts! LMAO. Olivia and I will be there for 3 nights, so that would have been prohibitive. I chose the Eden Hotel instead, which was also expensive at half the price of the Marriott! But the Eden is in the city centre so it should be fine. What do you think? Is it OK or have I landed us in the red-light district? LOL.
OMFG, yes! When I decided on Naples I had to add an extra week to the vacation! You should come with us! We will fly to Naples from Munich on April 30th and from there to Madrid on May 4th. *squeeeees* So we will have plenty of time to stalk Lavezzi and Denis during the 4 nights we will be there! Oh god, I just can't wait!!!!!! *dies*
Movie time. I have still to watch 'El Metodo' and 'Plata Quemada'. Too much football.... Have seen 'Maria Full Of Grace' beautiful movie about a girl, 'Testosterone' simply GREAT and surprising, 'The Devils Backbone' one of the best! snd 'Habana Blues' a bitter sweet little movie.
Thank you! He had a wonderful birthday party! He was so thrilled.
Those movies you haven't watched yet are great movies. And OMG - I've just finished watching 2 more Pablo Echarri movies. I am in love with this Argentine actor now more than ever.
The other movies you mentioned and haven't seen yet are also great movies!
Six years old have all the right to be thrilled *smiles*
I have always difficulties to find a torrent :( and if I have one I cannot watch or something like this, but I try it again. I wanna watch the movies. I wanna understand spanish!!!
Your trip to Europe sounds great. How long will you stay in Bavaria? I was living in Franconia for nearly 5 years and have a friend in Munich so I know my way around a bit. If you have the time maybe you'd like to visit Regensburg. It's really a small town but it has a beautiful historic centre the likes of which I haven't seen outside of Italy. Many old patrician houses and stuff.
If you like museums (or you have too much time left or the weather sucks etc. etc.) you could also visit the Alte Pinakothek in Munich. It has a quite impressive collection of paintings but it's not too big to manage in a few hours.
I'd love to go to Naples too. I know my way around Tuscany and Rome quite well but haven't yet come to visit the South. Naples and Sicily are definitely on my list. If you're looking for stuff to do and it's to your taste you could visit the temples of Paestum. It's a bit of a way to drive from Naples but I think it might be worth the effort (at least if your only half as much into old stuff as I am ;-P
( ... )
I will be in Bavaria for 4-5 days. Thanks for your helpful advice about different places to visit. I have an online friend in Augsburg and will be going to see her as well during that time. I love old stuff! Truly! I hope to visit many places in Italy and soak up some of the culture and history. Oh, I will probably take even more pictures than I did last year when I went to Spain & Portugal, and I took over 800 there! LOL. My moley things are bugging me lately, although they never did before. Technology is better now too, so hopefully there won't be any scarring. Thanks for your b'day wishes for Sean! Oh no, we made him wait until after school to open his pressies! If we'd let him do it earlier he never would have wanted to go to school and we would have had early morning drama! And they always do something for the birthday kids in his classroom, so he would have missed that! Plus, I had to get off to work, too! Maybe when he is older and can handle it better, we'll let him celebrate his birthday starting in the morning!
I think you'll love Italy. I for my part like it very, very much. The culture, the food, the people... :)
800 photos? Wow! I haven't yet managed to scan in my 120 or so from my trip to Florence. Yes, I'm an old-fashioned girl with an analogue camera but this I want to show some of my own photos when I post about my vacation (which was more than 2 months ago...). ;)
Now that you mention it, I have no idea how old I was when I was allowed to unwrap my presents before school. I guess at Sean's age that might have not yet been the case... I'd probably have rather played with my new barbie horse (or whatever) than to go to school! :)
I've never been to Italy, I've only caught a few travelogues on TV. LOL. I'm attracted by the food, the scenery, the men....what can I say? Oh god...*facepalm*...I've only managed to get about 300 printed so far and it's been over a year now. And I've been working on my scrapbook that long as well!
Yeah, Sean's a bit too young and wayyyy too hyper to encourage him in anything like unwrapping his presents early! I can't wait for Christmas! LOL.
Seems you have it all planned out! That's so awesome! I can't wait to finally meet you! I could come to Munich when you're there and meet up with you and stern_suedens, if you want that. I always enjoy seeing her, and I'm sure that would be great fun! :D And of course, you're all invited to my flat in Augsburg. =) I so wish I could join you when you travel to Spain and Portugal, but I don't think I'll have enough money next year. I've only just gotten my new job, and I think I'll need more time to save up enough for this trip. But I'm sure you'll go to Europe again, and then I'll definitely join you. :D
"Sean, NOBODY celebrates their birthday at 7:30 in the morning! You'll go to school first, THEN we'll have your party afterwards!"LOL, your son is too cute! XDDD
( ... )
It would be great if you came to Munich, but I was planning to visit Augsburg too, and stay at the InterCity Hotel for a night. However, my travel agent still has to book the hotels, so when he calls me in to go over that, we'll see what he's done! Don't worry, Bill, I will be back! And we can keep in touch, and when you have enough dinero saved, then we can go to Spain! I'll probably want to go somewhere else besides Sevilla, but I have to get the place out of my system first! Sevilla was perfect for me! I don't like really BIG cities that much, but I love medium-sized and smallish ones
