re: Italy in July - Family trip with young kids

Posted by Decker on 4/11/24 at 9:05 pm

I really enjoyed eating pizza in Naples and then visiting Vesuvius and Pompeii. Some say Herculaneum is even better but we didn’t go there. The highlights of our time in Positano were a chartered boat tour that included Capri and a private boat rental that I piloted (with relative ease) up and do...

We used Junie’s and they had great service. I’m sure they will drop your car at the airport. They dropped at the ferry port. Madeariman is great. I recommend the calamari and crayfish. Gwen’s closed around 7 most nights so might want to do a pre dinner drink....

Pimm’s was great. The service was impeccable. I made our reservation a week or two in advance. I think it books up quickly. I made our reservation at Strawhat that afternoon, so it should be an available alternative. If you are staying at Zemi House, I think you will really enjoy eating at the b...

We actually flew basically 50 pounds of meat down to the exumas last June. Froze it and put it in a cooler with no ice. Had no problem checking it in Atlanta or retrieving it in Exuma....

We stayed at the Hilton Los Cabos, which is a little outside of Cabo San Lucas, and it was amazing. The town of San Jose del Cabo is close by and great for eating. We took the kids and they loved it and have been begging to go back....

One of my all time favorites. Gene Hackman is such a great actor. I watched it with my kids and they loved it. I watch the scene before the big game from time to time - the preacher’s no nonsense David and Goliath recitation fires me up. Someone mentioned earlier in this thread that they’ve used ...
