More stories and pix from Italy trip!

It seems unbelieveable that less than two weeks ago I was back in gorgeous Sorrento, Italy. My husband and I were there 35 years ago and stayed at the Hotel Parco dei Principe. I was very eager to get back there to see if it had changed much. To my delight it was quite recognizable and was only better, if anything. This time aound I didn't stay there but just dropped by one afternoon for tea and sandwiches. We were served on a beautiful terrace over-looking the Bay of Naples. Enjoy these pictures and let me know if YOU would like to book a trip there! Yes, this is a five-star hotel!

Back to Louisville from trip to Italy!!

These pix were taken in our first four days in Rome. The picture on the left is the ancient Colisseum were gladiators used to have their contests. There were actually a few gladiators standing outside but they wanted money to have their pictures taken so I declined. On the right is the Pantheon which is also over 2000 years old. There was a McDonalds right across the square from the Pantheon and I felt sad about that. As a matter of fact, Rome of was full of McDonalds' restaurants! We declined to go there and instead opted for pasta, pizza, and gelato! Stay tuned for daily notes from my Italian holiday!

More pix from our Caribbean Cruise!

We had such an awesome time both before, during and after! Enjoy these pix!

Cash Family Returns from Awesome Cruise!

The Cash family is back from our fabulous cruise to the Caribbean...except that, at the last minute, we went to the Bahamas! Yes, tropical storm Fay beat us to Key West and was headed to Miami so we headed out on Monday afternoon to Grand Turk, Bahamas! Our first night at sea was a little rough and during dinner plates went flying several times. We were told that we had hit a "wall" of 20-foot waves and that things were fine, but we really were not too happy about it. Still, we ate our dinner and then went to hear a comedy show which made us forget about the waves, thunder and lightening and pouring rain outside. Tuesday morning presented us with brilliant blue skies and sunshine and the storm was gone! To read more about our trip, go to http://www.travelwithchantdoc.blogspot.com/, but give me a few minutes because I haven't written it yet! I'll definitely cruise again because overall it was a wonderful, fun voyage!

Tomorrow we leave for our Cruise!!

Wow! What a week this has been! First I had a stress test on Monday because "they" thought I might have had a slight cardiac "event." While waiting to get on the treadmill, I was checking my email on my cellphone and found an email telling me I had finally been awarded the patent on my music for surgery headphones! Now, tomorrow I leave for Miami to meet by three daughters and two sons-in-law and on Monday we'll board a ship for the Western Carribbean! Of course, Tropical Storm Fay has now developed so Carnival says if she goes west, we'll go east and vice versa. Either way, we'll still be cruising! Right now, if all goes as planned, we'll leave Miami on Monday afternoon, spend Tuesday in Key West and Wednesday in Cozumel, snorkeling and biking in both locations! If we go to the Bahamas, we can still do the same activities! Stay tuned and wish us well with TS/Hurrican Fay!! I'll let you know in regular posts!

Let's Go to Italy!

That's exactly what I'm going to be doing this September! I'm so excited about going back to the beautiful country where I lived and studies for most of 1974! My husband and I lived in Genoa, right on the Italian riviera and I studied piano in Milano while he studied architecture all over the country! It was an awesome experience and, although I've returned a couple of times since then, this trip will focus exclusively on Italy. We'll do Rome, Florence, Pisa, Assisi, Sorrento, Capri, and Pompeii.

Of course we made all the plans on www.CashFamilyTravel.com and got great deals on plane tickets, hotels, and all travel extras! I hope you'll give our site a try and if you want to check out getting a site of your own, let me help you. It's one of the best decisions I've made lately! Stay tuned for my pictures!

The benefits of having your own travel site

Do you like to travel? Do you travel on a regular basis? Do you get tired of prices on flights, hotels, and rental cars going up, up, up? How would you like to have your own travel site and make the commission yourself?

My webmaster actually told me about the "own your own travel site" business and I was intrigued. The company I bought my site from is called YTB travel and it's still possible to get one for less than $500.00. Not only can you immediately start booking your own and friend's travel but you're also allowed to market these sites to your friends, neighbors, clients and get a % of their bookings! So far, it's working out really well and I am so excited to think that I'll have this for the rest of my life and can even leave it to my own children as a functioning business!

If you want to know more about getting one for yourself, go to www.ytb.com/chantdoc or www.CashFamilyTravel.com. Of course call me of email me any time with questions!
