A mini vacation

A few weekends ago my husband and I fled the island of Sicily in search of some much needed relaxation. We ended up in the Aeolian Islands (go figure, more islands) for a few days. Word to the wise: the first stop on the hydrofoil is NOT Lipari. Needless to say, we figured that out after we got off on Vulcano and the boat had already departed. Oh well, we actually enjoyed seeing a little bit of this island! Here are a few other things I learned on our trip:

1. My husband does have an ounce of romance in him :) (see below picture)
2. I get violently motion sick on small boats. Not cool.
3. Tuna are actually really big fish and not the size of the can they come in!

We got to see the volcano of Stromboli erupt several times from our boat.  The Aeolian Islands are absolutely gorgeous.  There is definitely something to be said about small town, island living.  All in all, we had a great time, even though it rained the last day. It's amazing how much a few days away with the person you love can refresh your soul :)
