Italy

 Earlier in the month my friend, Deneka, and I took a military hop to Naples, Italy.  It was only a 3 day trip, but it was without children which makes it extra wonderful!

 We took the train down to Pompeii to see the old ruins and remains from the infamous Mt. Vesuvius eruption.  It was amazing.  If you are ever in the area, it is definitely a must-see!

 We had trouble with our flight and had a take a train up to Rome to catch another plane.  It was a bit stressful but nonetheless a fabulous adventure. 

And as silly as it sounds, Taco Bell was one of the highlights of our trip.  Having been on this island long enough with absolutely no American restuarants is fine.  But we you see a Taco Bell at the Naples Navy Base, it almost can bring tears to your american food-starved eyes...well, actually it did!
