Day 2 – Rome…Seeing some old stuff

March 20, 2016 by thekellysontour 1 Comment

We surprised ourselves by getting a great nights sleep, waking up early, getting ready and heading up to the rooftop terrace for breakfast.  Everything was set out as a delicious buffet…..brimming with meats, cheeses, breads, fruit, yoghurt and danishes galore!!!!  A piglet with zero self controls dream (oink oink).

Need to just tell you a little bit about our fabulous little hotel.  Built in 1787 *so she’s a spring chicken* with the slowest lift in the world so we’ve decided the 4 floors are to be walked which should help with all that pasta and pizza I’m inhaling on an hourly basis.  The location is perfectamundo, right in the heart of the historical area and in theory we can walk to everything so again…..forced body movement is a good thing right? (ummm no screams my aching feet lol).  Room is great, floorboards instead of carpet which seems to be the Italian way.  Still loving the rooftop terrace, everyone needs one of these things especially with the cute smiling waiter that makes cappuccinos each morning….

March 15, 2016 by thekellysontour 2 Comments

After many months of planning and more hype than Bruce becoming Caitlin – we are on our way.  Of course as with anything we do there are always some glitches and funnies along the way so rather than keep these boring tales to myself I’m going to bore you guys with them.

45 days to go…

January 25, 2016 by thekellysontour No Comments

Amazingly…..in 45 days….husband and I will be jetting out of Canberra, Australia – away from our precious babies for the first time – on the adventure of a lifetime.  Well not exactly of a lifetime, but our first adventure without the children which sounds amazing and a little scary all at the same time right hahahaha.  Clearly if we survive this time alone with each other….a medal will be in order.

Husband and I will be heading to Italy for the most part, a little bit of Germany with a day trip to Austria – for a total of 3 glorious child free weeks – to celebrate 20 years of Marital Bliss (well it hasn’t all been bliss but you know what I mean).  It’s a pretty big deal to be married for 20 years you know…..these days not everyone is mad in the head enough to lumber themselves with the same person for so bloody long.  Noone is more surprised than us that we’ve made it this far hahaha so a celebration trip was definitely in order!!!!
