Italy Travelogue, Part 2

Finally, more Italy trip coverage.  Just a few months late ^^;

This is a photo-intensive post.  I was planning on cramming all my remaining photos into this post but I just had too many I liked >_<  So there will be one final post sometime later. ^^;

In this post, I will cover a brief trip to the mountains, Pisa, and day 1 of Florence.

To start things off, we head to the Italian alps for some sightseeing and lunch at a nice restaurant.

Italy Travelogue, Part 1

I finally got off my lazy butt and went through my Italy trip photos >_<  After cleaning out the junk images, I ended up with around 1,000 photos.  Of course, I’m not going to be posting them all here, no one would like that xD.  Instead, I’ve picked out some of the better ones and will be posting them along with a description of where I was and what was going on.

I present part 1 of 2 or 3 total parts, I haven’t decided how many more to do ^^;

italy 001We started our trip off in Indianapolis, departing from the new Indianapolis International Airport that opened last winter.  Definitely the coolest airport I’ve visited. Continue reading

Home sweet home

Just an image I liked ^^;

I’m back in the States after a nice two and a half week vacation in Italy.  After about 12 hours of flying, 3 sitting in airports, and 2 more sitting in a plane on the tarmac, we touched down in Indianapolis around 10pm.  Finally got home after being awake for about 26 hours (yay, jet lag) and took a nice long nap ^^;  I wasn’t planning on blogging much about my trip but I think I took enough interesting pictures to make a few posts out of it ;)

But first I need to wade the massive backlog of email (both work and home) and all the other things that have piled up in my absence. I will be posting some pics in a day or so.  I just need to sort through them all :)

Ciao from Italy

img_0496Just a quick update on my trip to Italy.  We’re currently staying in Florence, relaxing in our hotel room after a long, hot day (35C, 95F!) roaming the city.  Our trip is about halfway through; we’ve been to a lot of awesome places and are going to see more in the next week ^^.

I’ve taken nearly 1,000 photos already >_<  The above pic is Kagami visiting Venice.  She decided to tag along on the trip for some reason ^^;  The Internet connection here is too slow to upload more and editing RAW images on a Mini 9 is not fun XD.  I will definitely need to post some of the better ones when I get back to the States :)

Going AFK for a while

Will be leaving for a trip to Italy in about 12 hours.  I’m going to be in Europe for 2 and a half weeks, mostly visiting family there but also getting in some good sightseeing!  Bringing my camera and nice lens as I expect to be taking lots of pictures ^^.  I don’t think I’ll have Internet access most of the time so it’s very unlikely I will be posting before I return.  Let’s see how long I can go without net access ^^;

So, until then, signing off!
