Thoughts, experiences and adventures from a resident of DelSo aka Delaware Avenue South in Albany, N.Y.
I’ve come to learn that no two trips are ever the same - there are far too many factors involved. Things like personal finances, weather, physical wellness and current interests are variable and, in my experience, combine uniquely on each individual adventure.

Almost 24 hours later, I think I’m finally able to attempt to share the finest moments of my time in Florence.

In no way do I begrudge Mr & Mrs Amazon their tremendous wealth. They obviously need the money they possess more than I ever could. Granted it was 30+ years ago, but my wedding came in at about $12,000. And it was absolutely lovely. I certainly can’t imagine ever feeling the need to spend $25-50 … Continue reading An Amazon wedding
