Lara is heading for Italy, again, and this time she will be working in the country of pasta and pizza. Of course not without a stay in Utah and Oregon first... Lani will be headed to California and then Mexico this summer, and could possibly be living in Argentina before long! Join us as we continue on our adventures around the world... AGAIN! http://www.getjealous.com/omgirl http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=493564&go=omgirl At least I'll get points for honesty... You know, everyone who travles always loves it, they have so much fun and meet so many people and get to see so many interesting places. Well, what if you moved to one of those places? Sure, at first everything is hunky-dorry and birds sing and the sun always shines... but after awhile the true colors of everything start to show through. For instance, i... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=493564&go=omgirl Sun, 15 Jun 2008 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=492902&go=omgirl Well, yesterday I visited Brescia which is a city just an hours train ride outside of Milano and only a stones throw away from Verona. Yes, THE Verona where the story of Romeo and Juliet was to take place. Brescia's streets are narrow and lined with cobble-stone in some places but patterned with tile in others. Flowers bloom in every color of pink and purple while overflowing from windows and t... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=492902&go=omgirl Fri, 13 Jun 2008 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=486459&go=omgirl Ciao! So I am back in Italy and it was no small feat. After a 14 hour plane trip from Hawaii to San Francisco and no sleep I got to forge my way from SFO International Airport to the city center and flag a taxi... something that is made to look extrememly easy in the movies but in reality is practically impossible! Made it to the Italian Consulate and realized that I needed to have my flight re... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=486459&go=omgirl Fri, 23 May 2008 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=385097&go=omgirl It is 3pm in the village and in this part of the town that means that you are relentlessly serenaded by one of the locals who plays his trumpet every afternoon. It is actually quite pleasant until he hits a sour note and that is when your brain scrambles just slightly at the sound. Today he is playing "Summertime..." "Your daddy's rich and your ma is good looking... so hush little baby don't you... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=385097&go=omgirl Sun, 9 Sep 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=380309&go=omgirl Last night a small group of us Manarola youth all piled into a couple of cars and headed off for a night of fun at the go-cart track outside of Sarzana. We arrived not knowing what to expect and as I was strapped into a hi-speed go-cart, complete with crash helmet, my heart raced with anticipation. Just a few minutes earlier we had witnessed intense braking, acceleration, and tires squealing aro... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=380309&go=omgirl Sat, 25 Aug 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=371469&go=omgirl Melbourne is a city the oozes artistic style out of every cafe, nightclub and tram that color this metropolitan city. Federation Square is a clash of contemporary and classic with the Moving Arts building on one side and Flinders Station on the other. I caught the end of the Melbourne International Film Festival and viewed the Pixar exhibition at the AMCI. I came here planning on staying for 3 day... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=371469&go=omgirl Fri, 10 Aug 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=368879&go=omgirl Today the local gossip group gathered. It is something like a sewing circle except for the fact that these women do not sew! They need no excuse to get together in order to "chat" with the locals. In fact, they are better known in Manarola as "The Senate." They set up shop every day at around 5 pm right outside my apartment, making it impossible to get home without having to stop and share a f... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=368879&go=omgirl Sun, 5 Aug 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=368790&go=omgirl The other night Paolo and I were invited to eat dinner at La Artista's house. La Artista is one of many nicknames, including Il Rey (The King), that has been bestowed upon our friend Andrea. He sat at the head of the table wearing a big grin and a gold painted cardboard crown as Paolo dished out the muscle pasta we were all so eagerly awaiting. Twelve people surrounded the food and multiple bot... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=368790&go=omgirl Sat, 4 Aug 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=364413&go=omgirl Happy Birthday to Me!!! I've been having the best and the most difficult experiences in my life. It's hard acclimating to a new culture and a new language but at the same time it is a beautiful and exciting adventure. Last night at the local Taverna/Cantina there was a Festa Hawaiiana that most of the young people in the village showed up for along with a few handfuls of the elder gentiles. Fo... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=364413&go=omgirl Fri, 27 Jul 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=367265&go=omgirl The northern coast of Australia is a playground for surfers. There are heaps of perfect sand bar breaks all along the coast. We planned on surfing as many as we could, so we joined the que of cars on the left, early Monday morning from Sydney heading up the coast to Byron Bay. Four hours into our adventure and we found ourselves at Seal Rock. This is a usually a good point break, but not really ... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=367265&go=omgirl Thu, 26 Jul 2007 12:00:00 GMT
