The Wait

This is something we have to get use to for sure. My wait was different than Kyle's wait today. I was up at 7am, not rested at all from the lack of sleep the night before. I had everything ready to go and I just needed to be patient and that's the hardest thing in the world on days like these. I took my time getting ready and eating breakfast. I was planning on heading to the hotel I booked for us before I went to the airport. I wanted to be there before noon and needed to leave at 10am to get there. Well it was snowing outside, so my plan of lugging all my stuff through the subways failed. I called a cab instead which meant I didn't need to leave till 11am now. Another hour of wait time. I was so ready to go when the can driver showed up. It was my first time using Uber and I'm so glad I did. The driver was fantastic and was so excited for me when I told him my plans for that day.

I booked us a room at the Springhill Hotel and Suites and had called ahead to make sure I could come check in early because I had a plan. Since Kyle and I couldn't physically be with each other on Christmas, I was making Christmas for us! That's why I got the hotel and was there at noon, 4 hours before he landed. Everyone at the hotel was very helpful and excited for me!

I did not expect the room to look like it did though. I was in shock, in a good way. It really was a suite, it was huge! With 2 full bathrooms, a bedroom, living room and even mini stovetop and fridge. There was tons of room too. After I took it all in for a minute I got to work on decorating the room. I had a my mini Christmas tree and decorated it with lights and ornaments. I hung his stocking and put presents under the tree. I had prepared dinner too, baked potato soup with all the fixings. I had that in my new crockpot from Christine and a pitcher of sangria in the fridge. Now that I look back on it I can't believe I transported a full crockpot and full pitcher of sangria without spilling a drop! Skills. I finished decorating the room faster than I thought it would take and once again I had more time to sit and wait. So I took a video of the room all decorated. I even had time to paint my nails.



KYLE POST VIDEO HERE


Once I couldn't last any longer I headed down to the front desk only to find that the 7 trains weren't running and that they wouldn't be for a long time. So again, I had to take a cab. They called one for me and I only wanted him to take me to the train stop because Kyle and I were going to have to take a cab back from the airport. Guess what shows up as my cab? A limo. All the time before Kyle flew out he joked about taking a limo home from the airport and here I was taking it a few blocks to the train station. I couldn't wait to tell Kyle, and soon I would be able to in person!!

I made it to the airport an hour before he landed. I didn't bring anything with me but my phone, credit card, room key and metro card. I didn't have much to entertain myself and it was torture trying to contain my excitement!! I kept checking kayak to see where his plane was.
Ugh where is he?! This is where I waited for him, forever...

Finally after over two hours, he walked through those doors that I had been staring at forever. I couldn't even hold still I wanted to just run up and grab him but I had to wait for him to come past the line into the waiting zone. But I couldn't wait any longer and when he was almost to me I giddly jumped into his arms! Finally!!
Finally, Together at last!

Building a table

So these are some of the things I do all day while I'm home alone when Kyle has to work. I usually go down to the corner cafe then go over to the markets and get what I need for dinner that night or any other random things we seem to need. If its not raining I'll go walk around the neighborhood and get lost and find my way back. This all needs to be done before 1 or 2 because thats nap time over here for everyone. All the shops close up for a few hours and go have huge lunches then sleep till its time to open up again for the evening. So today I built a table during those hours! Kyle bought this table from the NEX (the Navy Exchange on base) because the table he had barely fit the two of us, let alone a crowd if he ever had one. Plus his kitchen is big enough and he had gift cards so might as well! They delivered it around 9am and just put it in the kitchen then left. So it was up to us to build it. Well that was a bigger task than I expected when I started opening up the box.

Wine Tasting in Avellino

Today we went wine tasting with Aldo today in Avellino! The tour started at base and headed up the mountains towards Avellino. They made a stop at a rest area for café! My favorite!  It didn't take too long to get up to the winery. The name was Colli Di Castelfranci. Castlefranci is a small village in the heart of Irpinia which is in the Province of Avellino. This logo on the wall their son created. He seemed pretty young and was the one who has started to take over production of the place. Grandpa and dad still lived there and worked but the son did most of it.  The winery is very organic and they try to use all natural everything when they can. They even reuse willow tree branches and things like that for ways to hold up the vines or to tie things together instead of using plastic or metal objects. Aldo is holding some dried branches that when you soak in water they become soft enough to tie into a knot. Inside is where they store the wine in huge

Capri

It was such an early morning this morning! I'm used to waking up early every day but usually I get to go back to sleep after Kyle leaves for work. This time we both had to get up and leave because we were going to Capri! The second we saw who our tour guide was I got so excited because it was Aldo from Pompeii!! We knew then that it would be a good trip and well worth it! First we took a bus down to the docks where Aldo worked it out for us to board an hour early so we got an extra hour on the island. Nice! We got on a catamaran called SNAV that reminded me of the Catalina Flyer. The boat ride to Capri from the bay of Naples is about 50 minutes, I think. I actually wouldn't know because I slept the whole ride over. Capri seriously is the Catalina of Italy. It's really pretty and they have a main tourist harbor where everything is then residential on the back side. We went on this tour once we got there that took us to the Blue Grotto. You took this motorboat o
