Anthony Bourdain's FAN-atic special
Hi everybody,
I realize that this is shameless self-promotion, but I know there are a lot of Italophiles on this site and so I figure I'd post it anyway.
I entered Anthony Bourdain's FAN-atic special contest. If you win, you take your proposed trip with Anthony Bourdain himself. I proposed a trip to Naples because I don't want it to be forgotten because of the recent problems it has had.
If you like Anthony Bourdain and you want to see him go to Italy for an episode, go check it out. I've been notified by the Travel Channel that I am in the top 20, but I'm sure more views and votes wouldn't hurt. (Viewing is no commitment; voting requires registration and then clicking on the stars below the video.)
Anyway, thanks for your time. Here is the link:

I just watched and LOVED your presentation!(As a retired middle school teacher, I loved your visuals!) Need to go back and register and vote. I would dearly love to watch you and Tony go to Napoli. One suggestion: many people log on at work so i suggest you make sure this gets topped and/or re-posted often on MOnday! Good luck!

Congrats nnolen-- great video. "That's my dog" made me laugh.
I hope you make it! I'd love to see that show---I went to Naples solo a few years back and I have to say that my experience was less than stellar mostly because I went there clueless as to all of the best places to see. I checked into a 1/2 star hotel that I only found out later was sandwiched between two brothels near the train station. Interesting times...
Do you teach Italian?

Nope, I teach English as a Second Language to middle school students. My college major was Italian, though.
The description of the hotel near the train station is great - that's sort of what a good portion of that area is like, but I still love it!
Thanks for the comments.

Nicole, you are adorable and have my vote as well.
I mostly agree with Grassshopper but I think Anthony would feel more lucky than ucky to have you take him to Napoli.
If your dog wasn't a prop it was a great addition.
Good luck!

Loved it! I am also an ESL teacher (college level) and so also appreciated those clear, low-tech visual aids. I'm voting for you; you would be so much fun to travel with.
Had to laugh at the Vesuvius/safety comment...but don't forget Anthony's show where he wheezed his way to the top of some mountain somewhere. Be gentle with him!

Hi tuscan,
To vote, you just click on the stars under the video. Thanks so much for even looking!
Actually, the low-tech visual aids have nothing to do with my ESL background - I just really can't draw!!
And the dog was not a prop, she just has extremely inappropriate timing.
