I'm off for more Limoncello...
I haven't posted much recently due to flood cleanup/repair after the huge flood in Upstate NY in June, starting a new job in July, packing/moving after finding another place to live (the house I was buying was pretty much destroyed by the flood as well, so I had to start over with searching). I still have tons of unpacking to do, but I HAVE made time to book another trip to Rome over Christmas. You have to keep your priorities straight, right?
I don't get any vacation 'til next July, but we do get the week off between Christmas & New Year's, so had to take advantage of that. I can't wait!

Hi Susan,
Sound like life is moving right along in a very positive way for you! Sorry to hear about the extra grief due to flooding. What a mess!
You are turning into quite the Roma traveler, you lucky person. Have a gellato for me and have a lovely Christmas. What a fun time to be there.
Buon viaggio!

I will be happy to have a Limoncello for everyone!
swissgirl, to get the good stuff, you need to check the ingredients. Some have extra additives. You just want alcohol, sugar and lemon.

I found a good bottle of Limoncello at Trader Joe's, if you have one by you. Tasty stuff!! Of course, I would much rather drink one in Rome than here at home so I just have to pretend.
My DD is going for 2 weeks w/ her high school choir to Italy and Greece in June "07 and I am so jealous. Maybe she'll drink one for me and bring some back

Susan, when I saw the post title I knew it was you I am so excited for you to return to Roma! After my recent trip I returned with a love for limoncello myself, such good stuff... I was told by Carmella from Villa La Tartana in Positano, where I stayed, that Giardino di Ravello is one of the best but I couldn't find it when I was there. Maybe you can keep your eyes open for that one.
Keep us posted on your travel plans.

Hi Jen, I will definitely look for that one! I always have to bring a bottle back, as it's much more expensive here. I will have an apartment right by Piazza Navona, so it's a great location. Too bad you won't be in Rome at that time, it would be fun to meet again for dinner.
