For People Who Like to Look at Pictures from Other People's Vacations
We know -- most people would rather watch paint dry. But given Andrea and Bill's "Where's Scott" contest, we figured we'd share some pics from our recent journeys.
Cathy and I were married last April, but a series of personal catastrophes -- and I don't use the word lightly -- forced us to delay the honeymoon for a full year. The trip was 16 days in the U.K. and Italy, with visits to London, Rome, Sorrento and Positano. In Rome, we stood among the throngs at St. Peter's on Easter Sunday. In Positano, we overlooked the bay from the Hotel Marincanto, which is built into the cliffs; even the jacuzzi hung over the shore below.
All in all, a dream honeymoon -- even though Cathy did have to spend one night in an Italian hospital with food poisoning. (Watch out for the pepperoni.)
Thanks to fellow PR blogger Mason Cole for some great travel tips. And of course, thanks again to guest bloggers Andrea and Bill, who saved the day for me after Cathy forbade me to bring my trusty HP Pavilion zd8000 on the trip.
Now ... if you actually do like to look at pictures from other people's vacations, you can view them here.

Beats my NY Auto Show pics from last week.
;-p
Looks like you had fun, but will Italy be the same ever again?
Curious, how's the hoopla over the Da Vinci Code over there? As big a deal as portrayed here in the media?

Da Vinci Code was getting a lot of coverage...plus, saw ads on buses, and one shopkeeper was reading it intently behind his counter. I think I heard Opus Dei was hiring a PR firm or something as well...

See, I was right about one thing, you were fobade to bring your laptop. By the way, I am about to get a laptop, any recommendations. Isn't the 8000 series pretty heavy?

Kami,
Yes, it's very heavy -- it's a desktop replacement laptop. But mine usually stays put in the office, so that's not a big issue for me. I used CNet and Consumer Reports, among other sites, to help find the one I wanted. Good luck!

Welcome back, Scott. Glad you had a nice rain-delayed honeymoon and glad you're back. That Andrea person was a pretty good fill-in, but that Bill cat reeked to high heaven. ;-)

Yep, that's why Bill was in charge of fertilizer.
