ROTFLMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mari, if I had knows I would have taken care of your bag  Honestly, Alitalia are the worst luggage wise, always have been. When I used to study in Malta there were direct flights from Moscow once a week but if I had to leave on another day, I flew Alitalia through Milan...I did it three times and all three my luggage was lost  Since then I always try to avoid flying Alitalia if I am not travelling direct to the destination...too much hassle and nerves LOL Glad you had fun otherwise Mari.... Italia e bella ;D ;D ;D I love it love it love it. I think I was Italian in previous life  |

I'm totally agree with you Annie, Alitalia it's the worst and the girls who work at the lost bag desk!!! are disagreeable, when I went to claim my bag, I was changed the hotel just a few minutes before I arrived to the airport, and this girl shout me because I wasn't at the other hotel!!! Anyway, the other days at Italy was amazing, I went from Naples to Geneve, then Milan, Trento and finally Rome.... And I also went one day to Capri and Pompei...  ;D I'm a history fanatic, so when I saw the Coliseum, the Sistine Chapel, well everything I felt so happy to be able to see all that!!.......an incredible experience..... Some pics from my trip!!!!!    I love the next pic, I tooked at the Piazza d' Popolo  |

I have been to Dubai a number of times. UAE has always been one of the "value for money" destinations here in Russia plus the shopping is absolutely amazing, so everyone loves going there. First time I went to Dubai was back in 1994, we stayed in the city itself and it was actually quite fun especially considering that at that time we, Russians, were just starting to travel abroad Then I had a chance to go visit a number of times on business trips and last time I was in UAE on holidays was back in 2001. But we went to Karfakan, which is on the other side and situated on the Indian Ocean not the Persian Gulf. A pleasant relaxing place for swimming and vegging out. Love15 it's quite a nice place to visit. Some interesting attractions like safari in a desert or Dubai aquapark and beautiful skyscrapers and the shopping malls are  I think if you have never been, it could be quite a different and interesting experience ;D |

[glow=red,2,300]The adventures of the infernal not twins[/glow] Part 1 : The infernal not twins in TouraineThe cast : Emma aka gps or the queen of translation Yse aka the crazy driver  Car aka Wild Kermit  Thursday May 10th, The meeting is set up for early in the morning. We are gonna be playing the tourists in Touraine. Our mission, visit Azay-le-Rideau and Chenonceau – 2 Châteaux de la Loire. After scraping the bottom of our purses, we’ve decided to make quick invasions and return to base camp at the end of the day. Emma’s report :Yse is supposed to pick me up at 7h…. she’s late and if you know the girl, something serious is going on. Is Kermit having a problem ? Has Yse forgotten to wake up ? After 5 minutes of waiting in the cold morning, I’m seeing Kermit’s nose arriving and Yse is having the eyes of someone who didn’t get enough sleep. Yse’s report :Hard morning, I’m late for the meeting. Me who’s reputation of ALWAYS being early just got ruined. The gps has forgotten to take the map and needs to go back to get it with her eyes barely open. Wild Kermit can’t wait to tread the asphalt. Soundtrack : Snow Patrol’s last album “Eyes open” We arrived around 10h at the Château of Azay-le-Rideau. The weather is beautiful and it’s not too hot. The 2 paparazzi can start shooting and visiting.         Once the visit is over, we take a little walk into town, and to our surprise a squirrel crosses the street right before us and enters a shop. Back to the parking and Kermit…. We hear a rumble…. Is it the car ? Is it the thunder ? We check the sky…. Still blue…. Must be our stomachs. The area is famous for its gastronomy and wine. ;D Due to our limited budget, we head for cheap eating places like Mc Donald, Quick, places like that. On the left of the road, Mc Donald….. on the right Quick….. which one to pick….. Damned, we sopt a Pizza Hut…. Arghhhhhhhhhhhhh.  Wild Kermit is making a right turn and head for the Quick parking. The stomachs are feeling better. Back on the road, we head for Chenonceaux to visit the château. Emma’s report :And there, a huge queue to get to the entrance…. Partly compensated by German peaches right before us. Unfortunately the rest of the body doesn’t match the buttock….. Yse’s report :Argh, a lot of f*****g tourists like us in Chenonceau  ….. short drooling session and we bravely manage to visit the château and it’s gardens throughout the crowd.     Next week we head to Normandie, so see you for the next adventures of the infernal not twins.  |
