italy vlog 🇮🇹 3 days in positano, capri boat tour, lemon pasta ¦ amalfi coast travel

We have had the most eventful airport drama I've ever had in my life. We were going to go to Naples through Philadelphia, except there was a huge storm. So our flight got cancelled to Philadelphia, and nothing is flying out of LaGuardia to Philadelphia any time today, or from JFK to Philadelphia any time today. I was able to ask the agent if they could book us from JFK to Rome, arriving at Rome tomorrow afternoon. They were able to do that, and so we are currently waiting for our bag that was on our original plane to come out at the baggage claim. They said that there's like 500 bags that are getting delayed through this process right now from all the planes that were cancelled, and so it could take up to an hour. Hopefully we don't have to wait too long and can start heading over to JFK soon, but once we are in Rome, if we make it there tomorrow in one piece with our baggage, we're going to have to get trained at Naples, which is like an hour, an hour and a half away, and then I'm just fingers crossed we make this dinner reservation that I worked really hard to get, and kind of what I was really looking forward to in Positano, which is our first stop of the trip. Very eventful day. I'm going to have good looks on this flight if we make it. Okay, while we wait for my luggage to come, let me take a moment to introduce you all to the best travel hack that everybody needs to know about for international travel. So clearly, things can go wrong when you're traveling, but Airlo makes it so that you at least never have to worry about international phone data while abroad. Airlo is the world's first eSIM store that provides super affordable digital SIM cards and is trusted by over 10 million travelers worldwide. Everything is 100% digital and downloaded through the app so that you can easily opt into a plan from the comfort of your home and have full use of your phone from the moment you land. Airlo offers plans in over 200 countries and regions. Getting connected is as easy as choosing a country, finding the right plan for you in terms of length and amount of coverage, and installing the eSIM, which Airlo provides super easy to follow instructions for that are tailored to your personal device type. And once you land, you just toggle the eSIM on. The process couldn't be any simpler. So download the Airlo app right now so that you don't forget to use it for your next international trip. I used to travel using expensive data plans from my phone carrier that cost $10 a day, which can add up to quite a bit over long trips such as this one. I found Airlo right before my Japan trip last year and it worked perfectly for the entire month I was abroad, which is why I knew I had to use it for Italy as well. For just $10 in total, I have access to coverage throughout Italy for up to 30 days and 3 gigabytes, which will come in so handy as I'm navigating my way around the Amalfi Coast, searching up fun facts about the Chevy Fountain, or Googling the best gelato near me. Airlo is seriously one of the best travel hacks I've ever found, which is why I am super excited to be sharing a discount code with you all. Download the Airlo app, use the code ALISONU3 for $3 off of your data plan and be a happy, well-connected traveler. Thank you so much Airlo for sponsoring this video and now let's get back to finding my bags and catching this flight. Okay, not too bad. Waited for like 15 minutes. I'm so grateful. Now we are on our way to JFK. We are finally boarding a new flight. Oh my gosh. We boarded last night too. Can't speak too soon. Oh, which way? Okay. We have made it to Positano after two trains and a 1.5 hour car ride. We are now climbing the stairs to our bed and breakfast, which is above kind of overlooking the rest of Positano. There's like some 300 stairs to climb up and we are in a hustle to make our 7pm dinner reservation. I'm going to be so sad if we don't make it because we tried so hard I'm going to put the phone down and climb the stairs. How are we doing? More? He's scratching himself on the back. He's so cute. I feel so tired right now but this view is giving me life and it's breakfast. Good morning everyone. It is our first full day in Positano and we are taking a boat tour today. So actually not spending the majority of the day in Positano. We're going on a tour to Capri which is I think just like an hour or so, a few hours boat ride away. I'm so excited because I've heard that a boat tour is the top thing you have to do while you're in Positano or on the Amalfi Coast. It is a gorgeous day outside today. You can hear the birds chirping. Currently on a 45 minute morning stroll down to the main beach where our boat is departing. We just docked in Capri and we have like three and a half hours here. Gonna maybe grab a bite to eat, walk around. I want some gelato. But how beautiful. I always choose the restaurants at the top of the hill. Should have checked the location. Might be the best closet I got sunburnt you guys. Silly me. We were like running out the door this morning and we didn't have time to put on sunscreen and I thought I could get away with it now that we're gonna go buy some sunscreen. Every single street is so beautiful here. My hair is a disaster. We got off the bus. We got on the bus today on the way home so we didn't have to walk up thousands of stairs like yesterday. It was such a fun day. Capri was great and we also met so many really cool people who were on the same small group as us. I think it was 12 of us on a boat ride and I actually think all of us came from America. We actually met a really cool other couple and got chatting so we might go meet up with them for drinks or dinner tomorrow so that would be fun. On the way to our dinner reservation now. The church bells are ringing. It's currently a church holiday and our Airbnb is kind of overlooking this major church in town so we have these lovely bells to accompany us on our walk. I did a quick change because I was so grimy from our day out. So I did a quick body shower and then I changed into this beautiful dress from Restaurant Runway. I've actually worked up an appetite from our day out. I feel like I'm always stuffed on vacation because I'm constantly eating and drinking but there's so much walking so far in Positano that I'm actually quite hungry so I'm really looking forward to dinner. Everything here tastes so crap. It is our last full day in Positano before we head to a different part of the Amalfi Coast tomorrow. Today is our kind of like chill catch up on work, not much scheduled day which honestly after our flight mayhem and just a full day out yesterday is perfect. We're going to chill in our beautiful bed and breakfast, spend a nice morning and afternoon working out on the terrace before actually meeting the friends we met yesterday for drinks. I want to show you guys our hotel room has like this beautiful balcony with a mosquito net here. Let's see. We were having breakfast down there and we're going to do our work there in a few minutes. And there's Horace. For a bit of context, we're staying in a bed and breakfast that is tucked like really really far up the hill from downtown Positano and essentially I had booked this place because I had booked the entire trip pretty last minute, like a month and a half out and it's peak season in Positano and all of the hotels downtown were a super expensive and be pretty much all booked out. And so this place is a little bit harder to get to which is why I think it still had availability. The hosts are the loveliest couple. Truly have enjoyed talking to them and getting to know them so much over the past couple of days here. This is their family home and they live here and they basically just host guests during peak season. We're talking to our hosts and they said that the past couple summers they've actually had the entire place booked out and were hosting like 8 to 10 rooms at a time and it was just way too much because it's just the two of them running this entire place. And as you can tell from kind of the breakfast and everything, they do like a really attentive service and it's like a very beautiful experience. So this summer they decided to keep it small and just host one guest or one room at a time. So yeah, that's why James and I are the only guests in this place right now which I feel so grateful for. It's like so nice and peaceful and quiet. Gonna go back downstairs now and spend hopefully a very productive morning getting through some work before heading out for the afternoon and eat. We're heading out in 5 minutes for drinks and then heading to dinner after that. This is the outfit of the day finally changing at like 4pm. I am so sunburnt. Oh my gosh, like my shoulders like the back of both of my shoulders is where the worst of it is. I'm trying to cover it up but even my entire neck and chest area is so burnt. So hopefully this heals semi quickly but pain isn't too bad right now. This dress luckily covers kind of like a lot of the areas that are most sunburnt and it is a super super cute one that I first rented off of Rent the Runway and then I loved it so much that I bought it and it's from Love Shack Fancy and I felt like it was perfect for European summer. Alright, let's head out. Just finished drinks. Had the absolute best time chatting. We are on our way to dinner now. Just a couple minutes late because we were having too good of a time but last dinner in this beautiful beautiful beautiful place.
