This week, I pulled my husband in to do a full recap of our family trip to Italy at the end of May. We were there for 15 days with our two kids (17 and 19 at the time), and honestly, a month later I'd hop on a plane back in a heartbeat. We cover everything: how we planned it, how we paid for it, what we'd do differently, and the real, unfiltered truth about what it's like to travel as a family of four for two weeks straight. In this episode, we talk about: How we used credit card points to cover four flights and how we scored a last-minute premium cabin upgrade for all of us for about $3,000 The difference between staying in hotels vs. Airbnbs, and why Airbnbs won for us every time Why we'd skip the Amalfi next time (controversial, I know) and where we wish we'd spent more days The hidden charges at Italian restaurants that caught us off guard  How we average 20,000–30,000 steps a day and why getting lost on foot is genuinely one of the best travel strategies Why we booked the Colosseum and Vatican three months out Our honest take on Naples  What it means to raise kids who know how to travel    Let's dive in!

This week we're talking about the best-known mountaintop town on the Amalfi Coast, Ravello. Situated above the sea with no beach access, this town offers stunning views over the sea, cooler breezes in summertime heat, and a bit of an escape from the crowds in Amalfi and Positano. The only ways to get to Ravello are by bus, car, or footpath from Atrani, the town below on the sea. Sita Sud is the public bus operator on the Amalfi Coast. In this episode we mentioned the restaurant we ate at and really enjoyed, it's called Ristorante Vittoria. The pizza restaurant that looked good, but where we weren't able to get a reservation is called Da Nonno Alfonso.

From wandering the colorfully tiled streets to shopping for ceramics and going to the beach, in this episode we'll tell you all there is to do in Vietri Sul Mare and how to get there, plus getting around! Vietri Sul Mare is easily reachable by bus and ferry. There is also a train station which is being repaired and not functional as of June 2026, however a bus route is running in its place. Below are links to bus and ferry providers to and from Salerno and the Amalfi Coast. From Salerno by bus: - Vietri Sul Mare is reachable by city bus from Salerno, the city bus is run by Bus Italia you can get tickets in a Tabacchi (tobacco shop) in Salerno. - You can also take Sita Sud bus (which will get you to towns on the Amalfi Coast as well) but this bus tends to be more crowded than the city bus. From the Amalfi Coast by bus:Sita Sud operates the buses from Positano, Amalfi, and other towns along the Amalfi Coast to Vietri Sul Mare.From the Amalfi Coast and Salerno by ferry: To get to Vietri Sul Mare, Travel Mar operates the ferries from Salerno as well as towns on the Amalfi Coast like Positano and Amalfi.For day trips to Raito, Dragonea, and other nearby towns, check out Bus Italia, you can get tickets for this city bus at a local Tabacchi as well. In general, the city buses (run by Bus Italia) that you might use are bus number 1 (written as 001 on Google Maps), 4 (written as 004 on Google Maps), and 9 (likewise written as 009 on Google Maps). These are the main buses that go from Salerno to Vietri, and vice versa. Each of them terminate in a different town, so if you're wanting a bit of adventure, simply stay on board!

Here's the thing nobody tells you before you go to the Amalfi Coast is it requires understanding of what you actually want from the experience before you go. Because the version you've seen on Instagram and the reality of being there are two very different things. We spent several days exploring the coast and made a choice that ended up defining our entire trip. Instead of staying in Positano or Sorrento like most people think they want to, we based ourselves in Atrani, a tiny town just around the corner from Amalfi that most people walk right past. And honestly, it changed everything. In this episode, we're getting into the real Amalfi Coast. The ferry logistics, the stairs, the beaches, the transportation. The smaller towns that might actually be a better fit than the famous names on every highlight reel. And what we'd do again without hesitation. If the Amalfi Coast is on your list, this episode is one you don't want to miss. Some links are affiliate links. See our disclosure.

the Amalfi-coast, casting a warm glow on the colorful cliffs.Da: Havet glimtede klart og blåligt, mens duften af citronblomster fyldte luften.En: The sea glittered clear and blue, while the scent of lemon blossoms filled the air.Da: Soren stod på en smal sti, der snoede sig langs kysten, og ventede på Astrid.En: Soren stood on a narrow path that wound along the coast, waiting for Astrid.Da: Hans hjerte bankede hurtigt.En: His heart was pounding quickly.Da: Dette var øjeblikket, han havde ventet på.En: This was the moment he had been waiting for.Da: Astrid kom gående mod ham, hendes krøllede hår glimtede i solens stråler.En: Astrid walked toward him, her curly hair glistening in the sun's rays.Da: Hun havde en nervøsitet i øjnene, som Soren misforstod som glæde ved gensynet.En: There was a nervousness in her eyes, which Soren misunderstood as joy at the reunion.Da: Men inde i hende brændte hemmeligheden, som hun bar på.En: But inside her burned the secret she carried.Da: Hun var nødt til at fortælle ham det, men hvordan?En: She needed to tell him, but how?Da: Soren smilede, da hun nåede frem til ham, og tog hendes hænder i sine.En: Soren smiled as she reached him, and took her hands in his.Da: "Dette sted er fantastisk, Astrid," sagde han og pegede ud mod horisonten, hvor solen snart skulle gå ned.En: "This place is amazing, Astrid," he said, pointing out toward the horizon, where the sun would soon set.Da: "Jeg har tænkt meget over os."En: "I've been thinking a lot about us."Da: Astrid nikkede, men kunne ikke lade være med at se væk.En: Astrid nodded but couldn't help looking away.Da: Hjertet tungt af det, hun måtte dele.En: Her heart was heavy with what she needed to share.Da: Hendes seneste rejse som journalist havde ført hende til noget uventet.En:

continuing.Da: "Jeg var nødt til at fortælle dig noget.En: "I had to tell you something.Da: På mit sidste projekt fandt jeg... noget.En: On my last project, I found... something.Da: Noget der kan påvirke os."En: Something that could affect us."Da: Soren så undrende op på hende, hans hjerte begyndte at slå hurtigere nu.En: Soren looked up at her in wonder, his heart beginning to beat faster now.Da: "Hvad mener du?"En: "What do you mean?"Da: "Jeg opdagede noget om en bygning i København," hun fortsatte.En: "I discovered something about a building in Copenhagen," she continued.Da: "Den har en defekt, som din tidligere partner designede."En: "It has a defect that your previous partner designed."Da: Hun tøvede, men pressede videre.En: She hesitated but pushed on.Da: "Investorerne ved det ikke, og jeg skal offentliggøre det.En: "The investors don't know, and I need to make it public.Da: Jeg kan ikke holde det skjult."En: I can't keep it hidden."Da: Soren rejste sig langsomt op, hans sind en storm af tanker.En: Soren slowly stood up, his mind a storm of thoughts.Da: "Astrid, hvorfor fortalte du mig det ikke før?"En: "Astrid, why didn't you tell me before?"Da: spurgte han, skuffelsen i hans øjne.En: he asked, the disappointment in his eyes.Da: Astrid tog hans hænder igen.En: Astrid took his hands again.Da: "Jeg var bange for at skade dig, at miste dig.En: "I was afraid of hurting you, of losing you.Da: Men jeg vil heller ikke holde hemmeligheder."En: But I also won't keep secrets."Da: De stod dér i stilhed, kun brudt af bølgernes blide hvisken.En: They stood there in silence, only broken by the gentle whispering of the waves.Da: Så, efter hvad der føltes som en evighed, trak Soren hende ind til sig i en varm omfavnelse.En: Then, after what felt like an eternity, Soren pulled her into a warm embrace.Da: "Tak fordi du talte sandt," hviskede han.En: "Thank you for speaking the truth," he whispered.Da: Astrid åndede lettet op.En: Astrid breathed a sigh of relief.Da: "Kan vi komme igennem det her sammen?"En: "Can we get through this together?"Da: Hun kiggede op på ham.En: She looked up at him.Da: Soren nikkede, hans hjerte roligere nu.En: Soren nodded, his heart calmer now.Da: "Ja, vi vil finde en vej."En: "Yes, we will find a way."Da: Idet solen gik ned over Amalfi-kysten, stod parret tæt sammen med en ny forståelse af hinanden.En: As the sun set over the Amalfi-coast, the couple stood close together with a new understanding of each other.Da: De valgte ærlighed og tillid – fundamentet for deres fremtid.En: They chose honesty and trust—the foundation for their future.Da: Ingen kendte den præcise vej forude, men de ville gå den sammen.En: No one knew the exact path ahead, but they would walk it together.

The hardest part of becoming a plastic surgeon isn't always the operating room, it's building a career that still feels like yours once training ends. We sit down with Drs. Ashley Amalfi and Smita Ramanadham  to talk candidly about early career plastic surgery, why both started in academic medicine, and what ultimately pushed them toward private practice. We get specific about the decision points that don't show up in residency: board case collection, the underrated value of colleague support, and the real-world friction that can come with red tape, weak mentorship, and misaligned RVU compensation. Dr. Amalfi shares how a group practice model can create freedom through shared resources and reliable partners. Dr. Ramanadham breaks down the solo private practice reality, from HR and operations to the discipline of not discounting and instead building a boutique patient experience that matches your brand. We also dig into plastic surgery marketing and branding, including why social media matters for modern aesthetic patients, how to stay authentic and professional, and what a thoughtful consent process looks like. From private equity trends to the idea that it's okay to change your mind after your first job, the big takeaway is simple: your practice model should fit your priorities, your personality, and your life outside surgery

Notes from James:I wish I had been Kolin Jones when I was 18 years old.When Colin was 19, during COVID, he set up his own private jet brokerage out of a college dorm room. No investors. No jets. No connections. Just a GoDaddy website, an email address, and an obsessive willingness to send 2,500 cold emails a day.Amalfi Jets is on track to do $120 million in revenue this year. And he still doesn't own a single plane.I love how he thought about competition. He literally calculated: my competitor sends 400 emails a day, I'll send 2,500 — that means I'm doing six of his days in one of mine. Do that for a month and I'm four months ahead. That was the whole strategy at the start. Beautiful.And then TikTok changed everything. One video about a client who chartered two jets — one for his wife, one for his mistress — got a million views. 150,000 people hit their website. 15,000 flight requests in a single day. The entire trajectory of the company shifted because of a free video.He also talked about losing money on purpose on his first sale — selling a $24,500 flight for $20,000 to lock in loyalty. Pure Amazon thinking. I love that.And there's a story about a client stranded on the Galapagos Islands whose plane broke down. The client's assistant asked about bribing customs officials. Listen for how Kolin handled it.This is a great template if you're an entrepreneur, a creative, or anyone trying to build something from nothing. Please listen.Episode description:Kolin Jones was 19 years old, in his college dorm during COVID, when he noticed something: commercial flights were grounded, but private jets were surging. He got his pilot's license at Van Nuys Airport — the busiest private jet airport in the world — and launched Amalfi Jets with nothing more than a website, a cold email strategy, and a plan to out-hustle every competitor through sheer volume.James and Kolin break down exactly how the private jet charter brokerage model works, why you can legally set one up today with zero certification or licensing, why Amalfi turns down roughly $1M/week in deals over safety concerns, and what separates a legitimate broker from the hundreds of unregulated players flooding the market. They also get into the social media strategy that transformed the company — why Kolin was initially against TikTok, what changed his mind, and how one viral video created 15,000 flight requests in a day.Plus: what it actually costs to own a private jet, the real economics of flying private vs. first class, why the richest clients show up in jeans and an Uber, what happens when a client punches the pilot mid-flight, and the watch Kolin bought himself the first month Amalfi crossed $2M in revenue.What you'll learnHow a private jet charter brokerage works — and why it requires zero licensing or certification to startThe cold email strategy Kolin used to out-hustle every competitor from his college dormWhy Kolin intentionally lost money on his first few sales — and why it paid offThe real cost of owning a private jet (it's about $800K/year just to park it)Why Amalfi turns down ~$1M/week in business due to safety and legal concernsHow one TikTok about a client's mistress generated 150,000 website visitors and 15,000 flight requests in a single dayWhy Kolin tracks which shirt color makes his videos go more viral (black = +36%)When flying private is actually cheaper than first class — and the math behind itThe Galapagos breakdown story: a stranded client, a broken jet, and a customs bribe requestWhat ultra-high-net-worth clients actually look like vs. the Instagram versionKolin's plans for Amalfi: acquisitions, possible PE partnership, and why he won't go publicTimestamps:00:00 Why flying private ruins you for commercial forever06:00 What Amalfi Jets actually is — and how the charter brokerage model works09:00 The real cost of owning a private jet13:00 The wild west of jet brokerage — zero regulation, zero licensing required16:00 The Galapagos story: broken jet, stranded client, and a near-bribe20:00 Colin's origin story: COVID, flight school, and cold emailing 2,500 people a day26:30 The first sale: losing $4,000 on purpose and the Amazon strategy that built loyalty30:00 How one TikTok about a mistress changed everything36:00Inside Amalfi's content machine — and the clients who punch pilots41:00 When private is actually cheaper than first class — the real math46:00 The tech behind Amalfi: AI fleet optimization, 72K-member app, and social listening50:00 Burying competitors with relevance — and what's next for Amalfi57:00 The first splurge: an Omega Seamaster and what it representsAdditional Resources:Amalfi JetsKolin's InstagramKolin on TikTokAmalfi Jets on TikTokSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Sulla sua tomba ha chiesto che venga scritto: “Rugbista e onesto lavoratore del cinema”, ma, dice, «soprattutto rugbista». In questa intervista con Malcom Pagani, Nicola Giuliano racconta l'infanzia a Napoli in una famiglia «totalmente medio borghese», dove cresce tra studio e sport. Poi il cinema: le estati ad Amalfi passate «a vedere due film al giorno», la nascita di Indigo Film e l'incontro decisivo con Paolo Sorrentino, con cui costruisce negli anni un sodalizio creativo che lo porterà fino all'Oscar per La grande bellezza, ma anche una grande amicizia, con quel gesto pubblico di Sorrentino che, salito sul palco del Festival del Cinema di Venezia per ritirare un premio, lo ringrazia chiamandolo «il suo più caro amico». Giuliano parla anche di conflitto, ricorda una «discussione furibonda» in montaggio con Sorrentino e gli scontri «meravigliosi» con Antonio Capuano: perché il cinema, per lui, nasce dal dialogo e dalla libertà.

"Potrebbe essere un inganno."En: "Lucia, this doesn't seem real," says Alberto, hesitating as they walk. "It could be a trick."It: Ma Lucia, con la luce della curiosità nei suoi occhi azzurri, scuote la testa. "Dobbiamo scoprire la verità, Alberto.

"Hai ragione, Lucia. La storia è preziosa quanto l'oro."En: As they walk away, Alberto smiles, finally admitting, "You're right, Lucia. The story is as precious as gold."It: E così, con una nuova comprensione e un tesoro che aveva più peso di quanto avrebbero mai immaginato, tornano lungo i sentieri costieri, con il mare che sussurra alle loro spalle un canto antico e rassicurante.En: And so, with a new understanding and a treasure that carried more weight than they could have ever imagined, they return along the coastal paths, with the sea whispering an ancient and reassuring song behind them.

Észrevette, hogy Bálint erőlködve lépkedett a kavicsos úton.En: Levente, who lived in the neighboring villa, and was a good friend of Bálint's, noticed that Bálint was struggling along the gravel path.Hu: "Segíthetek?" kérdezte barátságosan, miközben Jázmin aggódva nézte a jelenetet.En: "Can I help you?" he asked kindly, while Jázmin watched the scene with concern.Hu: "Bírom, köszönöm, Levente," válaszolta Bálint, viszont a hangjában ott bujkált a fáradtság.En: "I can manage, thank you, Levente," Bálint replied, though there was a hint of fatigue in his voice.Hu: Tovább ment, bár kövébbről érezte, hogy túl messzire távolodott.En: He continued on, but soon felt that he had gone too far.Hu: Hirtelen megállt, a teste nehezedett, szíve gyorsan dobogott.En: Suddenly he stopped, his body felt heavy, and his heart raced.Hu: Vajon mi fontosabb, a munka vagy egészség?En: Which was more important, work or health?Hu: Úgy tűnt, a választások eltűntek a karácsonyi levegőben.En: It seemed the choices had vanished into the Christmas air.Hu: Jázmin aggódva rohant felé, segítve megtartani a lépéseit.En: Jázmin hurried towards him, helping to steady his steps.Hu: "Elég, Bálint bácsi," mondta gyengéden, "az élet több is lehet, mint munka."En: "That's enough, Uncle Bálint," she said gently, "life can be more than just work."Hu: Ebben a pillanatban Bálint belátta, hogy ideje változtatnia.En: In that moment, Bálint realized it was time to change.Hu: Miért sietne, ha itt az ideje élvezni az élet apró örömeit?En: Why rush when it was time to enjoy the small joys of life?Hu: A szeretett emberek közelsége, ezek a pillanatok sokkal értékesebbek lettek.En: The closeness of loved ones, these moments became much more valuable.Hu: Aznap este, mikor a karácsonyi fények gyöngyház fénybe burkolták a falut, Bálint egy új fogadalmat tett.En: That evening, as the Christmas lights enveloped the village in a pearly glow, Bálint made a new resolution.Hu: Több időt tölt a családdal, és lassabban éli az életét.En: He would spend more time with family and live his life more slowly.Hu: Levente meglátogatta őket, hozott meleg gesztenyét, amit együtt fogyasztottak el a tűz mellett.En: Levente visited them, bringing warm chestnuts, which they consumed together by the fire.Hu: "Köszönöm, Jázmin," Bálint halkan mondta, miközben Levente mesélt a régi időkről.En: "Thank you, Jázmin," Bálint said softly while Levente spoke of the old times.Hu: Ez az ünnep most mást jelentett.En: This holiday now meant something different.Hu: Boldogságot, békét és a család fontosságát.En: Happiness, peace, and the importance of family.Hu: Az Amalfi-part így nemcsak a tenger, hanem a szív gyógyulását is hozta ezen a karácsonyon.En: The Amalfi-part thus brought not only the healing of the sea, but also the healing of the heart this Christmas.Hu: Bálint lassan, de biztosan új élethez kezdett, tele szeretettel és egészséggel.En: Bálint slowly but surely began a new life filled with love and health.

Latch your steamer trunk and press your travel slacks, as Trixie and Katya summon you for a grand tour through the jeweled harbors of RuPaul's Drag Race Season 7, Episodes 9 and 10. Like discerning aesthetes adrift upon the sapphire sea, they linger in reverie over the operatic revels of the Divine Comedy challenge, then recline in first-class velvet banquettes to consider, with equal parts mirth and melancholy, the metamorphic splendor of the makeover episode. Their discourse gleams with the intricacy of freshly-blown Murano glass, refracting triumphs radiant as a Tuscan dawn and humiliations heavy as an Amalfi dusk. Let your eyes and ears wander as their recollections drift like perfumed zephyrs along the cliffs of the Cinque Terre. Sit back, relax, and let their reminiscences unfold as an intoxicating odyssey stitched from myth, memory, and the gilded embroidery of glamour.
