wow - what a horse race of a tail. Really... Funny story for sure. That definitely looks and feels like a vacation. Shopping... ah I miss that! (I want to shop in california again)
Capri seems to be neverending fun. Where should one go instead, then?
Sounds like a great trip. Can you compare it to anywhere in the US?
BTW I can no longer post comments on non beta blogger accounts. I am told these features are coming soon.

Tobias - I'm not saying not to go to Capri. I'm just saying that we've been there a couple of times, and we probably won't go there next year when we return to Amalfi. There are a lot of nice little towns just a boatride away from Amalfi - Positano, Sorrento, Salerno, etc.
TMS - Mrs. TBF says that Hawai'i is the only thing that comes close, but she like the Amalfi Coast better.
