Say “Ciao” to the Beautiful Amalfi Coast

Written By Laura Legg

When I was ten years old, I had a calendar hanging in my room that featured some of the most beautiful cities in Italy.  I remember flipping through the pages and dreaming of the day that I could travel to some of these gorgeous places halfway around the world.  While I imagined myself eating gelato in Rome or taking a gondola ride in Venice, the place I most wanted to visit was the island of Capri, Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast.

My Italian dream very nearly became a reality two years ago when we booked our flights and made our plans to take a Mediterranean cruise with our family in June 2020.  So… not the greatest timing!  As the world begins to open up, we have a new date on our calendar and the countdown is on for summer of 2022.

Believe it or not, there have been some benefits to our trip postponement.  First, I have 18 extra months of experience working as a travel advisor.  I have learned so much and have made some wonderful relationships with supplier partners across the country and around the world. I’ve been especially excited to get to know the owners of Sorrento Vibes!  If you’re interested in discovering the most authentic food and hidden gems of any new country, it’s best to get recommendations straight from the locals. The two brothers who started Sorrento Vibes specialize in helping families and couples make memories with the people they love - making them a perfect fit to work with Castaway Destinations clients hoping to visit this beautiful corner of the world.

If you’d like a sneak peek of what we’re planning for next summer, you can check out Sorrento, Amalfi Coast & Capri Island in Five Days.  We started with this itinerary and adjusted it to fit the wants and needs of our family of five.
