daydreaming...

I have writer's block.  And I'm not even a (real) writer, so how's that for irony?  It's been over a week since I've posted and I thought it was because of my poor time management skills, but I realize now that it's because I have (wanna-be-a) writer's block.  (Although my poor time management skills are also an epic reality.)  And so I leave you with two links to two fabulous hotels that I've been daydreaming about since I read my friend Torrie's post about places she'd like to visit. (It was part of her cool and creative Listography series.  Check it here.)  Sparky and I stayed at these hotels when we traveled to Italy on our honeymoon 9 years ago.  A honeymoon that was 17 days of total perfection.

Hotel du Lac in Varenna on Lake Como

{It's the smaller waterfront building on the left. Ask for room 12 which has an amazing balcony where we sipped
many a glass of Chianti.}

Grand Hotel Miramare in Santa Margherita

{On the balcony one evening, we chatted (over many glasses of wine, of course)
with another American couple who'd been coming to the Grand Miramare for 30 years!} 

Maybe when my wanna-be-a-writer's block is over, I'll share more about these amazing places.  Until then, happy weekend!
