Meagan:

Hi everyone. I'm Meagan

Jacquelyn:

And I'm Jacquelyn.

Meagan:

Welcome to Turbulence Expected, where we unpack our trauma for your entertainment.

Jacquelyn:

Think of this like a Friday night on the couch with your new best friends. We're swapping wild travel stories, oversharing life's chaos and laughing our way through the turbulence of real life

Meagan:

And when she says oversharing

Meagan:

I will definitely be oversharing in today's podcast episode.

Jacquelyn:

Yes, we are so excited to have you back listening today to our second podcast. Last time we talked about some of our best and worst travel moments in Paris and also in Florence, and today we're doing best and worst moments of London and Amalfi Coast. So we're really, really excited to share some of our stories

Meagan:

Are we, though, because I don't know if I'm excited about this one.

Jacquelyn:

Yeah, so we're going to start off first today with the story that she's referring to as oversharing is the worst moment in London, and I'll let you start it off.

Meagan:

Well, first of all, Jacquelyn decided to title this podcast.

Meagan:

What did you decide to?

Jacquelyn:

So I titled this Poopapalooza.

Meagan:

Yeah, she titled it Poopapalooza.

Jacquelyn:

That'll give you a little bit of insight into what's coming.

Meagan:

And when we say Poopapalooza no, it's really a Poopapalooza let's just say things got real shitty, real quick.

Jacquelyn:

They got real shitty, real quick for sure. So walk us through this and also give us a little bit of insight as to why a poop-a-palooza may have happened in the first place. Tell us a little bit about the backstory before the story.

Meagan:

Okay, so a couple years ago at this point, I guess, when we went to London it was not long before we went to Europe I got my gallbladder removed, and if you don't know a lot about that, just Google it. I don't want to get into it, but just Google it.

Meagan:

You don't want to get into it, but just Google it.

Jacquelyn:

Don't want to get into the dirty details

Meagan:

No, I really don't.

Meagan:

Well, I'm about to get into the dirty details. So yeah, I got to pick and choose how dirty the details get. But here's the thing if you get your gallbladder out, you kind of have to learn a few new things about your digestive system, because the gallbladder is kind of what helps you store your fat and go to the bathroom and all kinds of fun things.

Jacquelyn:

It helps, like, regulate the fat in our system, so like when you eat a fatty meal, and it will help you to digest those fatty things very slowly. It helps it go slowly.

Meagan:

But if you don't have one, things don't go so slow anymore. Basically, let's say your bowels after gallbladder surgery. They don't negotiate, they betray you at any time. And let me just set the stage here. So me, my mom and Jack, we are in a store called Boots, which is basically as if Sephora and Walgreens had a baby.

Jacquelyn:

It's a great store.

Meagan:

It's really big you know two stories we're having a grand old time, we're loving it, yeah, and then we're upstairs and I'm like, oh, I got to go to the bathroom and I was like you know what, I can wait. We're shopping, we're looking around. Never let it wait.

Jacquelyn:

Never let it wait.

Meagan:

Not post gallbladder surgery, and so, yeah, I was like you know what I got? To go to the bathroom. I'm going gonna go to the bathroom, I'll be back. They're still shopping. Yep, I go ask someone, hey, where's your bathroom? And they're like we don't have a bathroom. I'm like you don't have a bathroom.

Meagan:

This is a huge department store that's when it starts to go downhill. Yeah, this is where it starts to go downhill. So I'm like, okay, I can wait. I mean I don't have a bathroom, it's fine. I gotta, I got a little bit. I did not have a little bit. So I tell, tell my mom and Jacq, I was like, hey, I got to go find a bathroom. I really got to go. I'll meet you guys back here, I'm going to go find one. Yeah, so I go.

Meagan:

And I asked someone at the store like where's your nearest bathroom? And of course it was like, actually kind of far. They're like you take this street and then you go right. I was like, okay, so, and they said it's called It's Sushi. I will never forget It's Sushi. I will never go back to It's Sushi. It will never be the same. So I go over to It's Sushi. And of course, a lot of times in Europe, if you've been before, they want you to buy something or pay to use the bathroom. I just needed the bathroom. I had no time to do anything but get to the bathroom.

Meagan:

So I'm like hauling it and I finally get there and I go downstairs because the bathroom was like kind of near the basement. They always kind of have them in the basement.

Jacquelyn:

Yeah.

Meagan:

So I go downstairs and it has to have a code. I'm like you're kidding me. So I go back upstairs and I'm like, hi, can I get a code? And they're like you have to order something and then we can give you the paper with the code. And I'm like, listen, can I get that now and then sort that out later, because I really got to go to the bathroom.

Meagan:

So that's like first check.

Jacquelyn:

Like I promise I'm not trying to scam you of a bathroom use, You're going to want this too.

Meagan:

Exactly. So that's like the first whole jig. Like I'm speed walking, I look crazy. But when people see me go to the bathroom they're like, oh yeah, we could have told you she was headed to the bathroom. So I get into the bathroom, I'm pulling pants down to go to the bathroom and I realize I already went, yeah, so that was the beginning of the poop-a-palooza. That was the beginning of the poopapalooza. It's the beginning of poopapalooza and, uh, I go to the bathroom and I go to grab toilet paper.

Meagan:

There's no toilet paper I don't get good reception down there, so I'm like trying to call my mom and Jacq to be like I'm at It's sushi. Please bring me some toilet paper. Nothing, no service.

Meagan:

Whenever I pull my pants out, something fell out yep, poopapalooza, poopapalooza and now there was no way to clean it up there's no way.

Meagan:

I was like what do I do here? Yeah, so I go, commando, take off my underwear,

Jacquelyn:

Naturally

Meagan:

Throw them away, sure, yeah, pull my shorts up, as anyone have not wiped, because there's no toilet paper and they there was a like a hand dryer there wasn't even like towels.

Jacquelyn:

Don't you hate it when they're eco-friendly?

Meagan:

Sometimes I hate it I love it

Jacquelyn:

I know, but sometimes you need a nice piece of paper, towel, anything at that point anything.

Meagan:

So the way this was set up, it was single stalls and there were two. I walk out of the bathroom humiliated because I'm like I can't just leave and but I also like really need help because I haven't been able to use toilet paper and

Jacquelyn:

I mean you really are out of options.

Meagan:

I, yeah, I was out of options. Yeah.

Meagan:

This is where the story gets even worse yes

Jacquelyn:

This is my favorite part of the whole story

Meagan:

I walk up this kid with his mom.

Meagan:

When I walk out they're walking in and I go up the stairs and I'm going up and all I hear the kids say is mom, what is that? And I'm just like, get me out of here right now. And so now I'm not hauling it up, I'm walking with like a limp, probably because I'm like I'm sure I need toilet paper. So I call my mom and Jacq and I'm, of course, stressed and I'm like guys, I'm at this place called It's Sushi and I don't have any toilet paper. I just shit my pants, come help me.

Jacquelyn:

I mean it's sushi, it's shitty

Meagan:

It's real shitty and it's sushi, and so anyway, they they come. Yep, they find me some toilet paper.

Jacquelyn:

Yes, fantastic.

Meagan:

And I used that. That was really great yeah. And then Jacq goes to Lululemon to get me a new pair, by the way.

Jacquelyn:

Well, now she's underwearless, right? Yes?

Meagan:

And we're in an area where there's mostly like yeah, it's really nice, it's like Prada, super nice, chanel probably sell underwear.

Jacquelyn:

I mean, who goes to Prada to buy underwear.

Meagan:

Not me, yeah no.

Jacquelyn:

Oh wait, From Prada to Nada.

Meagan:

Oh my gosh Prada, I was definitely Prada to Nada

Jacquelyn:

Or should I say from Nada to Prada

Meagan:

So wrong. So wrong. So Jacq goes to Lululemon and I have the audacity to get so mad that she would buy me underwear from Lululemon. I was like why would you spend $50 on a pair of underwear which it probably wasn't even $50.

Jacquelyn:

I think it was like $28.

Meagan:

But in the moment I was like, but why?

Meagan:

Because at that point I am commando.

Jacquelyn:

So see, in my mind at this point she's the most desperate.

Jacquelyn:

No time at all to be frugal here. This is like you know rubber hits the road, poop hits the fan right.

Jacquelyn:

So like you got to settle

Meagan:

It definitely hit the floor.

Jacquelyn:

But she was certain that she needed a more economical pair of underwear.

Meagan:

Why, why, though? I still look back on that moment and I was like why was I that way?

Meagan:

I must have been a real joy to be around right

Jacquelyn:

I think everything had already like gone wrong.

Jacquelyn:

So I think you thought this situation the worst thing that could happen right now is I spend a lot of money in this situation, so I think you were just over it.

Meagan:

I think so, and also I'm laughing right now we're laughing but, I, was crying at one to my mom, I was like this is just a lot.

Meagan:

I was just really tired too, yeah, and that was like 18,000 steps in already walking around London and and just seeing everything. And then me and the kid saw it all. Yes, but yeah, it was just like one minute you're confidently enjoying London and the next you're scaring little children.

Jacquelyn:

So I can't imagine like, actually like needing to go that bad, finally getting in the bathroom, finding out you already went, not having toilet paper, like not having anything in there, and then the kit.

Meagan:

I mean it's just, it's a lot you know, say boots specifically, whichever one we were at that big two-story one, yeah, psa, please would you please create a loo.

Jacquelyn:

Wasn't it like in Covent Garden? Weren't we in Covent Garden?

Meagan:

I don't think, I don't know. I blocked it out.

Jacquelyn:

I don't know.

Jacquelyn:

We won't tell everyone exactly what sushi we were at for your sake if you ever want to go there.

Jacquelyn:

But we were, you know, somewhere in a really popular area of London.

Meagan:

Honestly, I can't believe I told this story.

Meagan:

I can't believe it.

Meagan:

But it's what happened. It's what happened at it's Sushi.

Jacquelyn:

It's what happened. So I think you can confidently, we can confidently say that is our worst moment of London. Yes, by far.

Meagan:

I had a loo moment.

Jacquelyn:

Yeah, a poop-a-palooza.

Meagan:

In the loo.

Meagan:

In the loo, it's sushi loo

Jacquelyn:

So that is definitely our worst moment. Let's spare your reputation and move on to best moments.

Meagan:

Yeah let's move on to that. We should actually do best moments that don't involve food, because we don't want to go from poop a palooza to food.

Jacquelyn:

Good point. Okay.

Meagan:

Let's start with the trains.

Jacquelyn:

Let's do that.

Meagan:

I mean for me it was the trains,

Jacquelyn:

Absolutely.

Meagan:

I would imagine you probably feel pretty

Jacquelyn:

Hands down.

Jacquelyn:

We got to ride so many trains all the time.

Jacquelyn:

We actually stayed a little outside of London

Meagan:

And where are the Harry Potter fans?

Jacquelyn:

Yes! Oxford is an amazing place. It's a wonderful city. That's a story all of its own, honestly, with negatives.

Meagan:

Oh yeah, we got to share the transportation one.

Jacquelyn:

We'll get there.

Meagan:

But once we were on the train, that was amazing. It felt like we were stepped in Hogwarts. Yeah, it was. It was really cool

Jacquelyn:

It just it's you can feel the history and you can feel like it's just a stunning place. So Oxford was definitely a highlight. Another, like a park in the city, is St James, which is outside of Buckingham palace.

Jacquelyn:

That one was incredible.

Meagan:

Yeah, and the time we went the flowers were blooming everywhere. I've never seen more colorful flowers, I think, in my life.

Jacquelyn:

I think we went in what? July, august? When did we go? I think? Oh, no, no, no, it was August slash September, so the flowers were absolutely stunning and they're probably they probably keep them like that all year round, but it was something about like those summer flowers, that it was just. It was beautiful

Meagan:

Pink and orange and yellow.

Meagan:

It was really stunning.

Jacquelyn:

It was stunning.

Jacquelyn:

It just feels like such a peaceful park.

Jacquelyn:

There's like water areas and areas you can sit

Meagan:

And they set the park up where you can. There's chairs everywhere and there's just all these trees that you can sit under to get shade and have picnics. And people are just really living life in those parks too, you can tell they respect nature and it just it was really cool, it was amazing, so that was definitely a highlight as well.

Jacquelyn:

Another thing is pub culture, which

Meagan:

Oh yeah, pub culture was amazing.

Jacquelyn:

You honestly, you can't beat just walking into a pub and like it's everything you imagine it to be in, like the best way.

Meagan:

Especially if you see the after work crowd because everybody's standing, they actually like open the windows and a lot of them and people are just standing inside and outside.

Meagan:

You can tell it's just very community driven driven there they're just throwing back with a, with a cup of Guinness, and that's what I loved. Guinness was my favorite. It's like cake in a cup. It's so good and it's all about the pour. We're going to tell you some stories on dublin, because we went to dublin. We actually spent what 24 hours in dublin to meet Jacq's family.

Jacquelyn:

That's a whole story too.

Meagan:

But yeah, when we went to Dublin I learned that the pour is different with Guinness and it's all about that pour, yeah, it really makes a difference, but Jacq would drink a lot of ciders.

Meagan:

That was kind of your thing.

Jacquelyn:

Yeah, yeah, I love ciders. I also just I mean any, like I'm a big light beer fan, so but I mean, it's just all is.

Meagan:

We never had a sunday roast

Jacquelyn:

Oh I know, yeah definitely need to do that.

Meagan:

We can move into food now.

Jacquelyn:

Yeah, let's move into food for sure.

Meagan:

I mean, I speak for both of us Dishoom.

Jacquelyn:

Yeah, it was like I know what you're gonna say, Dishoom will change your life.

Jacquelyn:

If there's anything you can do while you're in London, it's go to Dishoom that's the one restaurant that I would say.

Meagan:

If you only had time for one place to eat, yeah, that would be it. It was, absolutely it's incredible. It's Bombay comfort food, but it's like this British and Indian crossover with just some of the most spectacular flavors. Absolutely, it's incredible it beats all.

Jacquelyn:

They have the most amazing dishes.

Meagan:

We tried the saffron rice.

Jacquelyn:

We went there a couple of times. Oh my gosh, that was incredible. We went there a couple times and got some of the same things that we just had to get, and then some different things, and every single item I ate both times, which is just phenomenal, and the description will write all that we have to. Yeah, and

Meagan:

We have pictures too.

Jacquelyn:

We have pictures

Meagan:

Yeah, and that's the thing so our friend actually came into town, yeah, and her first stop was london, so we got to meet up with her.

Jacquelyn:

Which was amazing.

Meagan:

We trained in the city and we all ate there together yeah, we just ordered a bunch of different things it was so fun and it was just so fun. It was such a fun memory and we all got different things and just tried them and I don't think we ate one bad thing.

Meagan:

No, like I think she would say the same thing

Jacquelyn:

Garlic naan. I just remembered that.

Meagan:

Oh my oh, the garlic naan, so I didn't see it but apparently by the bathroom they have where they're all making the homemade naan, you went over there I did? I didn't go see. It was surprising because, like poopapalooza, like you'd think I'd saw that going to the bathroom. Yeah, but they're making it there which is like a pretty cool thing to see.

Jacquelyn:

Yeah, you like go downstairs and you see the full kitchen and then you go down a hallway and all this stuff. So don't worry, the bathroom's not like right there by the food.

Jacquelyn:

It's sanitary it's very sanitary. But it's really cool because when you go down there you get to see them making the food and it's just it's. And the vibe there too is very like think london, cozy, like kind of thing, but also like different and like the vibe that you want it to be for this kind of food.

Meagan:

It's just modern bombay yeah, it is going everywhere and it's cozy. Oh, it's so cozy. Yeah, I want it right now.

Jacquelyn:

Me too, I want to go back.

Jacquelyn:

I want to fly back there right now. I mean, I hands down like after I left europe that was one of my top places. I've told so many people like that was one of the best meals I've had and like I crave Dishoom when I'm home, like all the time there are a few meals that like change your life yeah, that was one for me it that's what I was gonna say.

Meagan:

So our friend came into town. We ate with her there, and then the next day I told my mom I was like you have to go to Dishoom. So the next day we trained in again and had Dishoom two days in a row. Yeah, no regrets, I wanted it a third and fourth day too.

Jacquelyn:

And she loved it too.

Meagan:

Yeah, my mom's a fan of Indian food now, she hadn't really eaten much before that either. So, but yeah, Dishoom put it on your list.

Jacquelyn:

My next favorite places is Rosa's Thai. They have amazing Thai food there in general. We had some other good Thai places that were really great, but Rosa's Thai we went back about three times. Again we were there for I think, five weeks, yeah. So of course you know we had a lot of time to go to different ones, but Rosa's Thai we went back a couple times.

Meagan:

We threw down at Rosa's.

Jacquelyn:

And they're also their milk tea with boba. Oh my gosh, like I actually like I went to London a couple times and just got the boba from that place as well, because it was just so good.

Meagan:

They use fresh milk. That's the thing about London and Canada. They both had the best milk tea. I feel like here they use the powdered stuff and it's just not that good, but I definitely think we fell in love with milk tea in Canada. Yeah, the quality is just so much better. It's unbeatable. So good, so good. Another thing at Rosa's Thai is the red curry. Oh my gosh, it is the red curry, oh my gosh, it is the most perfect red curry it's one of the best I've ever had.

Jacquelyn:

Yeah, and I had the cashew chicken, which was incredible, which that's always like my thai favorite thing to get, but theirs was so good and when they're fried rice too, that was amazing.

Meagan:

My favorite time is when we went. It was the one that's like painted green, because there's several around the city. Yeah, there are and I don't remember what area. I think it was by a train station yeah, it was right by one and we were trying to figure out what to eat and we saw roses and we're like, no, no brainer we're going back to rosas and we went there and it was rainy, yeah, and we had Thai food. So cozy, so warm and so cozy, and we're in London, yeah when it rains in London, you don't mind.

Jacquelyn:

Yeah, you're like this is everything you wanted to be.

Meagan:

We didn't even have umbrellas.

Meagan:

We're just like it works.

Jacquelyn:

Yeah

Meagan:

We're happy

Jacquelyn:

It's so true. It's definitely one of my top favorite food food places, as well as their thai food and rosa's thai specifically I would highly recommend that. No doubt. Also chai guys.

Meagan:

Oh yeah, chai guys was amazing our friend took us to chai guys she had went before and she was like guys we went to Dishoom you'd love this and for sure, and it was cold that day and rainy and they have these like stainless steel pots, massive and they're just making big old things of chai and it's like steaming at the top. It was incredible. You can actually order it and get it delivered to the U S which I really need to do that.

Jacquelyn:

I know I forgot about that.

Meagan:

That was some of the best chai.

Jacquelyn:

It was so good. Oh, man, it was, it was amazing. But yeah, man, it was, it was amazing. But yeah, there there are so many more London places like honestly, like we could go on for forever. But full guide to come, for you know we'll do a whole episode on London, I'm sure where we can kind of go over everything that we really did and

Meagan:

We got for the Oxford train story

Jacquelyn:

Yes, Oxford train story. We'll do a full episode on London.

Meagan:

Let's just take it this way, my mom didn't see Oxford in the end because she gave up. We'll tell you why. It makes sense when you hear it. But it was, it was, it was a trek to get to oxford.

Jacquelyn:

But yeah, we'll go through all that and explain that to you, but we'll move on to our next spot, for worst and best is a Amalfi coast, so we'll start off again. Like I always say it's worst is sometimes more fun to tell because

Meagan:

I like to end on a good note too

Jacquelyn:

Yeah, absolutely the worst, because you start with the worst and be like okay, it wasn't that bad.

Meagan:

I'm not going to leave you with the bad and then be like okay, talk to you later.

Jacquelyn:

Yeah, absolutely. So as I mentioned in the last episode, transportation in general in Italy is. It is a beast.

Meagan:

Dicey

Jacquelyn:

You really got to figure it out and truly never really understand it and always try to figure it out, but it just it'll sometimes bite you in the butt a lot. So this specific day we were trying to get over to Positano. Basically, the ferry is the way that we had planned to go. It was canceled because of weather, so we were trying to figure out what to do because our plan was to go there. That was the day that we were going to do it. Meagan's aunt and her grandma were coming a couple days later. So this was like our chance to go do it and our chance to get over there, and this is the day we had planned for it. So we're like let's go

Meagan:

Because there's a lot of stairs there.

Meagan:

We weren't totally sure they'd want to do it and we knew if they wanted to, we'd go back.

Jacquelyn:

Yes

Meagan:

And so we planned the whole day out. We took a whole day, set it aside to go there and we got our ferry tickets early. We did all the things we were told to do to make it a good experience and an easy, seamless process. Yeah, but Italy's transportation it's not usually seamless, no matter what you try to do, and that's okay. We're learning the hard way and probably go back and learn another hard way because, it's a little bit tricky, yeah, but we do have enough tips to help you.

Meagan:

Yes, know what to do when things kind of occur that you weren't expecting. Like, if you have to pivot, yeah, we're really good at pivoting. I would say that's something that I learned through all of the travel experience. Yeah, is how to pivot.

Meagan:

I wasn't really good at that prior like no I kind of was a little bit of a baby to be, honest with some of that stuff, but now, like we've got grit and we've had to pivot so many times that it's like oh, no, fairy, that's okay, I'll swim yeah, not really, but also really.

Jacquelyn:

But it does feel that way. I mean, after a while, after you know the four and a half months we were in Europe, you, you pivot so many times that you're like, okay, basically at this point that's all I'm doing.

Jacquelyn:

So you really, you really do learn to adapt and recover, honestly, a lot

Meagan:

But this was tricky because the thing about italy is there's a lot of stairs and what goes down must come up. Yeah, and if you go down and you need to get up, you got to take a lot of stairs. Yeah, and at this especially, post-itano.

Jacquelyn:

So if you ever been or if you want to go, you see like pictures of it and it's like just so beautifully stacked on top of each other. Well, you've got to get down to the bottom and it doesn't just drive down to the bottom.

Meagan:

So yeah, you actually can't go all the way by car yeah, bottom, you know I did hear there is an elevator yeah, you can take there's usually a really long line. But yeah, we never found it and well, we didn't attempt to that much. At that point we were like, oh, we'll take the stairs and then halfway up the stairs, we're like why didn't we find that elevator? Why did we take the stairs?

Meagan:

but let's go back to the ferry. So, yeah, yeah, so we're trying to take the ferry and lines are super long. We're trying to figure it all out. People are kind of a little hectic, like, yeah, you could tell something was up, so we were trying to figure it out. We were talking to different people trying to see what's going on.

Meagan:

Then people are like, oh, the ferry's been canceled because they didn't like announce it no, just kind of had to figure it out yeah, because the ferries were going certain directions but they weren't going over to Positano, right, because I think you could go to Capri it was something about the water.

Jacquelyn:

Yeah, it was the way it was going.

Meagan:

That way you just couldn't take it so we're like okay, well, we got a pivot, we're gonna take a taxi. And someone's like oh, good luck, taxis aren't even going anymore. There's so many people going that, like you're barely going to get a taxi. A lot of them have given up, which I don't even truly know what that means, cause like don't you want to? Like just keep going. The more people need to get there, like not in Italy but yeah.

Meagan:

So there weren't a ton of taxis taking people, and so we were looking for a bus just to get back up from the, from the ferry to the top of Sorrento yeah, so we didn't have to walk, that we waited for a bus, we finally found one, and we're just sitting on there for like 30 minutes maybe 40 minutes.

Jacquelyn:

Yeah, because they were apparently in the middle of a break or something. Yeah, they're like sorry.

Meagan:

We're on a break, which is awesome yeah, it's like they deserve a break. But also, why is there only one? Why isn't there more so that you can take your break and we can still go up?

Meagan:

But it's just the way it is.

Jacquelyn:

So American

Meagan:

Gosh.

Meagan:

But yeah. So we finally got up there about 40 minutes later and we're like I think we may just not be able to go to Positano at this point. And then we went to try to find a taxi, even though they told us not to. It was al so bad. They were right, we couldn't find a taxi. Yeah, but there were buses going, but the lines were just wrapped around.

Meagan:

We're like my gosh it's gonna take like hours to get on that bus. Yeah, yeah, and so these vans were coming. But the vans that were coming

Jacquelyn:

They're like taxi vans.

Meagan:

They were taxi vans and they had to fill them up, so they were for bigger parties yeah

Jacquelyn:

So like there was three of us so we couldn't just go alone, like they wouldn't just take you only

Meagan:

Like a 10 seater. 12 yeah, big van

Jacquelyn:

So basically we started partnering up with random people, with these random bus taxis

Meagan:

And it charges 50 per person.

Jacquelyn:

I think it was yeah I think it was still pretty expensive.

Jacquelyn:

I mean it is, it's not nearby

Jacquelyn:

I will say

Meagan:

It was like 30 minutes, right it wasn't that?

Jacquelyn:

Yeah, they definitely banked on that.

Meagan:

It's like a 50 per person, I for 30 minutes

Jacquelyn:

Yeah, so we got a whole bunch of people together. It was actually really fun, though, because we got to meet some awesome people who were also like traveling and doing fun stuff they were actually

Meagan:

Doing the same thing we were doing, so it was fun to talk about our adventures, yeah, and even though it was a very, very winding experience to get to Positano, I was like a little little queasy, not gonna lie. Hey, if you ever have to take a big bus, try to sit at the front. That's a little true, because it's it's very windy, but yeah, at one point you're like, am I going to fall off the side when this guy's turning? Cause Italians drive like New Yorkers.

Meagan:

Yeah, they just haul it

Jacquelyn:

They really do

Meagan:

But yeah, we got to meet them and talk to them and that was really fun so, but that was really fun so

Jacquelyn:

But that was crazy it was really because we were like basically just pairing up with random strangers, with this random driver, and just telling them like hey, go ahead, take us, let's get over there, and then that's not even the end of the story.

Jacquelyn:

So they drop us off at kind of like the top of the road and they're

Meagan:

Not even the beginning of it.

Jacquelyn:

No

Meagan:

Like off to the side where you're still not sure you're in Positano

Jacquelyn:

You're not, you're not in the town at all, you're like at the very top and they're like, basically, this is the last place we can go because we can't turn around. Get out now like this is the last spot we can turn around.

Jacquelyn:

We were like, okay, so we walk all the way down

Meagan:

Some people had their luggage with them.

Jacquelyn:

I know, I know, because some people were like checking in into hotels from there, and it's I mean the videos you see probably a lot of people see these because I know I do on Instagram of people like trekking their suitcases.

Meagan:

It's reality.

Jacquelyn:

It's real, it's very real. But yeah, so they drop us off at the top and so we, you know, we walk all the way. It takes us a long time to get down to the bottom.

Meagan:

The funny part my legs were sore walking down as if I walked up. Yes, I was like this never happens. My calves hurt so bad when we got to the bottom.

Meagan:

I was like oh my gosh my legs are kind of shaky.

Jacquelyn:

Yes, They were just going down and it felt never ending because, like you know, I'm always kind of like mapping us the go-to maps person. I'm happiness and I'm, you know, meanwhile thinking I'm like, am I correct? Am I literally leading us to the wrong spot? But we eventually got back up to like a main road.

Meagan:

You, you're like oh good they made it.

Meagan:

I'm so happy for them

Jacquelyn:

Then you gotta get home

Meagan:

great time which it was fun.

Meagan:

We went there. We had that. We ate at a restaurant that had a beautiful view. We actually had there was a great coffee shop there that we're gonna link, because it was kind of a hack too to go sit out there, because it wasn't very crowded right outside of the restaurant it was

Jacquelyn:

Like a little cafe almost

Meagan:

And they even had desserts and we had espressos.

Jacquelyn:

Yeah, I actually think it's so it's actually a hotel, but it was a hotel restaurant

Meagan:

Yeah, yeah, you're right

Jacquelyn:

And then we just we got their coffee menu

Meagan:

And thank god we have the espressos, because we had to go back up. Poor Jacq only drinks decaf coffee, so she was just running on adrenaline

Jacquelyn:

It was just me and myself. Me, myself and I.

Meagan:

But yeah, so we had to. What goes down goes up

Jacquelyn:

Yeah, so. So we make the trek up, which was very long and hard and lots of pauses in between, because it was.

Meagan:

It was always huffing and puffing

Jacquelyn:

And so we get back to main road and the bus line is insane.

Meagan:

We stood there at the bus stop. Yeah, people were sitting down. They looked so comfy, like they had just been there for forever because they had. Yeah, and they said that people were packed on the buses so much that whenever it came by it was so crowded that no one could get on. Yeah, so like, just bus after bus kept passing us and we're like, can we? And then no, it was like never happening.

Jacquelyn:

So we were like, okay, at this point it was later in the day, it wasn't dark yet, but you know, we were like we need, how are we going to get home.

Meagan:

It was hot there too.

Jacquelyn:

Taxis wouldn't stop apparently, like. It was mayhem.

Jacquelyn:

So eventually, here you can tell this part of the story.

Meagan:

For those of you who don't know my mom, she's a badass

Jacquelyn:

She is.

Meagan:

Like seriously.

Meagan:

She was like I'm going to make this happen, we are going to get a ride home. And so, because we did that on the way there, she had the idea that let's like, let's gather some people. Yeah, let's see. You know, if we have to take a bit, Because sometimes the vans would pass and they're like how many people? And you say, keep going. They don't even give you time to really talk, you got to be, like ready, because they're so quick, yeah.

Meagan:

So my mom goes to these like three girls and she's like hey, if another van comes, you guys want to partner up and like split a fare and get back to Sorrento. And they were like no like they were so weirded out, if you see my mom like what's she going to do like nd looks really, I don't know, not that way, like why were they afraid of her?

Jacquelyn:

I wouldn't be scared. I get it, though. I get it, because it's a different country.

Meagan:

I mean she's like, okay, they're not the answer, let's move on. So we move on to another people and then we're like, hey, do you know? And they're like, yeah, let's do it, let's do it, so we get the same idea so she flags down a bus she kept flagging down everyone, like basically standing in front, like hey, stop I gotta talk to you and she stops them and she's like do you have room?

Meagan:

And they're like, oh, I only have one, or I only have two, yeah. And so finally she flags one down and it was empty, yeah, and they were like we have to go somewhere, like we're going, and she's like, yeah, but are you going to Sorrento, do you remember?

Meagan:

that they were like I mean we can, and like yeah, sure, and then she's, and so then all the people start coming that she had talked to to like get on with us. And I felt bad for those girls because then they were like wait, wait, we'll go. We're like then the guy's like no room, no room but I get it.

Meagan:

I'm the same way

Jacquelyn:

I would have done the same thing

Meagan:

Not to my mom but like I get that

Jacquelyn:

And they didn't have the experience we had had getting there so I can understand that they're like what do you mean? Like no, I'm not gonna get in a car with you too

Meagan:

But yeah, so we got on and that was fun too.

Meagan:

It was actually more people from australia, yeah, and they were so lovely and so great and it was so fun to talk with them and we just kind of had a ball the whole way home yeah, it was great and then we paid millions of dollars at the end, because they just kind of quote whatever price they want.

Jacquelyn:

Yeah they really do

Meagan:

And you'll pay it because you're just so happy to have had wheels to get home

Jacquelyn:

But we made it back. But, yeah, I feel like getting there and getting back, you never really know if you're going to make it.

Jacquelyn:

So it's always kind of like, you know, living on a hope and a prayer

Meagan:

At least during peak season

Jacquelyn:

Yeah, for sure. But we it was. It was the end of September, I will say we were supposed to have that advantage.

Jacquelyn:

But I know it's crazy, there was. It was also, you know, it was during a time where it was just really busy still, even though it was in September, october. So I feel like maybe it was just that that time, I don't know, but either way, the views were beautiful.

Meagan:

The views were beautiful, definitely beautiful

Jacquelyn:

Which leads us to our best stories.

Meagan:

Well, this next one, though, kind of leads up with a negative that turned into a positive

Jacquelyn:

That's very, very true.

Jacquelyn:

Yeah, take us away with that story

Meagan:

We stayed at an Airbnb and you, there was some ants that were kind of coming in and we were like, oh, that's fine, ants, whatever, yeah, they're not spiders, no big deal, yeah. But then we went out one day and we came back and the ants had trailed from the sliding door in one of the bedrooms all the way up the bed and it was kind of making like a little trail, probably to the kitchen that's where it looked like it was going, but it was quite a bit.

Meagan:

So we had to call the host and tell her like hey, we're having a little bit of an ant issue. Um, it's quite a bit. Uh, we wanted to call you let you know and see what we could do about it. Yeah, and she ended up coming over helping us mitigate yeah, which was great we got fixed with.

Jacquelyn:

Really, quickly.

Meagan:

She was amazing, she was super on it. And then we all started chatting and talking and next thing, you know, she's like do you want to go grab lunch sometime while you're here, cause she knew we were here for quite a while. And we're like oh my gosh, yeah, we'd love to like we just had the best conversation. It's really rare to meet people where you have like that instant connection.

Jacquelyn:

And we really had that.

Meagan:

We did, yeah, it was it was really special, so it was kind of cool, because something that was negative was actually set up for something pretty great

Jacquelyn:

It's like oh, you know bugs, oh no, like that should just be, like there should be nothing positive about that.

Jacquelyn:

But it actually ended up being like a beautiful friendship and which leads to an even crazier story. So so we know we're we plan to have lunch or dinner or whatever. Well, we actually we ended up moving Airbnb. So we moved from her Airbnb to a different one, because this is where Meagan's aunt and grandmother they come and they meet us the last 10 days of the trip.

Meagan:

smaller one at the beginning, and then we moved to a bigger one when they came.

Jacquelyn:

Yeah, one with like a beautiful view too and it was just like perfect because we all kind of did like vacation style more than just like you know, living and working the whole thing. So the crazy thing is our host at the other one actually was best friends with the family. That was actually a cooking class right above our other airbnb. So we found this out. It was so wild

Meagan:

And we already had our cooking class booked well through her, because she helped us find a good one.

Jacquelyn:

She recommended it. She was like, oh, go to this.

Meagan:

But she didn't know we were staying right below them until yeah we did a dinner.

Meagan:

We're like, hey, you want to come over for dinner because we have this beautiful airbnb with a great view. Yeah, and we show her and she's like my best friend lives right above that. Yes, it was amazing.

Jacquelyn:

It was so cool. So we got to have this amazing dinner with both of them and get to know them and really just like get to talk to them about you know, their culture and just really get to like meet people who are from there, which was just such an incredible experience.

Meagan:

Well, because we went to the cooking class, yeah, and we invited her to dinner too, and it was just so special and so magical.

Meagan:

Truly the best part of Italy for me was definitely the people. You hear that a lot. It was really special to get to know the people on a personal level because you get to experience a lot of people along the way. You know you have taxi drivers, restaurant owners and really neat, amazing people, but to be able to sit down and have conversation and really get to know them on a personal level, that was such a highlight for me it was.

Meagan:

It was so special it was so incredible and it taught me a lot. I feel like I've been learning this a lot in life is a lot of times bad things can happen or things that are negative. Yeah, and if you really sit in it for a little bit, sometimes it leads to something positive. Yeah, it's so true, and I've learned that a lot, and not all the time, some things are just real negative and it's just, there's never a positive to it.

Jacquelyn:

Yeah, yeah.

Meagan:

But sometimes it also can lead to something beautiful, it's true, and so I tell myself that a lot, whenever I'm really having a hard time with something, I think remember the ants, how they led you to a really beautiful friendship, and we still talk to them this day. They're might be listening right now so it's pretty cool that something negative turned into such a beautiful positive yeah, absolutely.

Jacquelyn:

I so agree. It's like such a great lesson. Honestly, traveling in general like teaches you that. It teaches you to take these like bumps in the road and realize that there can actually be something amazing behind them. Or or they just teach you more grit and persistence and ability to navigate like hard things and they do make you stronger. That was one of the best things about

Meagan:

And traveling this long makes you realize how important connection is absolutely, and so you're more open to connecting too yeah, you're kind of seeking that we watched a lot of eat, pray love, so we were looking for that slice of pizza and those really good friends and, honestly, we found both yeah, so that was pretty cool.

Jacquelyn:

It's so true, if you keep your mind open and you just, you know, meet people and keep yourself open, like it happens, and you get to meet some amazing people. So it's, that's one of the best parts about traveling

Meagan:

Speaking of eat, pray, love, should we move on to food?

Jacquelyn:

Yes, let's move on to food. So best bites, absolutely hands down. As I said in the last one, gelato and ice cream were, like always, always my favorites, but this took the top of all of the gelato and all of Italy that we tried. It was Gabriele's in Vico Equense so that's actually. We stayed in the Airbnb, the second one where the the cooking class was and everything. It was in Vico Quince. I hope I'm saying that right, but it's something like that. Either way, we'll put it in the description.

Meagan:

I think you're right, but yeah but Gabriele's, oh my gosh, hands down no matter where you're staying in Amalfi, you go here, you go here, I mean, if you're in Capri

Jacquelyn:

Yes, you go here

Meagan:

You take a boat and you come back.

Jacquelyn:

However, you need to get there you go.

Meagan:

It's so good it is.

Jacquelyn:

It was the best. I would get my typical chocolate and stracciatella and it was just, oh my gosh, and you got so and they did so many different flavors, but they would do on any of the flavors, they would do a what was i It was like a pistachio

Meagan:

Pistachio crunch and you roll it in there it's amazing

Jacquelyn:

Or is it hazelnut?

Meagan:

Maybe. Oh, I think it was hazelnut, hazelnut

Jacquelyn:

I don't know.

Meagan:

It was perfect

Jacquelyn:

We didn't even try this until like the next to last day

Meagan:

Everyone told us to

Jacquelyn:

Yes, but it was gelato in a brioche bun.

Meagan:

You know even the guy from florence, the guy we met at cafe gilli no, yeah, I can't have me say that now without laughing. It's so funny, the snl lady Gilli but even the guy there he's like you gotta go have the he said the pizza yes, by the meter, and he said the brioche gelato, and we didn't even listen to him until the last day.

Meagan:

But yeah, sorry to interrupt.

Jacquelyn:

No, that's fine, but I got it the last day and then I went back and got it. Did I get it twice the next day?

Jacquelyn:

I don't know, but it was like our last day

Meagan:

We had gelato two times a day.

Jacquelyn:

I think that our last like three or four days we had gelato twice, like we would go after lunch and then we'd go after dinner, and I don't regret it one bit, it was so good

Meagan:

You got to explain the brioche though I should not have interrupted

Jacquelyn:

Yeah sorry, so the brioche. It is gelato in a brioche bun and it's like the sweet bread. Obviously, because it's like brioche and it is magical it is something about like that, that ice cream, how it melts with like the sweet bread and it is just so incredibly good. It surprised me because I was kind of skeptical. I was like why do I want.

Meagan:

We didn't try it till

Jacquelyn:

ice cream and bread

Jacquelyn:

But, oh my gosh, don't knock it till you try it it was

Meagan:

Nothing beats biting into it just gets all over your face.

Meagan:

You just go with it.

Jacquelyn:

It's so good it's so good.

Jacquelyn:

I have like a picture and a video of me like just chomping down on this huge brioche bun with ice cream and it's like

Meagan:

That special time I feel like, uh, it was late, it was like 10 pm. Yeah, I don't know I think so me, you and my grandma went.

Meagan:

Yeah, we had to get it again, so we actually brought some to go home for my aunt, my great aunt, and my mom, and it's like tub we did and we even brought them the. I think you're right, it was candied hazelnuts I think we brought that home to them and they like put it all over it but we sat with mimi outside, right there on a bench outside and we had brio.

Meagan:

Well, no, I got it.

Jacquelyn:

Yeah, that's right

Meagan:

Like why didn't I get that again?

Meagan:

Yeah, I messed up this up.

Meagan:

This is our last night. So Jacq has a scoop of ice cream, she goes back in and she's like I'll have the same ice cream in a brioche bun. Yeah, because she ate a bite of mine, and she's like no mistakes were made.

Jacquelyn:

Actually okay, in the bun I got hazelnut and chocolate ice cream. Oh my gosh, Because then it pairs with like that brioche. It's so good, just just try it. That was a special one it was. It was so fun.

Meagan:

Cooking class is really great. We'll have to link that for sure.

Jacquelyn:

Um, also, spaghetti alla nerrano is a dish that that area is famous for, so essentially it's kind of like lightly fried zucchini and kind of like almost it's not really a cream sauce like you think of alfredo. It's like like kind of a cream sauce, but it's a light cream sauce, super light, almost Almost like an olive oil with a little bit of Parmesan and a splash of cream.

Jacquelyn:

It's not like a heavy cream sauce, but then they have those

Meagan:

But they make it creamy but they don't use cream.

Meagan:

That's the crazy part, like I say a splash of cream because it tastes like there's a splash of cream, but they don't use cream in this pasta.

Jacquelyn:

It's cheesy, it's just so good, and they, they do these lightly fried zucchinis, that makes it.

Jacquelyn:

And it's there, you can find it. And the parmesan, you can find it pretty much anywhere and it's amazing.

Jacquelyn:

But I did have one place that I loved it specifically and I will add that into the description lived off this pasta.

Meagan:

She got it a couple places

Jacquelyn:

I think I got it like four or five different places

Meagan:

She can tell you the best.

Jacquelyn:

Yeah, because it was, it was, it was just so good and and I'm I know I love red sauce, don't get me wrong, but I am definitely like I I love like creamier um or like olive oil based pastas, so like I just had, I just tried it so many times cause I loved it, but then also pizza by the meter.

Meagan:

Yeah, pizza by the meter was fun. A lot of people recommended that, and so we got that twice, I think yeah, and one of the nights was when we had the dinner with our friends that we had met there. They came over for dinner. Um, let me set the stage here. It was just so perfect we sat under these beautiful lights overlooking the ocean, you could see the moonlight just cascading on the sea.

Meagan:

Yeah, and we ordered pizza by the meter and it's really neat. You got to look it up. It's like this massive box, it's by the meter. It's by the meter. You'd never seen anything like it. And it comes and you can actually get different flavors based on like. I think we got four different types of pizzas all in one ginormous box so this was what was crazy. I never had meatball pizza before.

Meagan:

Yeah, and at first I was like I really want to try the meatball pizza, but I also was like sounds a little bit like it wouldn't be good. Yeah, so good.

Jacquelyn:

It's amazing, didn't have ricotta on it too or s omething?

Meagan:

Like chunks of ricotta.

Meagan:

Oh, so good the meatballs weren't that big too, they were like small little meatballs yeah yeah, I think we ordered that the second time too, I think so good. Did they have a pizza nerrano? Why do I feel like we had like a zucchini one. Maybe we just got like a zucchini pizza think so, yeah, we got so many different flavors, it was so fun.

Jacquelyn:

I think the meatball one still was the best, though I remember that one was the best.

Meagan:

I could get a whole big thing of a meatball pizza.

Meagan:

But yeah, it was really great, it was really fun. That was a special memory to do that.

Jacquelyn:

It was so special.

Meagan:

And, yeah, definitely recommend going there. That's also in Vico, so you could get pizza by meter then you can go get gelato, then you can get more gelato if you're Jacq

Jacquelyn:

I think actually vico equense, I would recommend going there.

Jacquelyn:

That was something that surprised me a little bit because we were staying a little bit outside of sorrento, because we got, we wanted the view there, um, versus like staying in sorrento where you wouldn't have as good of a view for the cost and everything and it absolutely we loved the town so great it was a great town, very, very cute, has amazing food and it also, just like it, has everything you need and like a dream, yeah, and you can take a 10 minute train into Sorrento, so you're really right there.

Jacquelyn:

It's a little bit of a walk depending on where you stay, but it was so worth it and I mean, you're in Italy, you just you can either take a cab too if you don't want to walk, but it was, it was just amazing. You want to walk everywhere. I mean the views constantly, just like take your breath away because you're walking alongside the water and it was amazing, Every sunset was so good oh it was so good.

Meagan:

Also the boat ride that we took to Capri. It was so beautiful, one of the most magical things I've done

Jacquelyn:

It was.

Meagan:

It was so special and we'll definitely link the guy that captain because he was so great. We took a private ride. So you can take a tour with people and then, if you have enough people, you could do a private tour, and so we did that. We really enjoyed it and he did like a playlist based on each moment that we were riding. I'm a big music person, so to feel those moments with the perfect song, I was like this guy.

Meagan:

It was this guy, yeah those moments with the perfect song. Yeah so, but I'll never forget we were going underneath the rocks and he played

Jacquelyn:

Yeah, like the iconic rocks

Meagan:

Yeah, and he was playing perfect symphony by Andrea Bocelli. I don't know if I said that right yeah, and Ed Sheeran, and oh my gosh. That moment was a core memory for me.

Jacquelyn:

It was such a core.

Meagan:

I think I cried.

Meagan:

Yeah, I was crying honestly.

Jacquelyn:

It was just stunning. The music, the, I mean

Meagan:

It changed my life. I know it was, I was like I. This is just, I can't explain it. It was spiritual.

Jacquelyn:

And it was at the end of our trip so I feel like it was kind of just bringing in like like we had been on gone for four and a half months and we're doing this amazing experience how to experience so many incredible things and then just to have this moment that it kind of felt kind of like I don't know, just like very like conclusive yeah.

Meagan:

o like we were packing all the things we felt and ending that little chapter of spending our time in Europe.

Jacquelyn:

Yeah, and it was just such a beautiful moment

Meagan:

That song came on on a plane ride, yeah I don't remember where I was going, but and I teared up again because I was like I had that moment, but I still didn't feel the same way I felt in that moment.

Meagan:

eah, and it was so special to have that moment it was, but yeah, oh gosh, I couldn't recommend that enough and that capri restaurant he took us to this spot, so it's really cool. Our boat only could go so far. So he docked our boat or he threw a um an anchor out and he sat there and waited for these guys to come on this like little raft, yeah, and we all hopped on this raft and we went all the way to the restaurant and it was so fun.

Jacquelyn:

It was so fun and the water, oh my gosh. The water was so clear. Like we, we basically hopped off the boat to just have lunch, but at the end Meagan and I jumped in the water because it was so clear and beautiful and that was like another core memory it was so beautiful and it was. It was just the most beautiful water I can't even

Meagan:

I think it was the most beautiful. Like south of France was great. Yeah, other places were great, but Capri, yeah, I agree was something otherworldly. I was like why are we getting back on the boat to leave? ike want to stay here forever.

Meagan:

Like know and that's another thing I'd recommend we didn't stay in Capri and I, if I went back or when I go back, I definitely am going to stay in Capri a few nights, because it was something that I wish I could have explored

Jacquelyn:

Yeah, because we didn't really get to go see the town either, and I would love to do that.

Jacquelyn:

That's something that's on my list for sure, yeah.

Meagan:

That water is a giant swimming pool you gotta got to go

Jacquelyn:

But yeah, so that kind of sums up our best and worst stories of Amalfi Coast and also best and worst of London, with our Poopapalooza story.

Meagan:

Oh man, can we delete that? Do we have? Is it too late to take that out? Maybe we should.

Jacquelyn:

Too late. It's too late, it's posted. It's already posted, just kidding

Meagan:

So just so moral of that story, though.

Meagan:

What did we learn? Don't get your gallbladder out, and then go to Europe

Jacquelyn:

Also, don't wait. Don't wait for it to be too late.

Meagan:

Don't wait for it to be too late.

Jacquelyn:

Yes, If there's anything that you can take away from us today, don't wait until it's too late.

Meagan:

Yes, don't have a poopapalooza of your own.

Jacquelyn:

Yeah, thank you so much again for listening today. We are really loving doing this and really enjoying to be able to share these moments with you and we can't wait to make more episodes. And yeah, it just it's been so fun.

Meagan:

It really has. Yeah, thanks everyone for listening.

Jacquelyn:

Yeah, thanks so much and we'll see you on the next one.
