Our travel is coming to an end

The last 2 weeks have been a torrent of activity and discovery. I can't wait to come back in Italy in the future and spend more time discovering this beautiful place. It exceeded my expectations and I got a renewed enthusiasm for what is ahead of us: a baby and potentially a homestead to build.

I got especially excited by all the beautiful farmhouses we've seen and what Italians have been able to build on cliffs.

But to be honest with you....I'm exhausted! I feel like a hobbit that just wants:

Good food, a warm hearth, and all the comforts of home...

What I can't wait to get back into...

I can't wait to come back and review all the projects that have been added to the spreadsheet. I have space for sponsorship via my voting and I'm looking forward to finding those projects I want to support.

Steem is growing rapidly and we need good projects to be promoted and encouraged.

We also sing in a choir and we have huge concerts coming quickly and we have a lot of practicing to do before we feel 100% ready to give great concerts this march.

Conclusion

By thursday, I should be fully operational, ready to tackle jump back on the goals me and my wife established via the future authoring I and my wife worked on last November.

Quick question

In the past I've created contests such as photography contests and meme contests. Which one was your favorite?

Italy is one of my dream country to visit. I will definitely visit one day. I know you really enjoyed your vacation. Greet you wife and the unborn child for me.. Wish you save journey back home

i believe the days spent in Italy has been rewarding so much especially in knowledge@cryptoctopus, i have told my wife we would be visiting Italy in the nearest future. Having heard so much about Italy, the best thing to do is to have a first-hand experience myself.

I hope you would let us know when your wife puts to bed and see his beautiful face.

I am double sure your friends and family have missed you and can't wait to have you back.

Do have a safe trip back home and take enough time to rest and rest and do some more resting.lol

Italy is such a beautiful place. And that is such a beautiful picture. I've never seen you before, so that was nice. I thought you'd have like tentacles, and some squid thingys, haha. it was very pleasant seeing you looking cool and handsome.

I'm defintely visiting Italy in the future. Hopefully i raise enough money on steemit for that. Hey, maybe we'd even go back together the next time. Way to go with the steem promotions. I might have never seen you before, but I have definitely felt your work. Keep it up, bro.

It’s always sad these vacations pass so quickly.
Your trip in Italy must have been a very memorable experience. I actually visited Sorrento in Italy many years ago while still in Europe before I moved, or some call it immigrated, to US. This trip was based out of a agritourismo in Sorrento and I really enjoyed being immersed in local culture. I absolutely loved our tour in the south of Italy. We traveled with a small group of four. On the way back we also stopped in Monte Carlo, took us about 10 hours to get there, but it was on our way back home so we were excited to visit it at the same time. This is an amazing city, probably the cleanest modern city in the world, I definitely recommend a visit. Anyway back to Italy, we also took a ride from Sorrento to Positano, took us less than an hour to get there and it was a great experience as well. I remember The Walk of the Gods, it was far better than I had hoped for, even though my legs were shaking, which I still can clearly remember, after the thousands steps “lol”down. The food was fantastic. Loved everything about the trip. I’m almost definitely jealous of your trip in Italy and it almost makes me to reconsider my summer plans for vacation. It was one of my best trips I had had while still living in Europe.

Definitely the meme contest!! :D There were some hilarious ones!!

Have a safe trip back home!! And good luck with parenthood to both you and your wife, I hope and pray everything goes smoothly :)

I prefer photography contests. It seems like Steemit is getting saturated with memes.

I'm going to have to check out the future authoring that you linked as I must have missed that post.

If you're back home already welcome back home and thanks for sharing some amazing photos from your baby moon. Italy really does look like a beautiful place.

I think we have enough memes on this platform. Maybe photography contests? Or you could sponsor the daily food photography that i'm running #selfpromo LOL

Oh yes, my friend, as I understand you in your desire to return home and really liked words "Good food, a warm hearth, and all the comforts of home...", because there is nothing better at home! In this regard, I want to wish you good luck in the construction of the estate and in those projects that are waiting for you in the future! You asked us about the contests liked and I really liked the New Year's contest of memes, as a harbinger of the New Year! Thanks @cryptoctopus and I'll be waiting for you with new projects!

@cryptoctopus,
Yeah you should go back! Coz I want to see more great photography from you again from this wonderful place!
You asked a question! I like Meme contest! Hope you will call a new Meme contest soon too!
After all that's an awesome photography!

Cheers~

Glad to hear you're enjoying your time, but yeah, I've been there when you're having a blast, but in the back of your mind you wouldn't mind just having a relaxing day back at home. As far as contests go, I prefer photography ones since I'm better at that than making memes, but the meme contests might be a little more entertaining ha.

Italy... top of my travel list.
Nothing like a good italian food!

I can't wait to come back and review all the projects that have been added to the spreadsheet.

That's perfect. Just a question, how many projects would you be sponsoring?

Have a safe journey and once you come back, start watching those web development tutorials, I have actually taken the same course :D

i'm pretty impressed by those fantastic photography of your journey. high quality photography & nature, history & beauty of rome & italy well covered by those photography. impressive articles you shared about that journey. i like both contests which is conducting by you. never won yet, but hope to be @cryptoctopus

@resteemia
reteemed & upvoted

@cryptoctopus - Sir you had a nice vacation at Italy & we were lucky to see your stunning photography collection of your vacation Sir... Now you are back to track & wish to see your development updates & other blockchain development project news Sir... Finally I like photography contest Sir... I saw a lot of beautiful photography in that contest Sir...

+W+

Such trips are necessary to recharge us and get ready for the future plans. Hope you have enjoyed a lot in these days. Such trips are always rememberable and wonderful clicks taken become memories. I like your photography contest. Steem on

Awesome .. Post beautiful
Well done .. good for you the place looks great
Thank you for sharing your adventure

Will you post a video of your choir concert? I know it's not what you usually post, but I wouldn't mind watching it;)

Both contest were great, but for me meme contest was my favorite. Maybe because I won 3. place in one of those:). I understand you very well, there is no place like home.

One of the interesting aspects of traveling, even to a wonderful place like Italy, is that you end up missing your own pillow.

While the road can be nice, it does get old. Living out of a suitcase is tough. And it is difficult to maintain a routine. At home, we can into a routine (which can be boring at time) which fosters comfort and productivity.

I have Italy on my bucket list...but for now I am trying to set up my routine to operate on Steemit here and see where it takes me. I am getting close to being full time.

Thanks for sharing the wonderful trip with us. We look forward to learning more about your coding progress.

Safe trip home.

That's great man. We;ll have to get on a skype call one day you and me

Certainly, I look forward to it when you get back and settled in.

Travel is life, enjoy every bit of it.To me, one of the most beautiful things about travel is the fact that every day is different. There are no routines, no set rules, or no expectations. You can do what you want, whenever you please. Enjoy your travels and have a safe journey home. @cryptoctopus @taskmaster4450

Great to know you are returning back after such an amazing trip, this is really a good news and for people like me who submitted projects, this paragraph is the news of the century

I can't wait to come back and review all the projects that have been added to the spreadsheet. I have space for sponsorship via my voting and I'm looking forward to finding those projects I want to support.

We can't wait to see your review of this project and to enjoy your support if our projects qualifies.

Are you gonna be a father???!! Or is it still a wish to go for?
Anyway it was really cool that you make so much photo's of your journey together and I can't wait for more in the future :)

The fun part about your vacation is that you make beautyfull pictures and you learn us something about the city where you at.

As I said I really enjoyed it and the best wishes for comming home. Take some rest because you should be exausted by now wahahaha.

Cheers mate :)

About the contests my favorite is about memes haha, I prefer to have a laugh from time to time.

Waiting to read some updates on your chosen projects.

Cheers!

@annester is a great photographer. Throughout you vacation all the pictures she took were lovely. Safe journey as you head back home.

The best contest you've held and the one I loved most was the meme contest. A lot of hilarious entries were recorded.

Its feel good to get back to your daily routine after travelling. It seems that you enjoy a lot during the trip. Both the contest hosted by you are very cool but meme contest is my favourite it turns the whole comments thread into comedy. Thanks for sharing your travel photos. Get back quickly to your goals

nice i think italy is not for leaving but after all you ready to come back and we wait for your next tour again in italy i joined you first time in this tour and always good to see your awesome and exellent photography work from all awsome and pretty points
hope you got some best projects plans and reviews from all of your followers on your sheet but i also will appriciate them who are working on steemit base projects like you and that projects should give us and all othes steemians some good benefits
my answer on your question your both contests are brilliant some time we like to see meme cntests ans some time we like to see photogrpahy so i think boths are brilliant

Have a great trip back home and thanks for sharing through your posts with us. We're leaving this Friday to Spain, with baby in the belly...can't wait! Don't worry, you didn't miss anything with this gray winter we've had in Quebec. But yeah, I can understand the feeling of getting back to the confort of your home and stuff. Btw, I especially liked the meme contest!

You looks handsome! Have a safe journey.

Wow! The Rome holiday finally coming to a close. I'm sure the whole experience was worth it though. The pictures speak a lot about that.

We also sing in a choir and we have huge concerts coming quickly and we have a lot of practicing to do before we feel 100% ready to give great concerts this march.

So much activities for a man like you, yet you keep up with them all. That's excellent.

Concerning your contests, I prefer the photography contests, moreso, now, with the introduction of #photofeed, it is going to be much more fun. It has always been an array of beautiful pictures, different views from all over the world. It's beautiful, and actually challenging to join, as every contestant knows that it is a tough one competing with experts all over.

The photo contest was the best for me. I love this variety of life travel, discoveries and eating new food I loved your adventure. Wait for your new ♥♥♥

I got especially excited by all the beautiful farmhouses we've seen and what Italians have been able to build on cliffs.
Italy is a very beautiful place to be in most especially when you consider their farming system.

That’s great news..you must miss your home,i hope you enjoy alot in italy..and love your picture.

Found your post interesting to read Good Luck with the upcoming update.

I really enjoy the meme contest dear @cryptoctopus

This travel was on 100% steemit money which you earned, or you add some from side hustle/main work?

On photo you look a little bit tired after walking miles up in mount).

It has been a dream to go visit Italy even for just a moment.. It's a place with very great and attractive sceneries... If I could go there for once I would be the most happiest person on earth but I am working hard towards it... I am certain u had a great time.. Safe journey back home

Holaa comprendo tu emocion Italia es super bello mi padre es oriundo de alla,es una mezcla de antiguedad con modernismo,te explico las fachadas son historicas pero la parte interna de las extructuras son modernas,es impresionante las construcciones a la orilla de los acantilados,y seguro que pronto volveras a Italia con nuevos integrantes de la familia,mucha suerte..

It has been my dream to go to italy, it is a very captivating country with great sceneries.... But with the way holidays go by it really baffles me.. I am certain if I go to Italy I won't want to come back home

We look forward to your holiday with detailed writing and pictures. how were the pizzas :) I will be following you for your new trips and photo contests became more productive

Awesome trip. Thanks for always sending us the pictures, they were beautiful!

Yeah Italy is indeed beautiful...Wish I could visit someday...
PS
I can't answer your last question right owas I have started following you a couple of weeks ago.

I love Italy too. Especially Rome. And the beaches. And the bitches.
As for your question, I VOTE MEME.
reak cat mos kicsi.jpg

What makes you really like in italy?
I've never been there, maybe you can be a very difficult memories story is forgotten.
your story is interesting and one side is parting with italy,,
Thanks @cryptoctopus for sharing

All good things come to an end. You guys had the most of fun, telling from the moods you were always in in the pics. You can consider settling in Italy.. It's so tempting. There are a lot of features for sure.. the pics were always on point.
Your in a choir @octoctopus!!?? This is interesting.. upload a video of you singing in the choir. We would love to see one of the great steemit supporters singing.
Otherwise thankyou for travelling with us. You've given us a clear picture of what we are missing out from Italy. I too can't wait to reach there honestly

Ya keren bisa memberi saya masukan sedikit dari postingan anda mempunyai arti yang luar biasa..aya menyukainya

I prefer the photography contest. Glad you enjoyed your trip

The photo contest was the best for me........
just beautiful

I have been in italy one time. It was about 10 days . My favorite city is Florance in italy. I hope you have a wonderful trip. Enjoy there . Thanks for post and photos

You must have really discovered a lot in the beautiful cities of that Great Country, Italy. Wish you a safe trip back home

There's nothing has beatiful as a photography contest. The mindblowing picture qualities, discoveries and experience sharing is undisputable.
Meme contest is always fun though but personally, i prefer the photography contest.
It was fun travelling with you via your posts. And thank you for sharing.

Grazie per essere venuto a trovarci! Spero che la tua esperienza sia stata più da ospite che da turista 😉

Translation: Thanks for coming to visit us! I hope your experience was more guest-like than tourist-like (hence that you have been treated very well by us italians!)

To answer your quick question: personally i've found your meme contests a source of big laughs and having been a bit down in the last months, i definetely valued it a lot! That's my personal preference 🙂

I bet, even though you couldn’t wait to get back home you had an amazing experience. I was in that area years ago and still remember every moment. I had a blast. While visiting Sorrento, we were approached by a stranger, I guess he was a tour guy or working for tour company, mentioning day trips to Anacapri on the Amalfi Coast. First of all, we’ve never really heard of Anacapri, and I’m not really a fan of spontaneous trip decisions. I like organized plans and sticking to itineraries, but my wife turned to me and literally said, “Feeling Crazy?!”, to this day I don’t regret this decision. We had to take a short ferry ride, and finally arrived on the tiny island. We also rode a bus on the island for a while, and that itself was an adventure! The roads were crowded and windy, and driving a rickety thing through the cliffs seemed like a death sentence. We were happy to be finally on our feet! All in all it was a fabulous day trip that we both throughly enjoyed. It also taught me that being spontaneous and not having set plans isn’t always a bad thing.

How is Italy journey bro? Weather looks great there. Love that #steemit

Thanks bro. We look forward to the contests #steemit

I hope u had enjoyed ur Italy trip.. If u really love to travel then u should visit northern areas of Pakistan.. U will be in love with those Areas...

Just dreaming to witness that beautiful place...
Good experience...
You and your wife need some relaxation I guess before going back to your busy sched of works...

photos and scenery are very beautiful.

I like the comparison with the hobbit, in the head immediately comes the picture) I've never been to Italy, but I know that is a very beautiful country with many wonderful places. You have big changes in your life ahead of you and global plans. I wish you a good rest , to take up the case with renewed vigor!

Best foto

Excellent update of information, nice post, thanks for sharing

Lo que se trabaja con dedicacion y esfuerzo germina frutos ya veras que si lo van a lograr. saludos y un fuerte abrazo desde Venezuela.

What you work with dedication and effort germinates fruits you will see if they will achieve it. Greetings and a big hug from Venezuela.

Italy, the best of place for travel with family.

meme! i love the contest! awsome... keep doing what you doing!!!

It's good to travel out of your comfort zone and see the world. That's what i will start doing sometime.. Have a safe journey back home and i prefer the photography contest..

Travel is an amazing way to expand our horizons, experience new and exciting cultures and the grow as a person. It is also quite exhausting in many cases. Sometimes you feel as if you need a vacation from your vacation!

It sounds like even though you're feeling like a hobbit in wanting

...all the comforts of home

you've also recharged creatively and are raring to go on that front. I've enjoyed the posts from Italy and can't wait to see what you get up to once you're back home.

Time to go nest and get ready for the newest Steemian to enter the world :)

very hansome

wow,its really a country great country to always remember, I have been there, I know what it takes to be a citizen of Italy. I missed all the tours I went to.all hail italy.
safe journey back home @cryptoctopus

Thank again for the nice pictures and reports from Italy. I wish you a safe trip back home. And what is your next country in Europe? If you are going to Amsterdam then let me know.. I could also advice to see some other cities in Holland.

I will let you know @rival. We might be looking for a 3 months stay at some point. Somewhere central where we can go visit different countries during the weekend :-)

Great, let me know if i Can be if Any help. Amsterdam is a great place to be for a visit or for a 3 month stay.

Cu👍

This is what living a fulfilled life looks like to me! Travelling to see the beauty of God's creation, having a happy home and praising and worshipping the Almighty God!

Hi dear, @cryptoctopus, i see you love traveling, journey mercies as you and your family return.

There is this new model i wrote about yesterday, would really appreciate it if you could check it out.

https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@cherylsonty/cryptobnb-a-step-closer-to-home-b3483edf7e629

The model is for travellers.

I always enjoy memes contest. Its fun to see how funny people can get.

Hi @cryptoctopus, we have been traveling the Babymoon journey together with you. Italy is such a beautiful, historical and picturesque, that will be an awesome memories to carry and reminisce. When I started following you, I have not yet seen any contest done by you, so if you ask me perhaps Meme will be my favorite. My best wishes for both of you. Take care and Steem On!

Safe travels! :)

It was all fun for you.

I hope you find something new on your adventure?

No words I have, simply saying you are looking so smart in picture. May you live long, healthy and happy.

beautiful scenery to visit.

You must enjoy your trip very much! I feel so much relaxed when I see the blue and fresh color of the beach in the picture ! Glad you come home! :))
