Positive Reinforcement/ Negative Behavior: ( Gypsy Travel vs Travel with adventurous abandon)
Note: An Accommodating Holiday, leads to another dream holiday. Wherever I travel, I like to consider a future trip, to the same or similar destination. Why repeat the same or a similar trip? Experience travel don’t have a travel experience. Sure there is a difference. Leisure travel should be an experience that is desirable, one you’d like to repeat. The later, a travel experience is more like a tale that you would never want to repeat. A tale of adventurous abandon, full of adventure, that lacks solid preparation or regard for leisure. Instead the embrace of Adventure is consuming; yet unfulfilling. This type of traveler is on a quest to conquer, and is not a gypsy traveler.
Noteworthy: a well planned trip has balance between well planned excursions, with professional knowledgeable hosts, and a solid ” home base”, an accommodation, that is designed to meet your needs. A Haven.

Music that Calls
About: A Neapolitan song, music that beckons you.
According to Wikipedia
“Torna a Surriento” (pronounced [ˈtɔrn a ssurˈrjendə]) is a Neapolitan song composed in 1902 by Italian musician Ernesto De Curtis to words by his brother, the poet and painter Giambattista De Curtis. The song was copyrighted officially in 1905, and has since become one of the most popular songs of this traditional genre, which include others such as O sole mio, Funiculì funiculà, and Santa Lucia.
Written in Italian
Neapolitan lyrics (“Torna a Surriento”)
Vide ‘o mare quant’è bello,
spira tantu sentimento,
Comme tu a chi tieni mente,
Ca scetato ‘o fai sunnà.
Guarda gua’ chistu ciardino;
Siente, sie’ sti ciur’ arance:
Nu prufumo accussi fino
Dinto ‘o core se ne va…
E tu dice: “I’ parto, addio!”
T’alluntane da stu core…
Da sta terra del l’ammore…
Tieni ‘o core ‘e nun turnà?
Ma nun me lassà,
Nun darme stu turmiento!
Torna a Surriento,
Famme campà!
Vid’o mare de Surriento,
che tesoro tene nfunno:
chi ha girato tutto ‘o munno
nun l’ha visto comme’a ccà.
Vide attuorno sti Sirene,
ca te guardano ‘ncantate,
e te vonno tantu bene…
Te vulessero vasà.
E tu dice: “I’ parto, addio!”
T’alluntane da stu core
Da sta terra de l’ammore
Tiene ‘o core ‘e nun turnà?
Ma nun me lassà,
Nun darme stu turmiento!
Torna a Surriento,
Famme campà!
English translation (“Come Back to Sorrento”)
Look at the sea, how beautiful it is,
it inspires so many emotions,
like you do with the people you look at,
who you make to dream while they are still awake.
Look at this garden
and the scent of these oranges,
such a fine perfume,
it goes straight into your heart,
And you say: “I am leaving, goodbye.”
You go away from this heart of mine,
away from this land of love,
And you have the heart not to come back.
But do not go away,
do not give me this pain.
Come back to Surriento,
let me live!
Look at the sea of Surriento,
what a treasure it is!
Even who has travelled all over the world,
he has never seen a sea like this one.
Look at these mermaids
that stare, amazed, at you,
that love you so much.
They would like to kiss you,
And you say: “I am leaving, goodbye.”
You go away from my heart,
away from the land of love,
And you have the heart not to come back.
But please do not go away,
do not give me this pain.
Come back to Surriento,
let me live!
