Ireland was the second and final country of my first International Trip. My husband and I went to Italy and Ireland in 2014 on our honeymoon. 

Bryce and I are both part Irish and we first met in an Irish pub in Honolulu, Hawaii, so visiting Ireland was a must for us. If that weren't enough reason for us to go, Penn State, my Alma Mater, was playing (American) football there! Our whole trip revolved around that game which we ended up winning in double overtime. 

We spent several days touring around the Emerald Isle before settling into Dublin for the weekend and football game. This adventure took us to several cities, towns, and landmarks and all over the roads, via the left side of the road and right side of the car (for me, the driver).

Ireland is the inspiration for the second Figs and Flights {event}. The celebration of Irish Hospitality will take place on Friday, May 17 at our favorite Irish pub in Seattle, Shawn O'Donnell's. 

The very first Figs and Flights {event} was a success! To sum it up in just a few words the event was fun, scary, and worth it.

My adrenaline was high all night and my nerves really kicked in just before I spoke to the entire room. Once that was done I was able to enjoy myself, a glass of wine, and the wonderful food and company.

Relive the night with me, whether you were around for the original event or not.

Tonight is the very first Figs and Flights {event}, Neapolitan Pizza! I'm so excited and ready to get the (pizza) party started.

Today is also the first day to get your tickets to next month's event, Irish Hospitality on Friday, May 17. 

From now until May 3, tickets are $38. From May 3 until May 13, or until tickets sell out, tickets are $44 each. The early bird gets the soda bread, that's what they say!

Fav 5 Travel Guides are a short list of the best things I've found to do, see, eat, or drink in a particular location. This guide is for Napoli, or Naples, the city in Italy.

Look no further for more on International Travel or Fav 5 Travel Guides within the US.

Napoli or Naples, is a Italian city on the coast of "the boot." The city was one of the stops on my first visit to Italy in 2014 and it is the birthplace of pizza. 

Our first stop on that Italian trip was to Roma, or Rome. There my husband and I became friends with Vincenzo, a Napoli native who worked at our hotel. He is so kind and so funny, and we're still Facebook friends today. He hand wrote a guide for us to have the best experience in his hometown. That, my friends, is a perfect example of the connections that travel will bring you. Vincenzo showed us the Neapolitan way and I'm here to share that wealth with you.

Neapolitan pizza is also the inspiration for the very first Figs and Flights {Event}. With this event happening in a week, I decided it's finally time to write about my visit to Napoli.

If you're in Seattle and haven't bought your tickets for next Friday, April 12, now is your time!

Happy Friday! I am thrilled, excited, and terrified to tell you that tickets are on sale for the first Figs and Flights {event}. 

The Neapolitan Pizza Event is two weeks from today and tickets are available now. They'll be available they sell out or until April 9, whichever comes first.
