    From NY, Ciao! This is best people channel on TH-cam! It is filled with the most down to earth and interesting family and friends! It is full of glorious photography, great editing, different places, local celebrations, food, etc....they make it seem so easy in the way they take us with them making everyday situations so engrossing and full of heart. This is hard work on their part and yet they make it seem effortless. Let's get Nicki and Carlo to a well deserved million subscribers starting with hitting the 200k mark by Christmas! You can hit the bell, subscribe for nothing, and it supports them. It's our way of saying grazie.

      You are so busy, but I would really like to see a video from BOTH of you (“more professional and less professional“ - ha ha) of hints you’ve learned for taking footage and also editing basics. I’m here in Kyoto, Japan, and your videos are so enjoyable for me, I would really like to do the same for others! ❤
      Thank you for sharing your lives with us! Can’t wait to see Prague! 😊

    So glad Carlo’s surgery went well. I want to thank you for introducing us to Sara and Luca. I look forward to videos from both of you every Sunday. Nicki, I discovered you at the beginning of Covid and you helped me stay sane. It’s been wonderful seeing how you live in another part of the world. Chow from New Jersey

    I enjoyed Elizabeth's footage and Pepe's commentary; it was very informative. I had no idea just how rough and wild the sea became in the winter months. I expected the occasional storm but didn't expect it to be generally so rough.

    Loved Elizabeth's filming part, incredible aftermath of the storm and Pepe's description of the storm was very informative. Had no idea Pepe commanded the English language so well, Elizabeth and Pepe should do more mini filming within your videos and maybe give us a view on what their family does during the off season.🙂. Hope you enjoyed your time alone Nicki💕......... Can't wait to see Carlo's video on his vacation with the kids😊

    Nice to know Carlo and the kids are still taking bonding-time trips together. Pastina (Carlo's food in hospital), with egg and butter is still the go to food dish in my family when someone is not feeling well. For me, delighted to see the pasta fagioli dish prepared by Carlo's parents. I love the weather report by the sea from Pepe and Elizabeth. Thank you for the much appreciated videos.

    Glad all went well with Carlo’s procedure. Kidney stones are no joke. Its amazing how different things look in Positano in winter and how dramatic the weather can become. I will look forward to seeing Carlos’ video of his trip with the kids to Prague-I love that be takes special trips with them. Good dad! As always, thanks for entertaining me on my Sunday afternoon, Nicki!

    Carlos is such a natural behind the camera and really looking forward to seeing his “creativity” from the trip. I love a good winter storm to snuggle by the fireplace and read. Makes us appreciate the beautiful change of seasons. Thanks again for sharing your lives and beautiful village. See ya next Sunday.

    I'm happy to see the surgery went well for Carlo and he was able to travel to Prague with his children. But I have a question. How was Carlo able to manage the stairs going back to the house after the surgery? It must have been painful. I look forward to seeing Carlo's video from Prague and I'm sure it will be enjoyable!

I love being around older Italians and listening to their stories ❤️ In a few days it will be 1 year since my 94 year old Sicilian Father-in-law passed away and I am especially missing him during the holidays. I’m wondering if the horrible storm is the same one that hit Ischia. 🙏🏻 It was nice to have Pepe explain the winter storms in Positano! Thank you Nicki and Carlo … 💕ByeBye 🥰🤗🍋

    Glad your operation went smoothly Carlo, it was interesting to learn about the Italian health care system. From rough wild seas to the beautiful colours of the plants, winter in Positano is very different from ours. Just got out of a frigid cold 🥶 week of -30 to -35 temperatures. So thank you for the videos, makes the cold winter days here in Alberta Canada much more bearable 😊. ❤ 🇮🇹

    Happy to see Carlo recuperating and doing well. That storm was brutal! We had it here on Procida and, fortunately for us, didn't suffer like over on Ischia. Peppe's piece was perfect, as you need to respect the sea and he made that clear. Glad all of you are safe and well. I'm really looking forward to Carlo's video on Prague. It's one of our favorite European cities! We haven't been back in quite a few years, but talking about Christmas time 2023. Looking forward to seeing everything Skye, Tommaso and Carlo did while there. Thanks for yet another really great video, Nicki!

    Oh that ocean was so beautiful, I love the seaside in winter with storms. So glad Carlos is feeling better, those stone can be so painful when they move on through. Holly and Indie on the beach made me think of my own dogs that have since passed on, they were the same color and size as yours and they would play like that every day, it was a wonderful sight to see it played out again with your pups! 💜💜

    I love watching your videos. They are a special treat every Sunday. today was like watching a picture post card come to life. Personally I love the winter storms on the coast. In Paris we used to complain about "le grisatre" because being gray every day gets a bit tedious not to mention depressing. A good storm is always a nice reset.

So lovely to see Elizabeth and Peppe too and how right he is, experience and much respect for the sea. Thank you xx

    Dear Carlos & Nikki: I'm glad you are doing well Carlos after your surgery while staying in a private room with a view no less. The food looked bland but probably still was good after 24 hours fasting. That storm in Positano was quite dramatic with surging waves, rain, and snow. I can see why Elizabeth has to close Blue Start boat tours at the end of the summer. Great that they have a safe place to tuck Nikki and Carlos' kayaks along with the other small boats. Ciao till next time! Jenny USA

  • @danarodgers8736
    @danarodgers8736 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Nicki & Carlos- To me, every video you share with us is special but this one was also important for my peace of mind. The timing of it couldn’t have been better… Last year, my husband went away to live with the angels. His doctors had told us the average time he had was around 7 years after diagnosis- sadly, we only had three. We were married for 34 years, and he was my best friend. He had so much life in him, and to lose him at only 56 broke my heart..The dynamic between the two of you always reminds me so much of the way we were together. I think that’s one of the reasons I’ve been watching your videos since I stumbled across your channel years ago.. When he was first diagnosed 4 years ago, we were in the process of finally realizing our dream to permanently move to Italy. He was an airline pilot and was senior enough he’d only have to commute to NY for work 3 times a month. He was already commuting 6 hours to work from where we lived, so in that aspect, it really wouldn’t have been much different. We’ve traveled many times to Italy, and seen a great deal of the country. We loved every bit of it, but the Amalfi coast was our favorite. He especially loved Sorrento…Once he was diagnosed, I sold our house and we came to Italy. We came very close to buying a flat, but ultimately decided he should spend whatever time he had left with family so after a couple of months, we went back to the States and bought a house 10 minutes from his Dad. While he still was able to speak, he made me promise that I would follow through on our dream. I tried to explain it wouldn’t be the same without him, but he was determined I would give him my word to move here, so I promised I would. It’s been the challenge of my life in the last year to try and create a life without him in it. I’m lost without him, but I’m trying to keep looking ahead..💔 Right now, I’m in Italy again, on another reconnaissance mission to find the place to call home, but tomorrow, I return to Florida for the holidays, because my quarantine time is officially over. Unfortunately, while I was here, I contracted Covid and had to go to the local hospital. It was not at all a good experience. I have been working on the language, but unfortunately, none of what I’ve learned thus far applies to a medical situation so that in itself was a challenge. The worst part was the doctors and nurses were clearly overworked- the place was SO crowded, people were on cots lining the hallway. It was chaos. I felt so bad for the medical staff there because they were obviously stressed and overwhelmed, and with good reason. I felt so sick, and very weak, and once I tested positive, they put me in a tiny metal chair, in the corner of a room with one bed that was occupied by an elderly lady, probably in her 90’s. I was so scared I’d pass Covid to her because I ended up sitting there in her room for 7 HOURS until they finally came back with results of X-rays, etc. I tried to ask if she had Covid, using a translator on my phone, but she couldn’t understand me. She seemed very confused and disoriented… The day after, I had four huge bruises from the rushed blood draws/IV… I won’t share the name of the town because I don’t want anyone to feel like I mean this to be critical of them, but I will say the population is around 100k. Which brings me to my point of this novel… Please tell me that this was an anomaly and that when/if hospital care is ever a necessity, it won’t be a repeat of this experience. I was SO happy and relieved to see in this video that Carlos was in a comfortable place and seemed to be very well taken care of. I’m hoping and praying that’s the norm. I’m generally healthy but have some issues with my thyroid and I’d so appreciate reassurance that the healthcare system is there if ever I were to need it. I’m sorry for the lengthy post, I hadn’t intended to write a novel.😔On a brighter note, thank you both so much for all that you do to share your life in Paradise with us all. I always find myself smiling when I’m watching you two!🇮🇹🌼🌱💕

      @NickiPositano  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Dana, first of all we want to thank you for watching our videos and for commenting, there is no doubt that you have had some horrible experiences, and somehow, even if indirectly I can understand you, I have lived a long time for the my past work, with many aspects concerning death, and the loss of loved ones, certainly it wasn't my parents or wife/husband or worse my children who had gone further, but do you know in more than 40 years many aspects of these problems got under my skin, up to my heart, I don't want to be misunderstood, working in a cemetery and having to deal with death is not the same thing as suffering the loss of a loved one firsthand, but I know well the interactions, the various ways of dealing with the pain of these losses, I would say (but this is only my interpretation of why these bad things happen) that unfortunately you have really been an "unfortunate" person in recent years.
      Actually for me other than being "unlucky" the only real reason why these bad things happen to us, is that this is the reality of life, and there are no other reasons.
      As far as hospitals in Italy are concerned, it is clear that during the covid period many things didn't work well, and even before and now, it's not that Italian hospitals work very well, but in general I could say that they are acceptable, and in some cases there are hospitals that are excellent, but unfortunately I have to generalize, in northern Italy the health system works better!
      We wish you our best wishes for a peaceful life and more "luck"💕😘❤️

    I’m glad Carlo is okay after his surgery. I can’t believe the rough seas and the mess on the beach from the strong waves. Take care of yourselves.

    So glad it was nothing too serious for Carlo at the hospital, and wow such a difference from the lovely calm sea of the summer. Mother Nature can be wild and crazy at times.

    Omg Carlo you are HALARIOUSE!!! I died when you told Nicky how much you love her while she was eating her soup!!! I had to watch it over and over. Each time funnier and funnier. Nicky you are so awesome! I love you guys together and I am sooooo glad you left that perfect part in. That is real life, unscripted and just so genuine!
    I am so glad you are doing well Carlo and it was nothing too serious. I can’t tell you how much joy you both bring to so many peoples lives, including mine. I was so worried when I saw the thumb nail and now so relieved! Thanks for all that you share with us. Your videos are amazing and really make me smile 😂

    Hi Nicki and Carlo. Thank you again for showing what life is like for you in your part of the world. I love your garden by the way at all turns of the year. Please always keep it real. I like how Elizabeth and her husband explained the weather conditions and why work has to shut down at fall. Most viewers that are not from your part of the world will not understand it if you don’t explain why. So thank you and happy holidays from California.

    I, too, wondered how Carlo managed all the stairs after surgery, I am glad to hear that was not a problem. So nice to have time with the kids, too! I enjoy all of the videos Nicki and Carlo and family do. I will be in Amalfi for 12 nights next October and keep noticing different places I want to see while there through your videos.

    Just wanted you to know that I loved your vlogmas videos last year, the traditional musical instruments were great and the little ones and the parade of cars through the streets, your work is incredible and I hope you know we loved and appreciated them all, and will do so in the future. All the best to Carlo in recovery. Look forward to the Prague video as my husband is from Czechia and we have visited often, love it also. The Christmas markets in Europe are all fabulous, spent one Christmas going around to all the markets in Europe, Vienna, Prague and all the village markets in Czechia, it was so lovely. And the food!!! and wine.

    With the motorway food looking like a beautiful buffet (made my head spin), the hospital rooms for two, including that food, even the pastina, I have to ask myself, WTH am I doing right now living in Canada, Big thank you to Elizabeth and her husband.

    Happy Sunday, I'm glad to hear Carlo is fine. Carlo setting his alarm on his phone to call his mama, made me smile, cause I get in trouble all the time from my mama . Pepe and Elizabeth really give you a real prospective of the ups and down of working on the sea. Nikki , Thank You for bringing us along 💗

    Glad to see Carlo is doing just fine after surgery. Nicki's canaloni looked far better than my town's hospital food. Carlo's looked awful. The food at the service station looked phenomenal. Was nice to have Elizabeth and her husband sort of in the video. Enjoyed this very much. Looking forward to Carlos and the kids trip video too.

    I had reason to be in the hospital in Seattle 4 times this spring/summer. They had a menu for patients to order from any time from early morning to late night. They offered quite a variety of foods. Watching the food you had I appreciated even more what I was offered!

  • @patmooney2101

    So enjoyed the video! I was worried when I saw “hospital” but I was very happy and relieved to see it was minor. It’s good to see you all happy, healthy, and battening down the hatches for winter. Can’t wait to see the Prague video! Best wishes. Marlene 😊
