About Me
New to Digital Scrapbooking, just started in 2019, want to make a record of family stories before my mother passes away. My dad died in 2016. I currently live in Canada but was born and raised in New Zealand, and emigrated to Canada upon marrying my Canadian spouse. Home Country - lets see - New Zealand or Canada? Which to choose? Most of my photos will be from NZ, but any pics of my son will be from Canada. MY IP Address will say that I am in Canada which is fine. My mother and sister are still back in NZ so I will make my home country as NZ for now. For Facebook, I dont check it every day - I am not addicted to FB, and I use a different name for privacy. My image is myself as a child - aged about 2 or 3 years old

While I am on the Amalfi coast, I would also want to go and visit the 2 old cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum that were destroyed by the eruption of Mt Vesuvius in 79 CE (I think?).
This is the eruption in which Pliny the Elder died and that his nephew, Pliny the Younger, wrote about in his books.
There have been some beautiful frescos and mosaics uncovered in the last century or so, and visitors can get a real sense of what life was like in Roman times, by walking through these ancient cities.
