Some of my favorite vacation memories are from an excursion my hubby and I took to Italy 10+ years ago. We had spent the day strolling the streets of Venice--taking in its breathtakingly beautiful history, architecture, and culture.

Still intoxicated by the floating city's magical spell, we boarded and spent the night on a sleeper train, which whisked us off to our next destination along the Amalfi Coast {that's a whole separate post!}. Cozied up in our sleeper car, we drifted off recalling our favorite discoveries from the day--mine being the complete absence of cars and the brief glimpse into the simple and utterly charming Venetian lifestyle. It felt as if we'd stepped back in time and it was every bit as enchanting and romantic as I'd imagined it would be. I attribute my near obsession with vintage train cases to these lingering memories. It's as though these cherished experiences--and the promise of future travel adventures--have been preserved within these charming little beauties.

The satin lining, ruffles, and miniature mirrors truly make me weak in the knees...

You can bet I'll be toting one of these little treasures if I'm ever granted this wish list item. Do you have a favorite travel memory? I'd love to hear about it...

oh those are so beautiful! too beautiful to take for any domestic or international flights!! My favourite travel memory by far is kind of boring but I love it because it is so simple. It is my boyfriend and I doing cryptic crossword puzzles together in our lovely hotel in Penang, Malaysia after a full delicious meal and no noise except for the ceiling fan going.
I'm ready to go... Allll aboard : )
A favorite travel memory is from two summers ago when the Hubs & I went to Amsterdam. We found this perfect, secluded little pub located where three canals meet. For two nights straight we just sat there, enjoyed the beautiful city, the people, the food and of course, the yummy beer!
What a lovely story! I love vintage cases too, which is surprising since I lamented the fact that I had to use a beat up suitcase when I was young and broke!
My favorite travel memory is no doubt my honeymoon to Paris. Bare minimum hotel, not one fancy dinner, but the best week of my life.
Walking, talking, cuddling and memory making.
I have a travelling hat box - with the travelling tag, belonging to my great aunt, still attached. She was travelling to Sydney from Wollongong. Gorgeous. I blogged about it here: http://katiecrackernuts.blogspot.com/2008/07/off-i-go.html
Oh my goodness...I'm loving all of your travel stories. Thank you for sharing. Keep em coming!
There is something not only nostalgic but romantic about a small train case that would fit all the essentials for a quick, short getaway. I had a black watch plaid round one with a loop handle. I think my sis had a red plaid one.
Favorite travel memory...waiting for two very special individuals to pull into the train station in Florence on their way from Rome. The next three days were fabulous!

Tissy...the only downside of that memorable day in Venice was bidding farewell to two very special individuals before boarding our train. A fabulous 3 days indeed.

Oh, how incredibly lovely Suzanne....that sounds like pure heaven. One of my favorite travel memories is sitting outside the Chagall museum in Paris with Joel, sipping something cool to drink and taking in all the lavender. *sigh*
