[@marthamurray7005]

Very big thank you to Skye and Nikola for taking us hiking in Portugal. The landscape is stunning. The last hike was gorgeous!

[@amyschneidhorst1384]

This evening I passed a bookstore cafe patron leafing through a stack of Portugal travel books, so Skye and Nikola's segment was very timely.

[@amyschneidhorst1384]

I had no idea Portugal had such mountainous terraine, the Amalfi coast hikes have been excellent training for you. Thank you so much for taking us along with you!

[@rhonaklipp]

I second that!

[@tinabailey4083]

Really enjoyed Skye taking us with her thru beautiful Portugal❤️

[@izibear4462]

Madeira is part of Portugal but is an island out in the Atlantic. It is gorgeous as are the Azores, also out in the Atlantic.

[@thestickerfarm1254]

Skye and Nikola are such a cute couple. I thank them for showing me Portugal. I did not realize it had such beautiful mountainous areas. Carlos and Elizebeth’s family have such a wonderful relationship. Carlo is like a loving uncle to the girls. As always Nicki, your Dad is a treasure. Beautiful people in beautiful places. Blessings to you all

[@blackcatplaypompeii529]

Madeira is a separate Portuguese island. I went on the basket sled ride downhill many years ago-the woman who lived there had arthritis and that was the best way to get her down from her house!

[@thestickerfarm1254]

@@blackcatplaypompeii529 thanks for your comment. Did not know they were on an island. The folks that man that basket ride must be sure footed like a goat, can’t imagine what would happen if they stumbled

[@golfingmags5]

Hi All, super content yet again. Lovely seeing Elizabeth,husband and girls. Skye and Nikola showed us some wonderful walks and even looked like the Grand Canyon at sunset. They got a marvellous welcome home from Holly and Skye. Nicki’s Dad looked well and that was a great job getting all the pans, China, cutlery and two chairs for Tuscany. Bet you wish it was January😂.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@RuthAnnnMorris]

Thank you so very much for the memories of Naples! I lived there for over a year when my husband was in the military. When the ship went out a few of my friends and i went everywhere we could. I had to Volkswagen Bug and I shopped on the Italian markets, we used our rations of cigarettes, booze and gasoline to trade for furniture, household goods and clothes. I was a newlywed in Italy! He was home more than out and it was glorious!! He’s passed away now, but the video brought tears and joy and I thank you… I’m now 70 in a wheelchair. I’ve always wanted to go back… but I can’t live alone and travel would be dangerous. I’m saving this video..

[@annainaspen]

What a great video! Great job as always on editing. A special thank you to Skye, Nikola, and Carlo. All of you did such a great job filming.

[@tonimariehurley]

Yes, I agree. This was the most enjoyable video so far!

[@suzyq6767]

Everything was refreshingly new and interesting. Skye's hikes, Carlo's adventure, and Nickie's homewares scavaging--all of it made me smile for different reasons. Thank you for taking me along, lovely people. Have a beautiful week.

[@EmilyBoltz]

I loved this. Skye is a natural!

[@trinitystarclararose7118]

I do agree with you. It was very refreshing to watch.

[@christine3358]

Wow, thank Skye for taking us along on those gorgeous hikes. The views were incredible!

[@susanfraser6371]

A wonderful video, as always! Special thanks to Skye and Nikola for bringing us along on their incredible hikes in Portugal. What spectacular scenery!

[@judymohre1430]

What a beautiful video. It is filled with breathtaking scenery from Carlo and Sky. Sky's commentary was so detailed. She is definitely very talented with photography and explaining where she is and what she is seeing.Sorry, can't forget to mention Nikola.

[@NickiPositano]

Grazie Judy!❤️💕👋

[@judyrobson4492]

Wow, what a treat👌🤗❤️

[@PaulaSanDiego]

Love, love, love your new intro!!! Skye is a reflection of her mother’s beauty and talents… exploring and stepping us through her adventures with such confidence in her voice. Watching Nicki with her father was heartwarming as well as seeing Nicki’s hand painted chairs. The outpouring of support for the handmade soap gifts and neatly helping to wrap them up to ship… and the support for every euro to the disabled made my eyes water for the spirit of giving back to a great cause. Thank you for kicking off December with collaborated efforts from your beautiful family and friends. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@brendaanderson292]

So well said, Paula. Have a lovely week. 🇨🇦

[@g.christelbecker6349]

Well said, I agree!!!

[@brendaanderson292]

It was so delightful to see Carlo with Elizabeth along with her husband and “Niki’s other daughters” enjoying a day trip together. 💕💕💕💕💕

[@izibear4462]

Agreed, totally.

[@andreeanecula5293]

Very nice to see Elizabeth & the girls again. Beautiful views from the kids trip

[@Truthseeker7072]

Wow! The whole family is filming this week...What great shots of Italy and Portugal. I love the chairs you painted, and all the things you got from your dad!! Wow! What a score.

[@anjoma9746]

I love this time of the year so that we can see more of Elizabeth and the girls

[@samanthab1923]

They have their own channel now. ❤

[@rhanosibransingh7463]

O my gosh..love Skye's vacation epic photo's...

[@marikkabahr1487]

Hi Nicki, this is Marikka from Finland living in Germany, I just saw the brown plates and bowls you got from your father - did you know that they come originally from Finland? It ist called Ruska designed by Arabia. "Arabia Ruska (autumn colours in Finnish) was designed in the 1960's, it was the first of the S-model series made in glazed stoneware. It was also the longest in production, and was made until the year 2000." "Ruska became one of the best selling lines in the history of Arabia Finland. It was specally designed as "oven to table" ware, each piece is oven- and microwave proof." Even nowadays people love this stoneware and try to buy it second hand, they are timeless and will last forever. I just love the fact that you have those!

[@louiseperry6920]

Simply stunning thank you 🙏❤️😍

[@sarawarrener2193]

Loved this video. Skye and Nikolai did a great job showcasing Madeira. What a stunning island. Fantastic drone shots throughout ❤

[@iaiamare]

A family of videographers! Great Job everyone, including the guest stars in each story!

[@Kimberly-it1ry]

This was a very interesting and beautifully edited video with all three of you in your family sharing interests and photography on your different adventures.Carlo is doing very well on his own with friends and Skye is a natural at doing videos and commentary as well…just like her mom🙂. I really enjoyed it and it’s always fun to see the dogs! Kimberly,Toronto 🇨🇦

[@carollloydjones5735]

That was absolutely fabulous! Especially Skye's contribution. She takes after her mum in her ability to record such interesting content ❤ So happy that the soaps sold so well! 👍 Lovely vlog xx

[@clm3436]

Thank you Sky for your contribution! It was so nice to see a part of Portugal we haven't seen before👏

[@vashti2389]

Nicki, you have such a beautiful relationship with your father ❤️ . My father passed away in August, and I have so many regrets. Thank you for sharing your trip with us. 🌎🌏🌍❤️

[@mariedupuis7802]

Parents stay in our heart forever...My mother died two years ago on the first day of the year and my father died 13 years ago on the 3rd of January...the festive period will be always a painful souvenir for me. I understand you ❤❤❤❤

[@jaq837]

I am very sorry for the loss of tour father. I lost my mum two years ago and I know having regrets is a normal part of the grieving process . I once got some previous advice. ' don't concentrate on the regrets you have but in the things you were proud of. The nice things you did for your parents. The moments of joy you brought them, even in what seemed to you like little thing?.' While it might also be' nevessary to process the regrets to heal try to bring in a good measure of pisitivities.

[@NickiPositano]

❤️💕❣️💓😘

[@LauraBellizio]

I am so sorry for your loss. I believe that your father would not want you to feel regret. Think good thoughts and revel in the joy of the life he had with you. My Mother has cancer and this will probably be her last Xmas with us, so I understand how you feel. I try to make the most of it even though it's very bittersweet ❤. Sending you lots of positive and happy vibes.

[@lindagardenlady]

Yes, do not regret a thing! You tell them you live them, do the vest you can and move on all the while remembering how much they love you atill!!! ❤❤❤❤

[@MiloSweet22]

Just a terrific episode! Thanks to all.

[@tonymuniz1062]

Everyone was a star! Skye, carlo, and of course Nikki and harry. What an outstanding video . This was definitely my favorite video of the week!

[@mariviberrios]

Elizabeth is an amazing and very special friend. Congratulations to both of you for a wonderful friendship.❤

[@shelleysimpson3154]

So lovely to see Skye. Totally understand it’s not her jam to be on camera but I feel like she has a bunch of aunties and uncles who really love to see her out and about and enjoying her life :)

[@Helenemonblogdefille]

Thank you so much to the Madeira team for filming these stunning views !!

[@olawaleoladele604]

Had tears in my eyes throughout this episode, not sadness or anything, just sometime deeply beautiful about this episode. Amazing episode Nicki, Carlo and Skye

[@themissdior1235]

I felt the same . Such a lovely family with great friends.

[@rickkelly1241]

All those pots and pans. Crockery, plates, geegaws and doodads. A Fortune!!

[@robinzaleski5]

WOW WOW WOW Italy, UK, and Portugal all in one half hour! This was a truly global episode. Well done Skye and Nikola on the Madeira travelogue, now I want to book a flight to see those amazing views myself!

[@suesmith4289]

How lovely Nikki, to spend time with your lovely dad, its so precious to have these special memories and moments.😊😊😊

[@rickkelly1241]

Well cut. Great editing. Nice flow and continuity. Music was just right. Your stories are an instant vacation...

[@fayetruth4662]

Thank you to everyone who contributed to this Beautiful video❣️😘🥰❤️‍🔥

[@neoanderson726]

I think I like Positano in winter so quiet

[@heatherreynolds4109]

I giggled when Nikola said he felt like Carlo filming 😂❤ great video!

[@lena-roseorlando219]

I’d never be able to do those climbs! Wow…glad they are so young🎉! Nice to see Elizabeth and the girls. Glad Nicki was spending valuable time with her dad.

[@skyeseaborn1170]

Skye, and Nichola a giant personal thank you! I’m a 65 year old Nona, in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. I will never be able to take those beautiful hikes. I deeply appreciate you sharing them. My heart smiles for the love you two share. Through you, I remember the joys of being young. I always love the hikes so much! Your video work was wonderful.

[@amyallen5854]

Your daughter is so lovely. Definitely a mini version of you. I enjoyed her vlog so much. ❤

[@glendahughes6797]

Nice to hear from Skye, her mother's daughter liking the hikes

[@tinathene]

What a lovely combination of videos❤ sorry I missed the inaugural soaps, but I’ll try next time. So cool that you could get a load of excess kitchenware from your Dads and hang out with your brother, too. And the ferry ride with Elisabeth was so interesting and funny in a Carlo twinkly eye kind of way. Skye and Nikola coming into their own at the pinnacle of Madeira, belissima❤💯🐾🐾🥰🥰

[@tessa_gail]

this was such a good one!! all the love to all you beautiful people❤

[@lisalamorey3453]

Skye, those hikes were Epic! Thanks for bringing us along!

[@graceyblossom]

Always such a pleasure to watch. ❤❤❤

[@ttwistedlogic]

So impressed by Skye's pronunciation of Portuguese words, as someone from a Portuguese Azorean family I know it's not easy. Way to go, Skye!

[@lindagardenlady]

Amazing video, amazing editing as usual!! Elizabeth is a very special friend ❤️ 💕 Skye, Portugal is wonderful!! Thanks for bringing us along ❤❤

[@terrygirard674]

Thank you sky what a wonderful adventure and to Carlo and Nicky bravo bravo again ❤

I'm so excited that you sold all the soap you created!

[@tiblanes]

And congratulations to Nicki and Maarta for your great artisan soaps success!

[@joywatts4839]

Thank you to all of you for what you did to take us on your adventures. It was very enjoyable and the editing and music combined it all together harmoniously.

[@maryannevolpato9780]

Awesome video- Skye is a little filmmaker in the making …enjoyed every bit of it! Thankyou Carlo for the beautiful drone work in Procida!

[@amme30]

Great video from your whole family, Madeira looks stunning. Congratulations on your soap success and charity donation.

[@ninasgriccia4652]

Happy to hear of your success with the soaps. Maybe more for Valentine’s Day!

[@gamacaluso]

❤ Your donation to the children warms my heart ❤️

[@karentozer1871]

Wow, I loved all the different films from family and friends❤️ the Mountain View’s in Portugal were AMAZING, thank you all for sharing these films with us xx

[@horatiu70]

I really enjoyed this video showing the calm winter in Positano in the first part and also the second part Madeira

[@clarehart5892]

That chair you painted in school is impressive!

[@keagleeagle821]

Rewatching old videos. I think Skye is natural with presentation. Many of us will watch is she start her Channel.

[@cathtube59]

This video is epic! You’re becoming an entire family of videographers! Carlo, the drone footage of Procida is gorgeous and Skye, your footage from Madeira is incredible-I actually gasped out loud at one point as you emerged from a cave onto a beautiful, misty vista. I’m not sure who edited this one, but the job is masterful and flowed beautifully from segment to segment. Brava e bravo! Nicki, I’m glad you had a nice visit with your dad and were able to see your brother. How fortunate for your family that your dad held on to so much stuff! I loved the set of dishes and I think they will be lovely in your Tuscan home. My soap order arrived this week and is so lovely. I’m so thankful I was able to order in time. I’m getting excited as we’re getting closer to “Tuscany time”! So many exciting things to look forward to in the new year!

[@NewSummitInc]

Thank you for supporting your local non-profit. You have a big heart!

[@susanmorgan995]

Congratulations on selling the soap sets🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉Hope to get a set next time around 😍😘

[@LunaGuinevereStudio]

I love Sky's portion in this video along with Nikola! She's becoming so confident in her narration and in front of the camera. I also love the bond between Nicki and her father and the drone shots of the houses by the water by Carlo, amazing! Leni and her little sister, are so adorable too!!

[@Meg-k1n]

Just love Skye’s melodic accent.

[@1958constance]
