[@leaw]

It was so nice to meet you again Nicki! Celine is adorable and we miss Carlo!! Let’s meet up very soon ❤️❤️😘

[@NickiPositano]

Let's figure out where is halfway between our house and yours and we can meet there! I wish you live closer 😘

[@mapuanakupuna3471]

Congrats on ur pregnancy & getting engaged! Loved those videos!

[@katd1026]

CONGRATS ON BABY!!!

[@YasminBendror]

So great to see you guys meet up again!!!! Loved this video! Congrats Sara + Luca. You are going to have a beautiful bambino/bambina ♥️ PS: Don’t get hung up with the number of subscribers and vanity metrics! Who cares how many followers you have? It’s quality over quantity. And most big accounts on social media are fake! Concentrate on continuing to provide quality, great interesting enjoyable videos and a lovely positive authentic message that inspires and makes other people happy! Follows will come organically bc of your content ♥️🙏🏻💥

[@tamarasussexsquadbertolini8421]

Congratulations on your little new addition to the leaw Family ❤️

[@robertmahler8894]

As much as these stairs are a nuisance, they are probably the main contributing factor that you stay healthy, slim, and fit, your heart and knees will thank them in your later years .

[@slapstickdome9797]

Ya but realizing you forgot something and have to go back, yuck!

[@Delonito1]

Agree. Considering the daytime meal involves cheese quite often.. At least on videos

[@annmariegiallonardo4852]

Yes, I wan to know more about that ELEVATOR Carlo mentioned last week that is under construction - life-changing!

[@marnienorris]

@@slapstickdome9797 that’s when you buy it at the store somewhere

[@va9502]

Very nice plaza. Also the visit like in Italian movies I have seen.

[@chrystaltuckness5298]

My family fell in love with the town of Lucca so entirely, we named our dog Lucca!

[@luisadurante316]

thank you for being honest about skye and the arguement. So many times we are left with the feeling that compared to youtube families...ours are the worst. Nice to see you have a stubborn child that doesnt listen to you too. 😜

[@RainForestSoul]

This absolutely sounds crazy because I am a homeless American living in Florida but I want to move to Italy so badly. Everyone lives with such passion and Italian is such a beautiful language. I actually started learning to speak Italian through a language app. The food looks marvelous, especially the sweets. For now, I will just have to experience Italy vicariously through you and Carlo.

[@tsocanuck]

i just can't say enough how beautiful these small cities/towns are in Italy ..wow

[@abqresident4461]

Nothing completes your heart like an old and dear friend.

[@MsVitaMaria]

Nicki, love your reality… coping with those stairs, your daughter, getting lost, reuniting with Celine, reuniting with surprise guests Sara & Luca & having pizza!! Excellent show!!!

[@COEXIST-ny4db]

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE Celine's house!! I mean.... How absolutely adorable is it??? Another wonderful video!! Thanks again Nicki!!

[@kemikemi]

LOVING!!!...Celine's sense of humor always, when she said "YOUR TAXIS AWAITS MA'AM"...Nothing like a beautiful! childhood friendship, and the story of how you both met since you were 8yrs young, and have stayed friends through the years. It's priceless! How nice to see Sara & Luca drop by to visit. Thank you! Nicki for this lovely! Sunday vlog.

[@Romy2809-y5o]

what an incredible friendship! Just two best friends sitting on a bench, being happy and sharing their ice cream! made me so happy :)

[@glendacloud2911]

That was so sweet! I still have friends I met at summer camp when I was eight and I’m almost 70 now. Sweet sweet memories.

[@paulfreitag8267]

Thanks for another great video! I came across your channel more than a year ago when I was watching and researching everything Italy on KZbin because I wanted to move to Italy from the USA. Now as I watch this, I can hear the bells from the Basilica di Santa Croce in my little apartment in Florence!!! I have been here for one week now. Thanks for being part of my dream of living in Italy!

[@thelittleredtina]

That’s fantastic to hear you are living a dream! So inspiring.

[@paulfreitag8267]

@@thelittleredtina Grazie!

[@dianalewis8548]

Congrats to you.

[@katalinas9264]

Way to make things happen! Congrats!

[@SamFournier]

I love that you made that dream a reality ❤️

[@avacordova3649]

The videos that Nicki and Carlo create are excellent!! They aren't fluffy or pretentious, just real life and some bare-bones experiences. Exactly how life really is. I love these and their family!

[@jtpaar1732]

Not everyone can say they have a childhood friend who is STILL a friend! Another lovely day in the life of Niki and Carlo...thank you for sharing.

[@Cwgrlk8SanDiego]

Exciting news on the new baby for Sara and Luca! Absolutely LOVE this video... Lucca, Vicopisano....

[@patriciahall2223]

What a lovely time in Tuscany meeting up with your friends , Luca is beautiful beautiful Italia .....Thank you Nicki for a lovely video .

[@AvaT42]

What a beautiful city Luca is! When we were outside I imagined it to be all cramped and crowded with buildings, and it was not! Such lovely wide streets and the walkway on top of the wall is just lovely. Another great vlog from Nicki❣️

[@annmariegiallonardo4852]

Yes, and the number of concerts that happen there - who knew?!

[@lisabill8877]

I am dreaming. The only time I would ever go to Italy is looking at a video. Italy looks stunning 😍

[@chadroberts7607]

Thank you so much for this! I can't tell you how much I look forward to your videos....they're like a mini holiday!! Xo

[@cherin6703]

Oh I loved this video! My husband and I stayed in Casa Columba in Vicopisano in August. We'd been corresponding with Marie for over a year as we were supposed to go in 2020. Marie and Lorenzo are the best hosts and it brought back so many memories to recognize the exact places we were at. We climbed the fortress before the staircase was opened and the little cafe you stopped at during the rain was just getting ready to open when we were there. I look forward to watching you and Carlo visit later this year. Thank you Nicki for all your videos. Love your channel.

[@delnorth]

Nicki, thank you for sharing your travel with us. What a lovely time with your friends and delicious foods. You’re so blessed. I love your sunglasses. ❤

[@mapuanakupuna3471]

Loved the adventures!! It's wonderful to see friendships that last a lifetime! Aloha nui to u all, Nicki, Carlos, Celine, Sara & Luca!!

[@moiragoldsmith7052]

Isn't it fabulous you are still friends after all these years. Thank God for people who love us for no reason other than they love us💝

[@BayouSonya]

Loved this weeks episode…it was so good to see Celine again…such a sweet friend! I cried when I saw you hug Sara & Luca…such a treat to see them with you again! I follow them now thanks to seeing them on your videos. I just love Sara and Luca and so happy about their upcoming wedding and baby!!❤️All my love…Sonya

[@lanajackson3730]

So nice to meet your friend Celine! Also that you have remained close friends for so many years. I lost my best friend, Sharon, after 45 years. Good to see Sara & Luca and hearing about their baby! Just love your channel. 💕🙂

[@lanadobritchanin1182]

Love, love! Your videos! I continue to reminisce and share with friends who've also lived in Italy or those who dream of going! Thanks! Xoxox

[@rebekahlow8375]

Those stairs are brutal! I don't think I'd pack a thing. I'd just by new stuff every time I left the house and give it away before I got home. Thank you for this wonderful video!!!!!!!!!!!! Love from Vermont

[@vanessaschofield7927]

Thankyou nicki maria celine sara and luca. The town of lucca and village's were stunningly beautiful . the clours the gardens the scenry wow. the walled walkway where its wide and you ca walk all around the town was amazing. Thankyou nicki for taking us with you so to speak i appreciated every moment and the time you take to edit the videos.

[@clivetaylor27]

Lovely views of magnificent Tuscany. I miss the ocean. And kudos to an English chef thriving in Italian cuisine.

[@debbieblakely4848]

What a wonderful visit to your friends! And another surprise from LEAW! Congratulations on your wonderful news! Stay safe everyone! Love from Canada ♥️🇨🇦

[@mariaslibeck9984]

Such wonderful friendships you have, Nicki! And those peppers are the most beautiful shade of “Christmas!”

[@mihaelaclaudiap..2]

i'm a light packer as well, I used to carry a lot but not any more, the less the better! Welcome to my lovely Tuscany Nikki! Giovanni, the keeper of the castle! And I will be the princess! Airbnb in an old medieval tower, how cool is that! i wouldn't mind a night or two over there! Great fun you had, ladies! Amazing footage as always!! xx

[@taylorjones7174]

Omg!!!! I love Luca and Sara!!!! I so excited you got to meet up with them! They are just lovely! Hope you all had a great time! This vlog brought so much joy. Thank you for posting! 💜💕

Tuscany is so beautiful.Love Italy such an amazing country.

[@maryaflleje9830]

Ciao Nicki, Italy is so stunning no matter what kind of weather. So happy you got to spend time with Celine and bring us on your trip. Its always a pleasure coming along with you. Hello to Carlo and see you on the next adventure 👋💗

[@scandarani2]

As always a great video. You present Italian country, cities, food etc in such a wonderful pleasant way that you definitely deserve an honorary medal from the President.. P.S. great music today, thank you Nicky and friends...

[@elaineedwards2530]

Beautiful people, and beautiful scenery! I loved the surprise visit from Sara and Luca. From watching all their videos, and yours, it was like meeting up with old friends. A great way to way up to a Thanksgiving Sunday in Canada.

[@melodywollen4316]

Soooo love all your videos. Went to Lucca 2019 as part of our wonderful special to Italy with my adult daughters. Will cherish till my dying day. Can only hope to redo. Thank you so much.

[@Bexatronica1]

Yet another wonderful piece! I also admire that you kept your composure when you had a few hiccups! Brava!

[@tahoeblue2491]

That was a wonderful excursion to be with your friend and show us the beautiful sites. Thanks for bring us along. Cheers!

[@monica-NJ-123]

Love watching your videos Nicki , looks like you have alot of fun and your friends are all so special , congrats to Sara and Luca on the good news 😀 ❤

[@jeffreygatrall]

What a treat! I have walked all the way around the walls of both Lucca and Chester, England. Thanks so much!

[@georgejobe961]

That was fun Niki. Nice to see you with your friends in Tuscany. It’s also a lovely part of Italy, and nice that you had a break away from Positano. We have been back from Sorrento for a week now, and already miss the place. I heard that there was thunder and lightening the week after we left, how lucky were we to get such lovely weather for our two weeks there. Thanks for showing us the beauty of Tuscany, hope you had fun!

[@missmollygoodgolly6088]

So glad I found your channel Nicki! I need some of that beautiful Italian scenery at the end of the day, and I like how informative you are on all the historic buildings and areas. Makes it even more enjoyable!

[@jenniferjones7297]

What a sweet trip. Enjoyed Celine and Marie. Will def look up her airbnb for our upcoming trip!

[@medameda1938]

Thank you for showing us beauty of Tuscany!🥂🥂🥂I love it!!!Beautiful friendship.🍹

[@mariateresamccaffrey5318]

Thank you for taking us on your trip to visit Celine! She is fun and young at heart just like you! Childhood friendships are the best! When Luca and Sara showed up, I was cheering too! Baby LEAW!!! Safe travels back home!

[@dest1754]

Hi Nicki, I've been watching your videos for a year now and I can't believe that we are going to Sorrento in a few days. It feels like I've been to the Amalfi coast already. If it wasn't for your videos showing what it's really like living there, I might not have come to this area of Italy at all. I always saw it as this super glamorous, glitzy place that I had no desire to visit. Thank you and keep making more videos!

[@theceramicrepairstudio]

I would love to be having a relaxing time in Italy. Looks amazing. 💕🍀

[@daviddeveau5101]

I follow you and of course Luca and Sarah and I absolutely love Celine's facial expressions - to die for. Love to you all.

[@chantalfournier2450]

Thank you for sharing your adventure to Tuscany. Your friendship with Celine since you’re 8 years old is amazing. Lucca is on my bucket list and now you made me discover Vicopisano! 💙🇮🇹

[@jessicabey275]

I love Sara and Luca those to are so sweet! Tuscany and that little town is so beautiful!

[@leerobins749]

Thank you for another gorgeous uplifting video...I did feel sorry for you when you had to go back down for your laptop...you made it safely and had a fun time as I did thanks. .

[@artinstinct8075]

Your channel always makes me so happy. Thank very much for sharing your adventures.

[@sarawarrener2193]

Great video. Enjoyed seeing more of your friend Celine , Luca and Sara and meeting Marie😊

[@louiseperry6920]

Beautiful video, lovely to see Celine, Lucca and Tuscany. Great to see Sarah and Luca as well 😘

[@granifulano]

I don't know how you do the stair climbing. Even though it is gruelling to get up and down them, your heart, lungs, and muscles are all thanking you in unison. The kind of exercise you get doing this will keep you younger decades longer, Nicki. Keep up the good work, to inspire us to get off our ourses and get moving!

[@annortolaza6401]

Tuscany que Bella!! I loved everything from the landscape to the quisine that your friend the Chef cooked. The muddy converses was funny 🤗. I love your story of how you worked that time for Andrea Bocelli ❤️. TY Nicki for taking us with you 🙏 your ride home went well. Pet to sweet Holley girl! 🎉🇮🇹

[@wendyzazgad4418]

Smiling at you both sharing ice cream wonderful

[@richardkaz2336]

I can only remember a bit of Lucca mid September, the wall and the towers we climbed up. We walked every where. We base in Firenze for a few days and did satilite day trips to Lucca, San Gimignano, Volterra and many other towns on top of hills so many called Monte... It was so nice of you to share Nicki. Really enjoy your trips. 10 Oct 2014 was our last day in Itally Como and Milan before a cramped 23hr flight home not much fun with my long legs.

[@fredasdaughter]

A lovely trip with surprises. The best kind.

[@sarahb5539]

Suggestion: Put checklist by the door for everytime you leave the house. Purse, makeup, camera, laptop, things to drop off, list of groceries needed (check fridge), etc.

[@barbarawillis5187]

Nice that you and Celine have remained close friends since childhood. Great video.

[@delzanelson4590]

We were in Lucca, thank you for the reminiscing, beautiful place and great gelato in the city!

[@francesponte5573]

This was lovely, thank you for sharing. Looks like a fabulous place to visit or live. It’s great when friends meet up, even better with such happy news 👶 So great coincidences in your life too, I believe everything (good and bad) happens for a reason. Maybe your argument with Sky preventing your original departure was actually a good thing, stopping you from travelling such a long distance on your own whilst tired and late at night! Also I bet you made up with Sky before bed that day. Take care and stay safe. X

[@janicemarsh1669]

As usual so lovely to be part of your travels. Love Lucca and the surrounding villages. Sigh!

[@maddiedelvalle7327]

It’s always great to spend time with a special friend. What a nice adventure. Nikki much appreciated!

[@barbaraknispel8294]

Yes there are tradeoffs for living in Positano but personally I think they out surpass living elsewhere. The world is so divided that if we took some of the dolce vita of most Italian life how much more content we would be. The people atmosphere food and just enjoying is wonderful. When we visited Lucca we thought it a charming city. Thanks again Nikki for another lovely adventure and sharing your friendships . When I watch your videos I feel like I too am one of the girls. Grazi!

[@louisegatti9262]

Great vlog today....so much fun. That is really awesome to have a friend for so many years and you can always pick up where you left off. That dessert look delicious oh and the ice cream too!! How fun running into Sara and Luca and meeting them again half way between your homes will be an epic vlog, of course!!! I don't think there is any place in Italy that is not beautiful!!!!! God sure did a good job creating this world and Italy was a favorite, bella, bella!!

[@SemperFiMom88]

How much fun was this trip?? It was nice to meet your friend Celine again and it was wonderful seeing Sara and Luca! Can't wait to "meet" their baby...such fantastic news! Thank you for sharing Tuscany with us!!🥰🥰🥰

[@danapapamanole2122]

And another wonderful video again Nicki,thank you!

[@cherylanderson3340]

Everywhere you go in Italy is so beautiful & your friends are too! Had first seen the vid of you & Celine at a villa where she prepared a meal for a group. Then to see Lucca & Sara join you all was so nice too. They announced their baby Luce was on the way. She's now about 6 months old, is so smart & loves to laugh. ❤ They're such great parents with her. Note: they just sold Luigi in recent vids.

[@sonnykat462]

Forgetting your laptop may have been a blessing in disguise. Arriving there near midnight and getting lost wouldn't have been ideal.

[@Manana131]

This was so beautiful! Spending some time with your childhood friends is amazing, especially in such a beautiful place. Loved seeing Luca & Sara and the news about the baby is wonderful. Can't wait to see the next part of this trip. I also missed Carlo with his cool Italian. Celine and Maria seem to be as nice as one expects Nicki's friends to be 💟

[@joycady8325]

What a nice surprise to see Luca and Sara!

[@rjricciardi5021]

Thank you Nicki. What a fun trip. I love Lucca with its walled city. Last time I was there we rented bikes and road all around the city on the wall. So nice you were able to meet up with Sara and Luca. Take care and be safe. Ciao 👩‍🌾

Love Lucca and the countryside. Wow so many shops in the city. How were you able to restrain yourself? So happy you were able to meet up with your childhood friend. Looks like you had a great time! Even without the drone shots the video was perfect. Miss Carlo and Holly Poo.

Beautiful city and area. I'd walk that wall around the city all the time it's just lovely!!

[@starsrhi2335]

HELLO FROM TEXAS - LOVE TO YOU BOTH. ALWAYS FUN TO MEET UP WITH GOOD FRIENDS. LOOKS LIKE A GREAT AREA TO LIVE AND VACATION. LOOKING FORWARD TO BEING THERE AGAIN WITH YOU AND CARLO - SO WE CAN GATHER WHAT WAS MISSED ON THIS TRIP. I AM, AS I THINK, MOST OF US FEMALES, WOULD LOVE TO HAVE A LOOK AT ALL THE SHOPS THERE. I HOPE YOU GET THE CHANCE TO DO THAT FOR US. THAT WOULD BE A THRILL TO GET CLOSE INTO THOSE PLACES. HAVE A BEAUTIFUL WEEK AHEAD, AND THANK YOU AGAIN FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK. I ALWAYS TAKE INTO ACCOUNT YOUR ARTISTIC AND CREATIVE CAPABILITIES - SO IMPORTANT TO APPRECIATE THE WORK THEREOF. GOD BLESS YOU BOTH, BE SAFE.

What a beautiful town and trip. No road trip is complete without some speed bumps, yours were very entertaining. I enjoyed the inclusion of your bloopers! This was a real treat! Thanks for sharing.

[@beckybryant9891]

I enjoy your videos so much. There is always fun, laughter, something to learn about Italy and so many lovely Italians. Thanks for the entertainment and not being just about face and fashion.

[@jolim6086]

I was very excited to see this episode as you visited where I live - the city of Lucca. When you walked on the wall and commented on the pretty building with the walled garden I live in the apartment next door! It’s a beautiful city! Like you I am British born but my husband and I moved to Lucca in 2019 and we love it here. Our Italian needs lots of work but ……piano piano! I also visit Positano regularly, my other favourite place in Italy, which is how I came to follow you almost from the beginning. You give so much pleasure to so many people. Thank you.

[@tammyflores2017]
