Vacation Like a Soap Star

We've all wanted to vacation like a soap star. Whether it's being treated to gorgeous scenery, amazing historical sites and astounding food, we all deserve a little extravagance and elegance. We've discovered you can get just that at hotel napoli.

Hotel Napoli is an elegant hotel and conference center in the center of Naples, Italy. It's positioned in a very strategic location close the train station and the major city attractions. It's the perfect place to visit Napoli (Naples), Pompei and Capri.

In Naples, visit the main city square, the Piazza del Plebiscito. Nearby is the Teatro di San Carlo, which is the oldest and largest opera house on the Italian peninsula. Directly across from San Carlo is Galleria Umberto, a shopping centre and active centre of Neapolitan social life in general. Naples is well-known for its historic castles, like the ancient Castel Nuovo. Naples also hosts a wealth of historical museums and some of the most important in the country.

Nearby is the city of Pompei, which is mainly famous for the ruins of the ancient city of Pompeii, located in the frazione of Pompei Scavi. The central basilica, dedicated to Madonna del Rosario di Pompei, has become a site for Catholic pilgrimages in recent years. It houses a canvas by Luca Giordano.

Don't forget to take a day trip to the resort town of Capri (remember, summers are usually the most crowded and touristy). The hotel napoli centro really is central to everything here.

You won't want for anything when you book here. You will feel right at home staying at the Ramada hotel naples italy. They have all the comforts you are used to with Ramada — professional and helpful staff, gorgeous and spacious rooms, and every amenity you could possibly need — with the added benefit of being situated right in the middle of all the activity.

Jonathan Jackson Is Back!

The soap world was a-buzz at the end of last month with the news that Jonathan Jackson (pictured left, photo credit Carol Kaelson/ABC) was back in as Lucky Spencer on General Hospital, and Greg Vaughan was out. I spoke with Jonathan last week about his return to the show. The interview will be printed in its entirety on Oct. 23, but for now, here's a bit of the interview to whet your appetite:

Acting alongside old friends helped smooth the transition for Jonathan. “Working with Tony (Geary, Luke Spencer) was really awesome,” he reveals. “It was a fun dynamic having that history with him, and yet it’s been about 10 years since we’ve actually worked together. And yet everything was right there. The same goes for working with Becky (Herbst, Elizabeth Webber) — I was able to settle in really quickly.”

In respect to the Lucky/Elizabeth/Nikolas love triangle, Jonathan is eager to see where it all ends up. “I am jumping into a moving stream when it comes to all of that. There is definitely a lot of tension there to work with, and it’ll be interesting to see how the whole thing plays out.”

Jonathan is eager to get back to basics as far as Lucky’s family and love life is concerned. “There’s a lot available to work with. The relationship with Luke, there’s a lot that could happen there. And I am a big fan of the love story between Lucky and Elizabeth, so there’s a lot of potential there for tapping into some of those original elements we had going.”
