We're traveling September 12-21 and need to go from Naples->Ischia->Naples (September 13), Naples->Capri (September 15), and Capri->Amalfi (September 17). Do these ferries sell out? How far in advance is it necessary or advisable to book?

My boyfriend and I are planning a brief trip to Naples, Capri, and Amalfi in mid September (12-20). We're going to spend four nights in Naples, two nights in Capri so he can go diving, and we're trying to decide where to spend our other two nights. I'm torn between Ischia and Vietri sul Mare.

We have a mid-range budget and will be dependent on public transit. I'm in my 30s, he's in his 40s. He loves swimming and diving. I am a photographer and love wandering with my camera. We both love hiking, good food, arts/culture, and churches. Neither of us are big on shopping or nightlife. We speak/understand a serviceable amount of Italian.

I'm looking for which translation a particular wording of this quote from Oedipus comes from. This is the kind of thing Google Search would have been perfect for a few years ago but now returns no results. The translated quote is:

"Do not tell me that what I have done is not well done."

Thank you for any help you can provide!

I need advice on how to negotiate spending a two nights a week at home, away from my partner who has a fearful-avoidant attachment style and fears of rejection. I love him very much and just need two nights a week to myself to feel grounded, do chores, sleep in my own bed, read quietly, etc. He always experiences this as rejection (he clearly hears "I want to spend a night at home" as "I don't want to spend time with you") and becomes very hurt, withdrawing, saying he doesn't need me, and having bad thoughts.

What can I do, because I feel like this is a reasonable need of mine? (Part of this is also extroversion/introversion. He's extremely extroverted, while I'm very introverted. He really does not seem to understand that I have some need for alone time that has nothing to do with the quality of our relationship or my depth of feelings for him.)

How can we approach this more constructively? Would a set schedule (e.g., I will always be home Monday and Thursday, unless we make other plans) help? How can I provide reassurance without giving away alone time that I need to recharge?

I use an electric trimmer/razor (similar to this) to remove hair from my upper lip a few times a week. But I often get small whiteheads or pimples there (and otherwise never get them). I only use the razor on a clean, dry face and rinse afterwards. What am I doing wrong/what else can I do?
