... be a few more toasts and islands!

At the Marina Café, we were served by Rachel, one of the owners. We took an immediate liking to her. She took pictures of us, and we arranged to see her when we'd return in a week. As we were preparing to leave, she treated us to complimentary glasses of Ouzo. Why is this liquor called Ouzo? My sister-in-law explained it years ago. She said, "When you drink it ...

... close to the marina that has music coming from it. I ate a lamb dish for dinner and since the Greeks eat dinner very late in the day and will frequently make an evening of it, it wasn't until close to 11 PM that we left the taverna.

I went back to the yacht to dress in my club clothes and to go to one of the few dance clubs that remained open over the winter. Although it wasn’t packed, the club was still a lot of fun and we had a great time.

It’s a little cool outside for a party island that is famous for its nude beaches and all-night dance clubs. This is the first time that I wished we were visiting Greece during the tourist season since the town almost feels empty and the beaches deserted.

This is ...

... I can remember last year when the city of San Francisco had to create a secret path to avoid protesters extinguishing the flame. And tomorrow I get to see where it all starts and always has started. So cool.

I think I'm going to quit while I'm on a flitty note. And start preparing yourself for the mass of photos that will be coming your way next week from the cruise. Thank goodness for this fabulous camera!

Kalli Spera!! (Which is Good day! in Greek.)

this trip was very special to me,because it was the first one after I finally finished with school and had the freedom to do everything I want,without anybody else controlling me!the only thing I wanted to do is find a nice place with great people to relax and so I did.i met many interesting people and it was a journey to remember!

... s cabin. But, before you send us hatemail, we would like to reinforce, we Love ABBA! We even Love Meryl Streep! We think she's one of the best actors in the movie business! We just think that Mama Mia was one of the goofiest movies ever made. It reminded us of one of those goofy half hour sitcoms where characters would periodically break out in song. Fortunately, the networks did the right thing and saved us all ...

... or you will never get anywhere. And EVERYONE smokes...even if it says "no smoking" they move the sign and light up. I was speechless when we arrived at the port in Athens. Pictures do not do this place justice. The colors and the landscape and the weather makes for a perfect day every day. We walked all around Fira square last night...it is hoping with night life and stores and music everywhere. We met this great ...

Well, we made it to Greece. Thank goodness. The hotel was waiting for us with a van when we got off the boat, I don't think the driver spoke much English, or maybe he was just upset to have to pick up us Americans at 11:30 pm at night, because Anastasia said 'hello' but he said noithing in return. He took us there in about 5 minutes, another ...

... it seemed that everything our Lonely Planet guidebook recommended was rather expensive and it was actually not that nice (several places could almost be deemed to rent by the hour!!!). Leah waited outside many hotels for the best part of the search and now wishes she had captured Shaun's face on camera as he stepped out of one very shabby place. Finally we found a newly renovated hotel for EUR45/night on the main street (note - first person we bump into was a ...

How on Earth did I get to be so lucky?

My family and I went on a cruise of the Greek Islands. We ate a lot, got sea sick once, soaked up the sun, and absorbed the classically beautiful white and blue colours on the islands. There weren't very much ship activities that my sister and I were interested in but Allyson and I did win a bingo game! Mykonos was by far our favorite island because of its beauty.
