... must cover their shoulders and wear a modest length shirt. Some churches might allow long pants for women. Be prepared by carrying a wrap that can be used as a skirt or to cover arms. Men should wear a sleeved shirt & long pants.


The market was near the marina. Thelea, from Exas Yachts, had given us some suggestions in her final communication as to what we needed to buy. While Shirley and I ...

... 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.

... beautiful place with the village full of white-washed buildings scattered around a maze of little streets and alley ways. Just at it seemed that Santorini was made for couples, Mykonos was make for singles and the party life. This is one place that I want to return to again.

... divine. It's funny how two months ago I would hyperventilate every time I did the math and realized how close I was to turning 29, which is so close to 30, which is so close to 35, which is so close to 40... you get the picture. And I'd think, "I don't own a house, I'm not married, I don't know if I want kids, What do I want to do when I grow up? Who am I?" And now I think, "Enh, I'm me. That's all I need to be for right now. We'll see who I am when I get to 29 and ...

... 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 ...

... I think we all deserve that much so it's for this reason that I impart to you one of the more funny experiences I had while running the bar. Actually, it's more of a shocking story but I having a feeling that the majority of you will probably get a kick out of it; As I mentioned before, Heather was always good at getting people in the door of the bar and I was good at keeping them there once they started drinking. During the course of the summer I would have lots of regulars, some ...

... This is even more steeply situated than Hora and spans a small ravine, so its white washed houses are even more tightly packed. In fact we loose Chelle and Trevor in its maze of little stairways (its so steep you can't even call these connecting streets alleys!!), but its too small for anyone to stay lost for long.... We all meet up at a small pub that is still open and have a fairly mediocre lunch of toasted sandwiches - all that is now available. Since we have the rental cars ...

... beacause it was completely filled with men. They thought he was cute i guess hahahahhaha. Post unfortunatly left us and went back to athens. We stayed another night then left to Ios. In 4 days we probably ate 20 gyros. Thats all we ate hahahah. I love them. Mykonos was great. Ibiza is still the biggest party on the planet but Mykonos is stil better than many others places ive seen. By the way. Deep Dish - Say Hello will be the hottest track of the year. AMAZING song. Next is Ios

The next day we had moved to Santorini Island, which is one of the most gorgeous things I've ever seen in my entire life. The islands, if viewed from above or on a map are sickle shaped. All the islands were part of a huge mountain in ancient times. The eruption of Santorini in 600 something BC left a huge caldera now filled with water. There are two islands emerging from the center of the caldera which the locals refer to as the "Burnt Islands." They're completely ...

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.
