Vaya Hotel Parikia

... 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.

... 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 ...

... Out pool. I admit I was ready to leave in the end. Partying so much gets old after a while and you realize that you need to move on, but I still am going to miss it. I could totally have stayed there for the season. Alas it wasn't meant to be this time around. It's unlikely I will ever be back there again either, but you can never beat first times in new locations. All you do is compare and nothing ever does. Time to move on. On to Paros. Coming over on the ferry from Ios, I ...

... go to the beach on the other side of the island. By the way, our place where we are staying has the most breathtaking view of the sea. We sat on our balcony last night drinking wine, eating olives and watching the sunset. It doesn't get any better than this. Ok..we need to go. another couple is waiting to use the computer. It is the only one operating at the cafe. I will try to check back tomorrow. Love you all...Olive & Troy

... 5 cruise ships, and very expensive. Found a small family-run restaurant and had a really nice dinner. Clubs were super pricey (10Eu/drink) so returned to the boat early to hang out for a bit before bed. Tuesday May 31st, The morning we got up and headed to Syros. Attempted to sail, but the wind died down pretty quickly, so we had to put the sails again. Stopped again at another cove. This one near Delos. Ddin't have any luck finding any ruins. "Parked" the ...

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.
