Gone Greek

Well wouldn't you know that the day before I'm set to fly out for my Greece trip, Delta Airlines declares bankruptcy? Well, if I don't have a flight back to the United States, at least I'll be stuck somewhere beautiful!





Friday's going to be one heckuva day. First of all, we'll be on the plane for 8 hours overnight tomorrow night until we reach London. Then we'll hop on a 5 hour flight from London to Athens. From Athens we'll catch the train down to Pireaus. From there, we'll purchase tickets for a 3 hour trip on a ferry boat to Mykonos. I have a feeling I'll be slightly irritable after all of that and very little sleep! Let me tell you how much fun I am to be around when I haven't had enough sleep...just be thankful it's not you on the trip with me that day...that's all I've got to say! And we're really just winging this trip. We have NO hotel reservations - anywhere, NO real plan of action, NO idea how to speak or read the language, and NO agenda whatsoever. We've done little to no research, so this should all be very interesting!

Things I Plan on Trying While in Greece:

  • Ouzo
  • Nude Beaches (notice how this is listed after I try the ouzo?)
  • Black Olives (I don't like olives, but "when in Rome"...errr, I meant Greece)
  • Greek Men (ha! kidding, I'm kidding...sort of...)
Obviously you won't hear from me in a while, but check back when I return because there's NO DOUBT I'll have some really great stories to tell! I'll be back on 9/27 and will try to post something sometime that week.

If you're interested, I've found this website to be helpful and entertaining: http://www.greektravel.com/islands.htm

I saw Time Bandits - there's some weird stuff going on over there. Oh, and stay away from Ouzo.

Have a great time!

Well to see you nude on the beach, covered in sun tan lotion laying on the sand. Yeah that would be worth going to Greece to see :)

I hope you have a GREAT time! Can't wait to hear your stories.
