Yes, it’s true… As if the great 30-day Asian Adventure in June weren’t enough to satisfy my travel bug for 2015, I packed my suitcase once again in September and took off on a tour of Greece!
“Greece and Her Islands” said the promotional brochure, and I looked at the map and prepared myself to stay in Athens for a few days, then on the islands of Mykonos and Santorini for two days each.
What I did NOT prepare myself for was that the “Optional Tours” would include another half-dozen adventure-packed islands, including one that was uninhabited, but artifact-filled, one where I could hike up the side of a volcano, and another where I jumped from the boat to swim in the Aegean Sea… And the list goes on and on!!
Back in May, I’
d planned to do this adventure alone, begrudgingly paying the “solo supplement” of about 150%… But fate intervened when a friend I met when she lived on the peninsula, and now lives in Utah, casually inquired during a phone conversation, “Would you like a traveling companion for that trip to Greece?”
And that’s how my friend Pat and I ended up half way around the world, navigating a foreign country, a foreign language, foreign foods, and a foreign cu
rrency exchange, and having a ball eating souvlaki and gyros and picking out potential men to bring back home with us….
Yes, I’m kidding about importing the men…
Maybe…
But I don’t want to give it all away… Please come back to this page often and enjoy all that we did in September exploring GREECE AND HER ISLANDS!!
