25th June 2009 Zpet	Not you too?! - From: The White Mountains - Day 1 Not you too? Manoli, Monica, and Serena have been saying the same thing, and/or that I should write a book. I don't think I have it in me to write a novel, but a travel writer would be cool, if only some travel company would pick up the tab for my travels!

24th June 2009 JuJu	I had forgotten about the Flume! - From: The White Mountains - Day 1 How could I have forgotten about the flume? Remembering it now, it is one of my favorite places.

22nd May 2008 Zpet	Not Old - From: Day 3 - Athens to Santorini Yep, it was fun and not tiring at all...although the tummies were a bit heavy for a while. Still young and enjoyin life!
21st May 2008 Judy	Making Good Foods! - From: Kalives, Crete, Greece - Day 4 Taste of Crete Cooking Finally something that didn't involve hiking, climbing, or walking great distances. :) It looks like you guys really enjoyed the fruits of your labors.
17th May 2008 Zpet	Accommodations on Santorini - From: Day 3 - Athens to Santorini Our hotel was great, but not actually in Fira and not overlooking the caldera (cliff). I can't personally recommend any other hotels in Fira, but I can tell you that you're unlikely to find many with a great view and not too many steps. There are more ups and downs than flat! Maybe a place near the northern edge where they haven't built down the cliff much yet. Good luck and enjoy, we did.
16th May 2008 Judy	A "down" day ??? - From: Santorini - Day 3 That doesn't seem like a "down" day to me, John! Your Big Sister, Judy
15th May 2008 barbara	- From: Day 3 - Athens to Santorini going to Santorni with my sister and mother for mother's 80th b-day. Want to go to Santorni but looking for a clean reasonable hotel that has a view and not too many steps in the heart of Fira. Can you tell me more about yours or recommend any others. Thanks
9th May 2008 Doc	Bon Voyage - From: Away we go...kali mera! Have a great trip, look forward to the pics. Doc
24th April 2008 Zpet	Cave Tour - From: San Ignacio & Cave Tour Hi, sorry, but its been awhile now and I don't remember. It wasn't cheap, something like $80, but well organized and a real blast. By the way, the tours are very limited and only conducted by one tour agency I think, due to the fragility of the cave artifacts.
10th December 2007 ChrisinLA	hi - From: San Ignacio & Cave Tour How much was the tour of the cavern? Great blog!
16th October 2007 eims	- From: Inis Mor Hi, thanks for getting back to me. Inis Mor is definitely Co Galway - believe me, Im Irish so I know!! For further proof see http://www.aranislands.ie/. There is another island called Aran Mor off Co Donegal, but that's different altogether, and not where you were. I agree, there doesn't seem to be a listing for the Aran Islands when you add a new blog - so I have requested one :) Happy travelling - I have enjoyed reading your blogs and looking at the fab pictures which make me v homesick. eims
eims 21st August 2007 eims	- From: Inis Mor This isn't Donegal, it's Galway!!
