Your grandfather
Hi La You had better make some alterations before your grandmother reads this. Neville Bowker, if he had continued the way he started, would have been regarded as one of the great wartime fighter aces of the RAF. He is credited with over 10 'kills'. Fortunately for him, he was shot down and incarcerated, which probably kept him alive. He is written about in many books about the RAF and if you read Gran's Facebook page you will see that she is fascinated by this The rest I found most interesting Dad

Itinerary
Hi Anu, unfortunately we were only in Greece for 9 days. We flew into Athens, travelled by ferry (very easy but useful to book in advance in peak seasons) to Ios where we stayed by the beach in Milopotas and then travelled onwards by ferry to Santorini where we stayed in Fira. We were using booking.com to find places just before we arrived, but there seemed to be a lot of vacancies for any budget so turning up and looking shouldn't be an issue. Enjoy! We loved it!

Whoa - travelers wishing to embrace the American identity rather than shed it? Now I've heard everything! ;) Obnoxious tourists come in all shapes, sizes and nationalities, unfortunately. Your vacation looks picturesque. Glad to hear tourism in Greece is still thriving despite the media attention; I imagine the economic situation would be much worse without the influx of tourist dollars. Thanks for sharing.

I was in Venice one October, and there were lots of tourists then too. There must hardly be room to move around those narrow streets, in August, with it still being the official tourist season. Or, maybe it is tourist season all year round in Venice... :)

you could do this for a living!
I look forward to reading each new installment of well composed passages, and seeing the beautiful photos in each blog! Maybe there could be a change of career as a travel journalist? I've read many a story in "country style" or other Australian Lifestyle Magazine that is good! What do you reckon?!

PUFC shorter than PKFC
Nice little story. And congratulations with your anniversary! Beware that a PKFC (Post Kids Financial Crisis) might take some 20 years to recover from!! Second kid due in August. Apparently, more kids doesn't speed the process... :-))

Sitting there for months...
Hi!! The mail indicating this last entry in your wonderful blog was still sitting in my inbox. Amazed by the determination of the thing, I finally picked up reading. And it's amazing as always! When's the next entry due? Building up a huge backlog here? Or just ran out of pounds for a while? I'll monitor my inbox closely! Seeya! Maikel (Probably Krista read this months ago.)
