More from Ithaca

 Europe » Greece
Our stay in Ithaca has been crazy fun, and I already miss it!! We actually made some friends. On Tuesday, after touring the island by car Gunter and Lois went down for their afternoon siesta, and since Randi Jo was still feeling ill she stayed on the boat to rest as well. I didn’t want to sit on the boat all afternoon, so I went to the beach, around a ten minute walk down the shoreline. It was lovely!! I swam for several hours. I think that is one of my favorite things, to float in the cool water with the [View Full Entry]

Hi Everyone! I am not going to apologize again for how long it's taken me to get another blog up as I have a)just accepted the fact that I am not going to be able to update this blog as much as I would like (I hope you can accept that, too) and b)I quite happy with the fact that I am out experiencing my trip instead of spend hours behind a computer telling you about it. That's not to say I don't love sharing my adventures with everyone, but I have found myself stressing over not writing as much lately [View Full Entry]

After six months of Michelle and Stuart's planning, 1000 odd emails and a lot of saving we are finally in Athens. We took off at 4pm yesterday afternoon and flew to Bangkok, Thailand with Thai Airways. Flight was interesting, I took every alcoholic beverage on offer for the first 2 hours before promptly passing out for the remaining 6 and then woke with a stinging hangover. The passing out proved to be a good thing, Grev didn't pass out at any stage so by the time we got there he was absolutely trashed and slightly obnoxious. Bangkok airport is huge, it [View Full Entry]

Peter arrived at 3 in the morning yesterday with only his carryon but grinning and so a new chapter of the trip has begun After the family left and before peter came I set off to find the Herekledion museum and a traveling exhibit of Toulouse Lautrec I found it as well as an archeological museum along the way i mostly stopped in because i was overheating but soon found what a disadvantage it is to NOT have my dad on hand to ask questions "when exactly did the classical greek period start?" "why does that figurine look Egyptian, were they [View Full Entry]

I have 7 minutes before I am kicked off of this computer, so I am going to make this short. This is no secret, but Santorini is just one of the most beautiful places on earth. It's like Big Sur attempted poorly at an immitation of this. Dave and I managed to find the biggest steal on the island. We stubled across a modest, yet beautiful place tucked right into the cliffs of the Caldera. I will give more detail on the place later as anyone coming here on a bidget needs to stay at this place! Today is Dave's birthday. [View Full Entry]

Corfu

 Europe » Greece » Ionian Islands » Corfu
Corfu! Well...not quite. Jeff and I went to the airport after spending our 2nd day in Athens. We arrived expecting to leave at 7pm on a 1 hour flight. Little did we know that Olympic Airlines had changed our flight and never told us. They randomly changed it to 11:45pm. And then on top of that, it was delayed until 12:45. We found out later that this is typical. Armed with our 6 euro meal voucher, Jeff and I found a table where we could plug in our computers and do some work. We got some airport food, and found a [View Full Entry]

Hi everyone, we are now at the end of our travels in Greece. Since leaving the South we have had our "holiday within a holiday" traipsing around the Cyclades islands before heading north out of Athens over the last couple of days. From Athens we grabbed an overnight ferry which arrived in Santorini first thing in the morning. This ferry gave us our first taste of real beds and air conditioning for months - it was almost a pity we were asleep for the whole ride! Santorini has some really interesting geography, as the island is the top of an old [View Full Entry]

Hi Guys! Before I tell you about Greece (thus far) I need to make a few comments, or apologies, about my blog posts. Please try your best to overlook spelling and grammer errors. I usually consider myself a fairly decent writer, however I can't spell (I'm a spellcheck generation baby) and I am usually writing these very late at night or in quite a hurry and trying to squeeze as much information in as I can in the few minutes I have and don't have much time for proof reading. So please forgive me! There is also no way I can [View Full Entry]

Hey everyone. I hope your all good. Things are all good with us. We left Matala 7 days ago now. It was a tiny village on the south coast of Crete. Really nice. Not too much to do so it was basically a lot of beach time. The sea there is crystal clear and its the best snorkelling Ive done yet. Saw so many different fish and all different colours. I had to buy a underwater camera to get pics . The bus in Matala went to 3 different places around there so we "did" all them. They were all small [View Full Entry]

Today Gunter, Lois and I rented a car and drove around the entire island. Randi Jo was feeling really sick so she chose to stay with the boat. We visited the Kathara Monastary, and every wall in the church was covered with Byzantine frescoes. I don't know if I would feel comfortable going to church and having all those people staring at me from the walls. The roads were crazy high, all the way up the mountains. I think we drove up like 600 meters. Lois was so glad that they had guardrails. We visited a museum outside of Stavros, and [View Full Entry]
