I wake up to light coming in the window. I check my watch to see that it is 11.00 There's no way we slept in that late. We went to bed by 9 (average between the two of us and we are two hours ahead! Why did I switch my watch off 24 hour time. I'm to lazy to reach back and look out the window but i can see through the crack in the curtains that its 11 at night. I wake up again at two for cars honking and again at five and eight. I think we ended up rlling out of bed around 11...that isway more sleep thatn you should get on a given night...not to mention a lot of time to waste when only in Greece for two and a half days. ... read more

Alright so few signs there are a few things wrong with me. Either I am a. really nervous b. a complete ditz or c. really tired. I am going go with option A, simply because it makes me feel better. So if you read my last entry you already know that I forgot my phone on the chair. Well somehow all that lead to a series of very stupid events. Ok so I get to Miami airport, and begin following the signs that say DEF or something, but what I don’t see is the bottom of the sign that reads “baggage claim.” And so I end up getting out of the airport, completely unintentional. So I try to cover my mistake and I call sara (who now lives in Miami and said that if she got ... read more

Took the subway to Pireaus; crazy busy port; lots of big ships. Got a plastic chair on deck & spoke w/ some Canadians. Lots of Canadians & Australians everywhere here. There were seats, snack bar, restaurant, & even beds (for $) available inside, but I decided to tough it out on deck. Beautiful sunset then it started to get a bit cool/breezy & not much for sleeping. The trip took 13 hrs; it stopped at about half dozen or so islands before it got to Ios (ee ous). There was a shuttle bus at the port to take me & others up the hill, which is the city center & nightlife area, & down the other side to The Far Out Beach Club where I'm staying. I didn't expect, & didn't get much for my ... read more

It wasn't loud noises, sweltering temperatures or Gail's phone call that woke me up this morning. At about 7:00 am I could feel the Sea Diamond slowing down and the rolling of the ship stopped. By the time I was out of the shower the engines had stopped. Gail and her mother were already up so we decided to take advantage of our last free meal of the trip. We headed down for the breakfast buffet while the rest of the passengers scrambled to get off the ship. About an hour later our group gathered in the lounge then headed off the ship and into the terminal. Inside we picked-up our waiting suitcases and Mike reclaimed his stowed weapons. Our next stop would be Athens airport. Unfortunately, when we walked out of the terminal there was ... read more
