Greece Trip: Day 10
As usual, I did not sleep well the night before an early flight. The wake up call came at 4:45, but I had been up for a while by then. We finished packing up and headed downstairs for our 5:15 ride to the airport. I was surprised at how crowded the airport was; ours was
Greece Trip: Day 9
We got going a little bit earlier today than yesterday in order to catch an earlier bus to Thira. After another nice breakfast, we walked down to the Kamari bus stop and waited for the bus. In Thira, we switched to the bus to Akrotiri. Though worried the bus would drop us in town, after
Greece Trip: Day 8
Last night, we decided today would be a “slow” day. Even so, I couldn’t sleep past 7:30. While I worked on my trip photos and summaries, I let the girls sleep until almost 9. Once they were up and ready, we went down to breakfast. A large buffet of cheese, eggs, pastries, fruit, yogurt and
Greece Trip: Day 7
Our alarm went off early this morning so we could get up, dressed, packed and down to breakfast before 6am. The taxi had already arrived when I went down to check out. The trip to the port was quick; a little too quick for Chloe, though. We made our way onto the ferry and found
Greece Trip: Day 6
I set my alarm early to have time to wake before having to get the girls moving. Around 6, I felt a “boom” like a cannon and figured it was just some military-type morning ceremony near the presidential palace. Later we learned that a car bomb had gone off a few blocks from our hotel.
Greece Trip: Day 5
No wake up alarm today! This might be the only morning on the trip where we all could sleep in a little bit. Even so, we could all feel that our bodies are just exhausted from the pace we’ve been keeping. The breakfast buffet here was a little better than in the last hotel. At
Greece Trip: Day 4
My alarm went off, but I was not ready to get up. After a few hits on the snooze button, I noticed lights outside. I got everyone up and dressed quickly so we’d be ready to disembark when the boat finally docked. Knowing where we were and where we were going was helpful, though we
Greece Trip: Day 3
I set my alarm to go off early in order to check the weather report. As the report still indicated a high chance of rain all day, we decided to forgo the two hour bus trip to the beach and instead chose to have a quiet and easy day in Heraklion instead. We took our
Greece Trip: Day 2
I set my alarm for 5am (10pm back in Atlanta) in order to get up with time to take care of a few things, get dressed, get packed and get the others up before the ferry arrived in Crete. Once the ferry docked, we checked out of our cabin and disembarked. After a walk along
Greece Trip: Day 1
After just a few hours of sleep, it was time to start into a full day of travel beginning in Paris. We slowly got off the plane, navigating down the jet stairs to the tarmac and climbing on a bus. After a tour of the airport, we arrived. With no signs and no boards telling
Greece Trip: Day 0
Time to hit the road! And the skies! And the rails! And the water! With a LONG trip ahead of us to get to Crete, I tried to make sure the girls got enough sleep, but I was too wired to get settled myself. 5am came way too fast. But I was up and started
Greece Trip: Day -3
After weeks and weeks of planning and preparations, we are getting down to the wire now. Years ago when we traveled often, getting ready for a trip to France was fairly simple. We had all the things we needed. We knew what to pack. We didn’t spend too much time beforehand planning what sights to
