greece is the word Please make me stop playing this game. It's cloyingly cute and pointless, but addictive like the crack cocaine. My question is, how long did the high scorers spend playing before they made it onto the wall of fame? Their scores are easily 10 to 20 times higher than my best. So my new obsession is Greece. I want to go to Greece. More specifically, I want for Joe and I to go to Greece on our honeymoon. (Doesn't that sound weird? "Honeymoon." We're getting married. It's still weird to say it, folks.) See, the situation is this. I've done a lot of international traveling, especially when I was younger, with my family. Joe has not. In fact, the only time that he's been out of the country is when he came with my family on a trip to Japan last summer. We're probably going to have about two weeks off between the wedding and when we have to be back in the city for graduation. So we were thinking that given the amount of time we have, we'd like to go somewhere a little special, a little more remote than your standard honeymoon fare, just to make the most of this opportunity. Meaning France instead of Hawaii, Spain instead of Bermuda, Italy instead of St. Croix. The only this is this. We're going to be tired after the wedding. We're going to be stressed. We're going to want to relax. I want to go somewhere with a beach, somewhere vaguely resort-y and sunny, somewhere where it's warm enough to swim in early May. And, I've already been to France, Spain and Italy. You know, obviously not to every city by any means, but given that we won't have this much time off...well...ever again, I kind of feel like I might want to go somewhere that both Joe and I have never been before. Enter Greece. So check out my idea. We could fly into Athens. Spend a few days there acclimating to the Greasiness. Go to the Acropolis. Go see the Parthenon. Walk around town. Take the subway. (I love subways.) Eat souvlakis and what have you. Then, a few days later, sail to the island of Mykonos. Get some sun. Go to the beach. Walk around town and enjoy the quaintness. Take a day trip to Delos and see the ruins. Enjoy the famous nightlife. Go dancing. A few days after that, take another ferry to Santorini. More of the same. See the volcano. See the old towns. Ride mopeds. Enjoy the black beaches. Eat olives. Then, it's back to Athens, and then home. Lots of sites and history, but not too rushed. Leisurely and relaxing, but not just sitting by a pool drinking Mai-Tais for a week. I'm so completely enraptured by this idea, I want to go right now. It's mid-80's and sunny in Greece right now. Sounds a hell of a lot better than here. Now all I have to do is convince Joe that he wants to go to Greece too. xo Michelle |
