Thank you to the Greek weather Gods for allowing us to arrive in Santorini to glorious sunshine. Beautiful blue skies against the white abodes literally built into steep hillsides provide gorgeous contrasts. Our last resort for this trip was in the town of Oia (pronounced “e-a”), about 40 minutes from the ferry in Fira. Naturally […]

But flying was the least amount of total time required […]

What does that mean? Virgin Airlines did everything in their power to destroy our return flight last September from Boston & Providence. After much back and forth, a $500 credit was offered for future travel. When I attempted to use the credit for a January trip to Houston, I found out that any travel associated […]

International Travel, Things I Love, Wining/Dining

If you’ve been following along on this journey (Helsinki/Tallinn/Riga/Klaipeda/Vilnius), then you know we had Russian Visa issues prior to leaving the US. After the earlier-than-planned exit from Russia and with time left before our scheduled departure back home, the question then became: Where should we go for the remainder of the trip?
