International Travel, Things You Should Know, Wining/Dining

It takes a grand total of 20 minutes in the air to fly from Athens (visit in previous post) to Mykonos.

Wining/Dining

Was scheduling a dinner in December at The Grove, one of LA’s busiest open-air shopping/dining malls, the brightest idea? Probably not.
