Beaches
Simply Santorini
Have you ever sat at your desk and dreamed of getting away to Greece? Spent hours staring at the Greece calendar hanging on your cubicle wall and fantasize of romantic vistas of whitewashed houses? Stacked up sugar cubes and imagined them as a Greek Island village? [Okay, I understand if I’m the only one who […]
Flowers that Transplant Me
When ever I see the long, spidery tendrils of bougainvillea they transplant me to the sun-drenched islands of summertime Greece. The thorny, wood-like vines with their green leaves and purple, red, or white flowers hanging from the roof tops and balconies of whitewashed homes along narrow village streets is one of the images of Greece […]
I’m (Sort Of) Flying!
For most of my life my family has vacationed down on the Outer Banks of North Carolina on Hatteras Island. Each year we’d pass the massive sand dunes of Jockey’s Ridge and see the people learning how to hang glide and each year I’d say “I want to learn to do that.” When you’re a […]

The strong family connection inspired our first visit, and the slow pace of Greek island life keeps us going back. While we’re […]
Traveling Vicariously

No Kids, Will Travel, Under the Sea
With the warm weather and the pool opening soon, I’ve been thinking back to the diving experience Amanda had at the travel show. I thought our post lacked some specifics, so we got in contact with David Bone at the Atlantic Edge Dive Center in Gaithersburg, Maryland. I, like many of you, love the idea […]
Greece or Not to Greece?
With the American vacation season upon us and people thinking about where they want to go many of my coworkers and friends turn to me with questions – and one question in particular, is it safe to travel to Greece? My answer is, simply, yes. Greece has been one of the safest places to travel […]
