On The Road

have a great trip, ali!

We lived in Crete, Greece in 80-82. I am anxious to hear about your trip to Mykonos. We stopped there one day on a tour out of Athens. I just returned from 10 days in France and had made my travel journal/scrapbook and enjoyed using it so much. Have fun.

By now I am sure that you have landed safely in Greece and are already getting ready to start the cruise/classes! I used to travel 85% of the time, for the last couple of years it was international travel. I must admit while it is nice to be home MUCH more, I do miss traveling and seeing the world. Greece was one place I always wanted to go and have yet to visit!

Have an amazing time....though I know you will be working as well as playing.

So right after I read your post about your road trip, I went to check my home page on MSN and this was the top story:

...something about skulls being found in luggage in Athens....what?

Can't wait to hear the stories..see the pictures and live vicariously through you Ali. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!!

WOW. Hope you enjoy Greece and know that you will post some awesome pictures. Please let me know how you like the Instax Mini because reminds me of all of the polaroids we used to take when I was little and would like to recapture that part of my childhood.

Ali, I leave Sat. See you in Mykonos. It's so funny, I plan to wear an almost exact outfit while traveling. Can't wait to meet you and all the other stars!!! I'm sooooo excited I have no words

Safe Travels! Have an AWESOME adventure!! So wish I could join you! Can't wait to hear all about it!

You will LOVE Greece - it's a great country - beautiful to look at, wonderful people, and delicious food - just go easy on the ouzo & retsina you'll almost certainly be offered if you want to keep a clear head for scrapping! Have fun! Wish I was there!

Athens is great. Mykonos is ok. Try to get to Santorini-youll be amazed and astounded.

Safe travels..they are lucky to have you there.
How did you get over your flying issues?

Love the The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. My son is going to University Wisconsin and it is their group read for the year. So much to think about with that book.

Love the Aegean sea. It's been a long time since I've been to Mykonos. I heard it's party central now.

Make sure you turn your roaming off when you are not checking emails etc. Use the hotel wi-fi to save. I had an international data plan from AT & T and still ended up with enormous charges because of accessing the internet. AT & T is now better with their plans, but it's still a bit confusing.

Ali, the scrapbook on the road looks very interesting. I hope you can offer it as an online class. Have a wonderful time in Greece!

How did you get over being scared to fly?

I SO wish that I could be there to take your class and to see Greece! Have a wonderful trip!

LOVE your pix, and the format for your travel journal. Brilliant as always in your perspective.

Just wanted to share that I was so inspired by your prompt a while back from your trip to Italy where you used "I want to remember..." I used that idea for a trip I took to NYC/New England to share family history with our youngest daughter. I think this is the most meaningful album I have made to date. All thanks to your perspective on journaling. Wanted you to know how much I appreciate and enjoy your blog!
