I dream of the Aegean

Somehow, it's suddenly June 5th, and I'm on the cusp of the conference in Athens with E.M.

And somehow, Big A and Nu are going with me too. None of them have been to Greece before, and E.M. and Nu love Greek mythology, and Big A loves me, and I can't wait to show off one of my favorite places in the world to all these loves. 

We leave tomorrow. Ten days in a hotel room might be too much, so for the first time, I've rented a VRBO for us. I hope it's a good experience. I spied Ursula K. Guin on the bookshelves in the online pictures, so I'm taking that as an excellent sign.

I hope the VRBO is all you hoped for. How wonderful to be experiencing this glorious place with two of the people you love most!

I'm so glad that you could include family in this trip. It probably enhanced every part of it for you.

And I would definitely make a judgment call based upon bookshelves!

How special to have A & Nu with you.

I’m so glad you were all able to go together! I have not yet been to Greece. I’m anti VRBO and AirBNB in theory, but when we need room, I have definitely used them!

I think you would love Greece. (But that may just be because I do and think everyone would :). YES!!!!! I have so many compunctions about VRBO and AirBnB in general. (And picked VRBO, because the other guy is a bigger dick). But we ran out of options on this trip...
