Santorini was the inspiration for our entire trip to Greece; it was the destination that I needed to see, the one I had dreamed about. Transportation was significantly less painful than our Athens to Mykonos experience and thankfully I was able to keep my luggage with me. We always adore Starwood Resorts and had the great fortune to stay at the Vedema for three wonderful nights. The only thing better than the resort itself was the fantastic staff that made us feel at home 5,272 miles from Arlington.

The flight was AWFUL, my absent minded husband wrote the wrong date of departure on his calendar and when he got the check in reminder a day earlier than he thought we were to depart, we had a total freak out. But after a flurry of packing, rushing to the airport and making our flight by just a few minutes, we ended up sitting on the tarmac for over an hour before taking off, resulting in a missed connection in Amsterdam. KLM then inexplicably re-routed us through Geneva and eventually on to Athens where we had to re-purchase our tickets to Mykonos because our flight had already left us. And they lost my luggage. Grrrrrrrrrr.. KLM. Anyway when […]
