Another beautiful day!

 05-06-21, Saturday Another picture-perfect morning!  I'm up early and try to get some of the bookkeeping out of the way for tomorrow night (well, really Monday morning)  I'm able to check into my three flights without much trouble and my boarding passes are on my phone.  I even was able to select my seats, so that's good!  But there's always a hitch, right?  To enter Greece you have to have a locator pass and part of the registration procedure requires you to verify your email by clicking on a URL that they send you.  It takes between five and eight minutes for the email to arrive and by the time it does, the URL has expired and you have to request another one and it takes five to eight minutes...you get the idea.  This took my mind off my aggravation for a while! By the time I slam my laptop shut in frustration, Ammar is awake! He calms me down and we go up to breakfast where I realize that the mushrooms and scrambled eggs here are the best we'v...

The country's best ruins on the agenda

 05-31-21, Monday The Chamber of Commerce here must have a lot of pull with the weather gods!  It's always spectacular outside!  Breakfast is from 7:00 to 10:00 so we probably can make that! The breakfast buffet is even more sumptuous than at the Frangiorgio!  But this is a larger, four-star hotel with three swimming pools, a spa and work out facilities, and a full restaurant!  I never thought of smoked mackerel for breakfast, but it's way better than bacon!  I'm starving by nine, so Ammar sends me on ahead while he has his first cup of wake-up juice.  When you check in with the hostess you receive a pair of plastic gloves to wear as you go through the buffet's several stations.  I think you're supposed to keep them, because the sign on the elevator reminds you to wear your mask and gloves! After breakfast we go down to the -0 floor and make reservations for aromatherapy full-body massages for this afternoon!   They made up our bed while...

The Endless Day

Image
 06-06-21, Sunday I can't believe it's already our last day!  I have to leave for the airport around 1:30 tomorrow morning, so there's really no point in going to bed.  We go to breakfast earlier than usual and when we come back I start to wrestle with the Greek locator form again.  Ammar suggests that I try it on my phone.  That makes no sense to me, but, wouldn't you know it?  It works! There are some glitches due to a lack of logic on the designer's part and I get some help dealing with those, and pretty soon I get a confirmation email!  I'll get the ever popular QR code at midnight. The recessed lighting in our suite is all this delicious shade of blue. The next fun project is getting everything in our suitcases! That is a little easier than it might have been because Ammar's find at the charity shop is really quite spacious! We're about as organized as we can be at this point, so yay for us! Time to get out of the room and enjoy the great outdoors...
