Saint Simons Island, Georgia until March 1. I look forward to a new adventure on Bainbridge Island ,Washington.
Thanos-GR. I lived for many years on Mykonos. I was married to Dr. George Giovanis. Rena his widow is still there and also her two daughters. I'm sure we know many of the same people. I haven't been back since 1996.

Thanos-GR, It might be confusing. Dr. G. and I were divorced before he married Rena. I call her my widow-in-law. Joan
