Tomorrow is the big day for our first trip to Greece. I would like to say a heartfelt thanks to all of the wonderful people here that have take their time and shared all the wonderfull information. Doing so, makes trips like mine so much better. I will be posting daily from Greece. If anyone has any hotels they want me to check out in Mykonos or Santorini please let me know. I will gladly do so.Thanks again everyone.<BR>Gary n Ft Lauderdale

I was just thinking about you!! (we corresponded about three weeks ago and you e-mailed me some helpful info). I just posted that I'm torn between staying at "Esperas Traditional Houses" or "On The Rocks". If you happen to pass by either hotel, I'd love to hear your feedback.<BR><BR>Have a wonderful vacation and again, Happy Anniversary!!<BR><BR>Pat C.

Gary,<BR><BR>I wish you a great trip to Greece, don't get surprised by posters in some areas of Athens, there is election (local gov'ts) on Sunday the 13th!!. <BR>The weather seems to start getting better after an awful September, but nights are cool.<BR>It's too bad that you will not see the National Museum, since it's closing tomorow! until 2004!<BR>

Don't forget to sample the moussaka and the fish and the yogurt and the olive oil!!!<BR><BR>Oh and the Baklava all of these treats I first experienced in Greece. Have a great trip!!!

Gary,<BR><BR>Have a great trip. I'm so jealous - I have to wait till next year for mine. Looking forward to your posts.

Thanks to all. I will try all the foods.<BR>I love Greek food anyway. I won't let the posters around Athens bother me, I have traveled to many parts of the world and will respect the fact that I am a guest in their country. I fly out in the morning and will probally not be able to sleep tonight..Anita, i will send lotsa feed-back and tons of pictures on the MSN picture site. I already have over 600 travel pics there. I will drink a toast to all who post here on my first night there. Thanks again..

Gary,<BR><BR>You mentioned the MSN picture site - I never go on MSN, but want to see your pictures - where should I go when I log on? I would hate to miss your pics.

Anita, I will post a link here that you just click on and it will take you directly to my picture files..MSN's picture site is awesome..

Garynfla<BR><BR>Thanks a lot. Have a great trip.

Hello Garry!<BR><BR>We haven;t heard from you for a couple of days ...r u in Athens ?? If there is a problem/question concerning Athens let me know..might be able to help.

Yiannis,<BR><BR>Gary left yesterday and should be in Athens today, so I figure we should hear from him by or over the weenend. I can't wait to hear about his trip and see his pictures.

Dear Anita,<BR><BR>Are u from Florida too? (like Gary). I live in Athens, which part of Florida are you from ?? Is your trip next year your first time in Greece? Do you know that a few towns in Florida have Greek names probably given by the first Greek immigrants there...? <BR>Good to hear people from Florida wanna visit Greece...

Dear Yainis,<BR><BR>Yes, I am also from Florida. I do not know Gary in person, just from his posts. I live in Boca Raton. I was in Greece-Athens,Ios & Crete way back when I was a teenager and I can't wait to visit again. It's been too long. So tell me which cities is Florida is greek? <BR><BR>I would love to learn some Greek before my trip. When I was there many years ago I did pick up some phrases, but of course, I've forgot them. I have to find a good dictionary or computer software. I believe that when you travel it is always a good idea to learn enough of the language to get around and the people are very grateful that you bothered to learn their language and customs.<BR><BR>Take care.
