Our Excellent Return to the Sea – Part 4
It’s been six days since I last wrote anything about our trip, which is unusual for a three-week vacation. I always bring my laptop with me, and I try to write a little every day, especially in the early morning when Barb is still asleep. I’m going to catch up on most of the things that have occurred over the…

Our Excellent Return to the Sea – Part 3
Sick It’s not unheard of for any of us to get sick while traveling. It doesn’t happen on every trip and when it has occurred in the past it’s more or less just been an inconvenience and recovery is often very quick. This isn’t one of those trips. As of this writing on Sunday morning, I’ve been sick for about…

Our Excellent Return to the Sea – Part 2
The Island Our flights from Vancouver to Santorini were uneventful, but it’s always tiring to travel so far, and fully getting over jet lag will take some time. It’s a 9-hour time difference from Vancouver, and it always takes a toll and a day or two to start sleeping normally. I’m writing this section at 6 AM on the first…

Our Excellent Return to the Sea – Part 1
Barb and I were reminiscing how it’s been 30 years since we first visited Santorini.

Who knew back then that we would get to see so…

Barb and Baden’s Excellent Greek Adventure – Part 3
This will be a bit of an unusual blog update. We’ve just finished our 7-day cruise through the Greek islands. Unfortunately, my laptop and iPad were stolen from the hotel in Athens literally minutes before we were transferring to the port to start our cruise so I’m pretty restricted in blogging and have no ability to post photos until we…

Barb and Baden’s Excellent Greek Adventure – Part 2
More Athens When you get to a new city you obviously want to sped some time looking at the highlights that it has to offer, trying to soak up the culture and vibe and to generally see what makes that city unique. From Barb’s and my experience, only spending two (full) days in a large city like Athens is pretty…

Barb and Baden’s Excellent Greek Adventure – Part 1
This trip to Greece is 20 years in the making. It was in 1994 that we made our only visit to Greece and it happened to be on our honeymoon. For two decades we’ve talked about returning to Greece and decided a few years ago that it would be fun to do it this year for our 20th anniversary. When…
