  • 1 May - 3 June: USA (West Coast)
  • June 5 Onwards: Recovery!

22/1 - Flights Confirmed

Today was a day for mini deadlines. We had to confirm our flights by today, pay the deposit due and finally decide on a travel insurance company to go with. This should be a quick and simple decision however it was made difficult for us due to my pre-existing conditions. Bugga! We tried to change our arrival time into Athens from 2.30am, but as we found out this is the only filight in from Heathrow, so we're stuck with it. It will be a very long day for all of us, particularly with the ferry to Santorini taking 7 hrs, so by the time we arrive, I'm sure we'll all feel like crashing.
