Ask questions, meet dancers, and be part of the conversation.
Greek islands; Paros and Astypalaia are on our (that is me and my friends) list. DEFINITELY not going anywhere with my parents, that's for sure.

Oh wow, how exciting! That sounds awesome!Big, big plans ... To celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary, DH and I are taking a Mediterranean cruise. We'll be in Athens on May 30 and Navplion on May 31, among other places. Had fantasies of saying hi to T_E in Athens, but will probably just do the usual tourist things (having never been there). Seriously, T_E, do you have any hints on the best way to see the must-see sites? The usual cruise-line shore excursions always seem so sterile and plastic, but unless you know something about where you're going, they have the advantage of at least being safe.
Before the cruise, we plan a dance excursion in Hungary with friends, and a train ride to Istanbul ... we're getting very excited.
Sadly, that cruise ship (the Sea Diamond) sank and there are still 2 people unaccounted for. The rest are all safe and sound.speaking of which, i saw the news report & a video of the cruise ship that struck a reef off of santorini... a little bit of drama over your way, huh?
