Right! I’m not a secret keeper. 😉

Oh, I’ll definitely be sober to hike. I’ve seen a lot of slick rock, step, street warnings.

I’ll get you ready to book it hopefully.

Glad to have you!

Thanks! It’s gonna be a blasty blast.

I definitely plan to see a lot! It’s a marathon, not a sprint. As far as “before drinking”, I can’t make too many promises, but I’m pretty functional and highly motivated. 😉

I mean we’ve all virtually been with Sid,@TxTeach79,Greg 😑, Eli and Intrepid… I was enjoying it. 😆

The next adventure has started.

I would seek him out in the dining room as soon as you board. Good luck. I believe set dining time will work best for that.

Onto the next!

Started!

I thought it was reasonable. At the very least, he’ll at least know where he’s going since he works for the hotel. Plus, the driver’s name is Nick. How can we go to Greece and NOT have a driver named Nick?!

If it’s not a thing, it should be. 😉 Thanks for coming along.

Pre-cruise- since I’m not exactly sure how DH will do with jetlag and IF I’ll actually sleep on the overnight flight, I’ve elected to save the Acropolis and what not until after we’ve disembarked. I found the Hotel Thissio in Athens with a great view, good location and priced right for pre-cruise accommodations. After booking, they messaged me offering airport to hotel transportation. At first, we were going to take the train, but with the luggage, it seemed easier to take them up on the offer for 30 euros and have a personal driver into Athens proper. The plan is to check in, freshen up, have some cocktails, and a rooftop dinner nearby. 🤞🏻 Let’s all hope that works out. 😆🥂🇬🇷

This trip was unexpected. I did NOT think we would be cruising this summer, but in the middle of March, some things fell into place and through work, I get to go on this lovely voyage. For those that are new, this will be my third sailing with VV. Nov. 2022, we sailed the Scarlet Lady. Jan. 2023, we were on the Valiant, and soon to be on Resilient. This is our first time to Greece, and DH’s first trip outta North America. When we found out about this, DH wasn’t happy that he was going to have to use vacation days, but since then, he’s come around so much that we added extra days to the end after disembarking. Originally, he wanted to leave the 3rd, but I wasn’t chancing it with flight delays and interruptions… I don’t think it’s worth possibly missing the ship to get there the day of the cruise, so we fly out of DFW June 2nd, landing the 3rd and embarking the 4th. I extensively watched flights for several weeks, even though we were all ready behind. At first, it looked like we were going to go with Air Canada… the Spirit Airlines of the north, but then British Airways came out of nowhere with the perfect itinerary to fit our needs. American Airlines to DC, BA to Heathrow, then on to Athens. We will land in Athens about 2pm and hit the ground running.

“There’s two types of people: Greeks and everybody else who wishes they was Greek” - Gus Portokalos Good evening, Cruise Critic! I’m interrupting all the other European lives to start my own. Join me as we fly to Athens and embark on the new-ish Resilient Lady calling on Santorini, Rhodes, Bodrum and Mykonos (for an overnight), then back to Athens for 2 days and a long layover in London. We will get all those daily planners, see the new shows, try the new menus, and as always, have a ton of cocktails. So hit that follow button, pack your air tag, and Let’s do Greece the Virgin Way! 🥂🥂

I just saw an interview with his fiancé. She said “he leaned over (his balcony) and fell”. That’s interesting.

😑

Oh wow.

I had no idea this place existed. And to the contrary, thanks to Patti’s pictures, I definitely feel like I need to stop here. I need more info. Why is this a thing? Who decided to do this here? Why isn’t this mini golf rated higher than the pirate place?! All the questions.

Wow
