Vacation in Greece

[Mnemosyne]

I think that I might go to Greece this summer. Even though I have looked at some travel books on Greece, I am still stuck on where to go. I want to visit some place that has a beautiful beach and/OR lovely ancient culture. Do you guys have any suggestions on where to go? I would appreciate your input immensely. I am just stuck after seeing that there are so many places and island to choose from.

unfortunately as of now we're in the same boat... going nowhere...

I can't decide where to go either :eek:

[shnen]

Can you pack me in your suitcase??? PPLLEEASSSEEE???;)

[shnen]

*presents shnen with a kinda small suitcase*

if you can get in there you can go... i'll just say it's a life size doll of some sort...

[Mnemosyne]

Shnen, there will be room in my suitcase, since I only need to take a bathing suits, towels, and sunscreen. However, I think that your hat with the moon and the stars on it might take up more room than anticipated. :p

[shnen]

:rotfl:
Really? :dis: well... hmm... You don't need towels, the hotel will supply them! :D

See, now my hat will fit! :D:D:D

[Mnemosyne]

True! Who needs towels anyway? The hot sun will dry us off anyway. Phew, I didn't want you to go without your hat. Dalia, would be disappointed that you wouldn't be able to show the world of your lovely gift.

[shnen]

I know! I couldn't leave home without it! :lol:
About 3000 people at my work saw it all day Thursday... they wanted me to wear it again on Friday too!!! :D;)

mama mia!:eek:

[Dalia]

Yeah and, whenever you saw a long long long line, well that's the bathroom LOL! :lol:

[Dalia]

Oh, did I mention that in some palces you have to pay to use the bathroom :eek: incredible but true :rolleyes:

Yeah, in Poland bathrooms are guarded by evil-tempered gorgons who expect to get tipped for just standing there. I got into an argument with one once because she wouldn't tell me which of two doors was the ladies' room (there were no signs). So I started to leave the building without putting zlotys in her dish & she threw a fit. We gestured wildly & yelled at each other for a while & accomplished nothing. She either couldn't or wouldn't speak English & my Polish was limited to 'please', 'thank you', 'How much does this cost?', & something guaranteed to get me company if I hung around the docks.
Finally I insulted her heritage & complete lack of style & stomped off. I went into the next building & found the same situation: two doors with a gorgon, standing between them at a desk with a tip basket. I put on my best helpless tourist look & she laughed hysterically & pointed to the right one. She got a tip & the money that the first gorgon expected.

Have a great time in Greece, sweetie.

Oh my, you guys have helped me narrow down my decision. Yep, that's right; I would prefer to go to a place with a bathroom. :D I don't consider myself high maintenance, but I sure would be in for a big shock if there were bathroom problems.

[shnen]

yeah, a bathroom is one of those places where you just don't want to admit anyone else has ever been there before! :lol:

When I went on a tour in Cuba, I really had to go, and I had to pay .50 cents US (like .75 CAD) for a sheet of one ply toilet paper, the place had no doors, no flushing toilets, this lady went in after a few with a bucket of water to wash it down! *bleh*

That was my only bad washroom experience there though... and hey, not like ours here in Toronto are any better! :lol: but we get our toilet paper for free!
