Opa! It seems like this tour has just whizzed right on by. It’s already day 8! Today we explore Corfu Town and journey up to the Achílleion Palace where we will see some great artwork and learn about the tragic life of Empress Elizabeth of Austria. Later on, we have a special dinner planned at the Tripa Taverna – the oldest taverna on Corfu. Vamos!

Kalemera! Good day and welcome to Greece! Today the vacation kicks off in earnest. After a night of well-deserved and restful sleep, we are ready to discover the myths and mysteries of Athens. Let’s get started…
Ah… the long, torturous day(s) of flying. I got up at 5:30 am. I protested, but my mom insisted that we HAD to be at the airport at least 2 hours early, more if possible. I thought this was ridiculous. I’ve never encountered a situation where I needed TWO WHOLE HOURS to get through security and check in at the gate. That was before this day. I stand corrected.

Winding down, winding down… Hello friends, and welcome to day 10 of my Paris trip blog. Only one more day to go before I have to say au revoir to the lovely city of Paris and head on home. Today was another leisurely day. I went to a fancy lunch at the Place de Vosges and then spent the afternoon at the Louvre. Yup, I HAD to go back. (Okay, click away.)

Welcome to the ninth day of my trip to Paris! I hope you have enjoyed tagging along with me on the journey so far. Today was another lazy day. I got up, looked outside, and saw that it was pouring rain. So I laid around the pad with a cup of coffee and worked on my blog. The rain was still coming down when the afternoon rolled around, so I decided to brave it and go check out the Musee D’Orsay. Later on in the evening, we went to a local Moroccan themed restaurant for some good eating. Anyway, prepare for more pictures of art, and, of course, more boobies too! (Okay, you can click the link now.)

Welcome to day 8! I don’t have too much for today as I slept half of it away (hey, I’m not a morning person). In the afternoon I walked around the corner to the Musée de Picasso. Later on in the evening we caught an exotic strip show at the Crazy Horse. Of course you want to read on! (So click the link, click NOW.)
