This morning we awoke to the island of Santorini protruding from the ocean outside of our stateroom. Right off the bat, you notice the towering cliffs on the west side of the island made of various layers of volcanic activity. A quick tender ride in and we are at the port to catch a bus … More Our Honeymoon – Day 6 Santorini, Greece
Today is an off day for us and it couldn’t have come at a better time. We’ve been running on amazing food, horrendous coffee and an occasional Guinness. The fact that Guinness is considered a “domestic” beer is music to my ears. I’m not one of the cool kids with a Fitbit to measure my … More Our Honeymoon – Day 5 Cruising in the Aegean

This seems like a yearly social media event for me.
