Technology ??? !!!

Blogs and lists make my head spin. Our daughter, Jamie, blogged every day during her three week trip to Asia. It was fun to read about her experiences and make comments, ask questions and participate in her learning experience. We also have a family page on MyFamily.com which allows us to share pictures, write comments and list birthday present ideas, so I was looking for something different. FOUND it - I will be uploading pictures to create puzzles for my grandsons.



I've also put some captions on pictures we share on MyFamily. here's one. I think they should go to more story times, they like xbox 360.

Making Plans

Flickr has so many beautiful pictures of Mykonos and Santoni, I'm wondering if we'll need totake our camera! We fly into Athens, spend one full day touring, then board a ferry for 4 nights at the Dorion Hotel on Mykonos. It's going to be a tough decision, should we spend our time lying around the pool, relaxing?

Or

should we visit the windmills and "Little Venice"?

Auspicious Start

Since we're going to Athens, then on an island hopping cruise in the Aegean sea, I'm researching some of Greek mythology. We're also visiting Patmos, so we'll be discussing St John and his imprisonment as well.

Our first experience with a cruise started with our ship - Sea Diamond - going to the bottom of the sea. In April, while waiting to dock at Santorini, in calm, sunny weather, the ship hit volcanic rocks (which had been there about 3,000 years) and sank within hours. Looks as though the Captain forgot to look down! Auspicious start? My view is that Greek cruising couldn't be safer now - how can they let a second disaster happen and stay in business?
