We Have Arrived

After a twelve hour flight finally, Athens. Olympic Airlines didn't disapoint. I had low expectations and so it was. The only good thing this, the flight wasn't full so there was lots of room to stretch out. I scored a row of four seats and was able to stretch out and snooze most of the flight. The food was abysmal but the flight attendants were friendly, definitey a bonus. I guess since the airline has been sold everyone is worried about their jobs.


This is our new apartment. We have bought a two bedroom unit on the second floor. On a clear day you can see the Mediterranean.

For the moment it's fairly empty. We have a little fridge, a blow up bed and a couple of patio chairs. Of course I expect that to change fairly quickly. On Saturday I leave for Germany for one week and during that time my sweetie will get us a new fridge, a stove and a washing machine. There will also be some furniture from his late mother's home that we can have. When I return we will see what else needs to be bought. I think a trip to IKEA is in the cards.

It's kind of exciting furnishing another home. I think our plan for this apartment is to rent it out during some of the summer months to tourists. It would be a waste to have it empty ten months of the year.

I will not post from Germany since I'm not taking the laptop. I'm going to have enough trouble just taking me...
