I had booked a suite for myself so we would have what I referred to as \u201cParty Central.\u201d&nbsp; I love company, so was always happy when my doorbell rang, even when I had planned to nap (I never did get a chance to nap).&nbsp; The cappuccino maker turned out to be an invitation for visitors.&nbsp; I know nothing about making cappuccino, or any form of coffee, for that matter, so every time someone dropped in for a cup, I\u2019d summon my grandson to come and satisfy these requests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Of course, I realized that we wouldn\u2019t all be together all the time.&nbsp; Everyone went their separate ways during the day, some in small groups and some in large groups.&nbsp; But each evening, we all got together for dinner, where we had reserved two tables for the entire cruise.&nbsp; Most evenings we would all go to my suite after dinner for various activities, among them a family trivia game originated by my grandson and his wife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first stop on the cruise was the island of Corfu, which I would call \u201cThe Kumquat Island,\u201d because everything imaginable is made from kumquats:&nbsp; liqueur, candy, cake, jellies, and much more.&nbsp; This beautiful island is a favorite vacation destination.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-drop-cap wp-block-paragraph\">The next day we went to Santorini, a beautiful sight to see as the cruise ship approached, with all the snowy white buildings perched atop a hill.&nbsp; When we went onto the island we were told we could get to the top \u201cBy tram or by donkey \u2013 same price.\u201d&nbsp; When one envisions Greece, this is probably the island that comes to mind.&nbsp; Many movies were shot there, \u201cZorba the Greek,\u201d \u201cMamma Mia,\u201d \u201cSisterhood of the Traveling Pants,\u201d and \u201cCaptain Corelli\u2019s Mandolin,\u201d to name a few.&nbsp; My grandson and his wife rented a boat and invited me to join them. We took the boat to a lovey beach with black volcanic sand. My grandson and his wife cavorted in the clear blue water. I hadn\u2019t worn my bathing suit, so couldn\u2019t join them.&nbsp; After the boat ride, we rode the gondola to the top of the island and had lunch while looking out over the ocean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The next island we visited was Mykonos, known for its beautiful beaches and its pristine appearance, and it\u2019s also known for its confusing streets that twist and turn, following no particular pattern. They were created in this fashion to confuse pirates, and tourists are confused as well, including us. All the houses and places of business are white, which is a requirement, the penalty for non-compliance being inaccessibility to the city\u2019s water, sewers, or electricity.&nbsp; The exception to the rule is that doors, shutters, and trim may be painted in bright colors \u2013 blue, green, or red.&nbsp; With its underwater beauty, this island is also a scuba diver\u2019s paradise.&nbsp; Some of our party took a ferry to Delos, an island of ancient ruins, off the coast of Mykonos. One of my daughters felt her Greek trip wouldn\u2019t be complete until she had some feta cheese. This goal was accomplished in Mykonos when she had some feta on her salad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The last port of call was Katakolon, where we visited Olympia and were able to see the original Olympic stadium and walk where Olympic athletes had performed.&nbsp; We saw the spot where the torch gets lit for all Olympic games.&nbsp; We also visited a farm where there were several crops, primarily olives of many varieties.&nbsp; We had a typical Greek dinner, after which I was conversing with the captain of our ship and his wife, who happened to be sitting across the table from me, when I heard the strains of a Cretan song that promised the dances I had hoped to see from the moment I arrived in Greece.&nbsp; Sure enough, several of the waiters and waitresses began an authentic Greek dance.&nbsp; Soon they summoned some of the guests to join them and, before long, there was a line of dancers snaking its way around the room.&nbsp; Now that I\u2019d finally seen an Anthony Quinn\/Zorba the Greek-type dance, my Greek Isles experience was complete and I was ready to leave this beautiful place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It all happened in 2015, because our vacation home at Lake Havasu wasn\u2019t being used enough.\u00a0 After having had the place for almost fifty years, it was difficult to part with, but the expenses weren\u2019t worth the one or two times a year the house was used.\u00a0 So I sold it and did well on it financially.\u00a0 My daughter suggested that instead of adding the income to the family trust, I should enjoy it with the family.\u00a0 It sounded like a good idea, so I invited kids, grandkids, great grandkids, and shirt-tail relatives, adding up to a party of twenty.\u00a0 A cruise of the Greek Isles was chosen because of its calm waters, in deference to my son-in-law and anyone else in the group who might suffer from sea sickness.\u00a0 We would all fly to Venice, Italy, the embarkation location.\u00a0 With twenty people planning to go on a trip, I was fearful that someone would get ill and need to cancel, but that didn\u2019t happen.\u00a0 We all made it!\u00a0 My daughter Jeannette did the planning and worked with a travel agent, so all I had to do was hand over the credit card.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4882","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-world-travel"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
