I'm Backkkkkkkkkkkk.....

Santorini, where you had to take a cable car or a donkey ride up into the city on the hill.

Santorini .
The Aquamarine.


Greece was absolutely beautiful. We arrived in Greece, via London, on November 7th and after a few minor set backs (one of my bags stayed in London, but caught up with me on the next flight), we boarded the Aquamarine for 5 days of sunny sailing to Mykonos, Santorini, Turkey.
We stayed four extra days in Athens and did day trips on the one day little ships to every other island...Poros, Hydra, and Eugina.....and of course we walked the entire city of Athens and did a little (ok a lot) of shopping.

The weather was nice (in the 70's and 60's). What I loved the most was the food! The Greek salads are to die for as well as their Mousakka. Everything is soooo fresh!

(See ya in a few days.....)

Peace

I will post some more pics later and tell you more detail when I catch up with some sleep and get adjusted to the time change.

Ghouls and Goblins and Ghosts, Oh My.


I was one of three judges at a Halloween Party on Friday. It was at a Benefit Dinner Dance that's held every year for a foundation that helps orphaned children. This was the last year of this benefit that has been held for the past 25 years. Needless to say, lots of people showed up in costume! I'd say there were about 300 people in attendance and the costumes were fabulous.

Of course, we three judges were being schmoozed all night long. There's nothing like having ghouls and goblins and ghosts and zombies coming up and introducing themselves to you.

The costumes were all original and most home made but were really really really great!

Of course I forgot my camera, but I wouldn't have been able to get a lot of pictures, I mean I had a lot of responsiblity! I roved the room just LQQKING! LOL.

Some of the costumes: A group came as the entire cast of Gilligan's Island....boat and all, and each one of them looked exactly like the charactors.

Another group came as Rocky Balboa and that "Russian Guy Fighter" , complete with boxing rink, trainers and the "girls" that hold up the round cards.

There was Bridal Barbie, (box and all!), ghoulish chefs serving candied eyeballs, a group a guys came as Wonder Woman, Supergirl, and other woman super heroes. They made very pretty woman.......

There were a group of bees buzzing, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Vanna White (a man), a fat guy in a bikini.....you name it, it was there.

I had a great time and did a lot of laughing.....all for a good cause.

Random Things....


I'm getting excited....look at my countdown over there...8 more days until my VACATION!!!!!!! I'm also getting sad because I have to leave lil old Snotdog and his Bro, Tank the Terror, home. I'm not worried about anything else cept for that....

I just can't wait. It's been a long time since I traveled outside the country. I'm not sure if I'll blog from there. I'm not bringing my laptop to Greece but I understand there are lots of Internet Cafe's there.

I'm only bringing one suitcase. Do you know how hard that is? I'm going to do it!!

So it's a week before my vacation and I get an abscessed tooth. The dentist tried to save it but I had to get it pulled yesterday. ( I don't want any teeth problems overseas. ) Oh, last night I made escarole and beans and as I was eating the phone rang. Now with my tooth being pulled and my mouth a little numb I said I just sat down to eat my escarole and beans and the person on the other end of the phone thought I said "eskimo" and beans....lmao.
