Help Meri plan a Grand Adventure (tm)

[Monoriu]

Riley is interested in going, and she's suggested Greece.

Thoughts?

We went to Greece many years ago.  At that time we weren't used to planning trips, so we made lots of mistakes.  Biggest one was we stayed in Athens for far too long.  We thought taking a cruise was sufficient to fulfill the 'Greek island' thing.  Athens was nice, but only for 2-3 days max.  Should have actually stayed in the Greek islands.  Should have visited and stayed in other Greek cities.  Also, don't go during Christmas.

Why's everyone always picking on Mono? 

It's ok to bully mono, he's just Chinese, but god help us if he was a black author.

I don't invite them. This is a mother-daughter thing.

That being said, I still owe Jerome a trip out of the country.

Thanks. This is helpful.

Just came back from northern Greece. It's glorious, like the rest of the country.
If I ever retire abroad it will be a toss up between Greece and Italy, Greece may have the edge now.

Don't go in summer, though. It's stupid hot.

Wherever we go, it will be in March.

That's perfect for Greece, if possible try to be there at Easter (Julian calendar).
Very interesting time with good food and beautiful ceremonies, and you get to fire rockets at churches.
