Athens, Greece, Day before 1

Athens awaits us. 

This will be a short blog of our trip to Greece because our trip is short.  My college roommate, Terry Carter and his wife Mary, are frequent travelers of the globe.  They use a travel company called Gate 1 on some of their trips.  Gate 1 specializes in escorted tours and independent travel.  The Carters have been very pleased with the services offered by Gate 1, so we decided to try them out.  We think of this trip as a scout.  A short trip, 6 days.  Montgomery to Atlanta to Paris to Athens.  The travelers are Amanda, Harry, Emily, Jake, Linda and myself.

While in Athens, we will take a walking tour of ancient Athens, take a boat tour of several Greek Islands and enjoy the Greek cuisine.  This will be our first trip to the Grecian Isles and we plan to revisit in the future.  We are looking forward to the trip and I hope you enjoy it as well.

When I started doing these online journals, they were for the benefit of our parents and children.  As time has gone by, they are important to us, because we can look back on the trips we take and remember the adventures we have had.  I hope you enjoy them as well.
