The End

I'm sitting here in the Toronto airport waiting on our delayed flight back to the US. We hopped off our 11 hour flight from Athens and rushed through the airport as we had one hour before our plane was to take off. Then made it to the boarding line just in time for the boarding to start before we were told it was delayed. So needless to say I'm not going to miss the traveling part.

Final thoughts:

This was an amazing experience for me, and I'm so glad I was able to do it.

If I had to rank the islands we visited over the last 18 days I would say:
#1 Folegandros - hands down the best we visited in all ways
#2 Naxos - beautiful beaches as well as lots to see on the island
#3 Hydra - I liked the lack of cars and noise associated with them (especially the honking)
#4 Sikinos - this would have probably ranked higher had we spent more time here, but the food options are limited and you all know I love food
#5 Santorini - there was stuff to do here, but the beaches weren't very good (I literally had a beer can hit me in the rib cage while I was telling Bob about how I didn't enjoy the Perissa Beach at Perissa Beach) and it was more crowded
#6 Mykonos - although we were only here for 3 hours, I didn't enjoy the crowds or the town; it wasn't as nice as the others


I will miss the food in Greece a lot. Especially gyros. I savored my gyros yesterday and was sad knowing it was probably my last.

To those who made it with me to the end, thanks for reading.
