I was supposed to do a long and thoughtful and detailed entry a while ago on the crazy rollercoaster that has been my life for the past few months or so. The rollercoaster fortunately let me get off on solid ground a couple months ago, after a turbulent yet ultimately incredibly fulfilling ride, but I think I had to take some time to process everything...

So much to document and reflect on but for now, I'll just have to say a rather inappropriate "screw it all" because I have a plane to catch in a few hours!

What a cheap thrill it is to be able to say that because...

For the first time in my life, I can honestly say and feel that I actually deserve to go on a vacation. There is definitely something to be said for working your little arse off and then taking off for an Aegean adventure.

Am off to discovery and relaxation and tourist archaeology and female bonding and souvlaki on the streets of GREECE.This is a place that has been so vivid in my mind just from pictures and images and now I get to take it all in for real. (Okay, I'll admit it... this probably has much to do with "Traveling Pants.")

So raising my glass of ouzo to a week in Athens, Mykonos, and Santorini!

How does one say "eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" in Greek?
