Hi, all! Tomorrow morning we will head for the Greek island we decided to go in the vacation. This island is Lesbos (Lesvos). I didn't want to hear about any other island this year. Why? Take a look here and you'll understand immediately  : www.lesvos.com/petrifiedforest.htmlFirst, we were not sure about getting there, because from Athens it's a 12 hours sailing trip and both me and my daughter have sea-sick. But we discovered a route via Turkey, which is shorter and the ship crossing is just 1 hour. So, see you in about two weeks, I hope I'll be able to post some interesting pics from there when I'll return. Adrian |

Have a great trip Adrian! Looks like you're going to have some amazing pictures for us! Don't know how much sailing you do - but there's something called a Relief Band that is used for sea-sickness that really seems to work. We went on a whale watching cruise off the coast of California a few years ago - Melissa get sea sick fairly easily and didn't want to risk so we rented one of these (offered by the boat owners) and it really helped - there were lots of green (sick!  ) people who hadn't rented one of these at the back of the boat as the day wore on - but she was fine. It works by sending an electrical pulse to stimulate nerves right against the inside of your wrist. Barely noticeable, wear it like a watch - and seemed to do the trick. I believe these also work for nausea due to pregnancy, chemo treatments, etc. Just fyi - don't know that you have a big enough need for one - I think they run a little over $100 - but are reusable. Won't help you much for this trip - but maybe something to keep in mind for future trips. Anyway - have a safe and picturesque trip! |

You're right, Snowdog, there were some dancers a couple of nights ago, but didn't see/smell/drink any beer! I think all my sences were still focused on the pet wood I've seen.  Adrian |

Hi everyone!
Was it yesterday when I wrote the lines above saying good bye to you, folks? To me it seems so!
I'm back, it was wonderful, I saw the petrified forest, the beaches and the weather were fine. I'm very tired now and the house is full of unpacked, packed and half-packed things.
I'll be back here tomorrow with pictures and in a few days with a contest about my vacation. So stay tuned!
Adrian

Glad to hear you enjoyed your vacation. I've heard a lot about fires in Greece on the news here, hope they didn't cause any problems for you. Looking forward to the pictures!

Welcome Back! Was starting to worry that perhaps you were lost in that Petrified Forest. Really looking forward to seeing pix from the trip! Lady B |
