Call me a thief

So I really like Beth's blogging challenge. I've decided to create my own. I've worked out a list of 15 things to blog about, only I'm not going to reveal the list so each day is a surprise. Besides being a copycat, I just feel like my blog has gotten a bit stale: rotating between complaining and talking about running --which is probably only exciting to me. So here we go:

Day 1) Favorite Trip

This is actually harder to decide that I initially thought. So many are my favorites and for different reasons.
Where I've gone:
 2001: Ireland
2006: Jamaica, Duluth, San Francisco
2007: Road Trip followed by cruise to Grand Cayman, Cozumel; Greece; Vegas
2008: Cruise to PR, Saint Maarten/Saint Martin, and St. Thomas; Argentina;  NYC
2009: Road Trip to Toronto, Niagara Falls and NYC

Today I will talk about:  Greece, 2007
This trip was amazing. I was right at a funny point in my life -- things were progressing with my someday fiance and we were talking about moving in. I was freaking out because of the implications of moving in together -- moving 90 miles, committing to a hellish commute. Before that I was doing some things to sabotage myself. So on top of this being a trip with one of my best friends, it was a soul searching trip. I spent 2 weeks sightseeing, relaxing, getting food poisoning from either MSP or Frankfurt airport and then getting sicker than a dog on a ferry from Athens to Mykonos. I also managed to read a book and in general meditate on life. Some pictures that take me back:

 Acro = top of, Polis = city: Acropolis = top of the city....

 With seas that upset, can you see how I wound up sick on the Ferry? This is even calmer than when I was on it!

I was really excited to see just plain skim milk.... not too much of that on the islands!
