Better late than never...

OK so we haven't been as good at this as we hoped. We were adjusting to time zones and there has been so much to do!

Our flight was pretty good and we met some Greek friends in Montreal, who gave us some Greek lessons and tips on getting around Athens. They were awesome. We even got a dinner invite, but it was in a small town 3 hours away.

Cousin Danny's apartment was interesting, to say the least. After 12 hours sharing a twin bed, next to a naked girl, showering in cold water in the dirtiest tub known to man, we made an executive decision to get a hotel. We were going to this hotel later in the week so just came early. It's really clean, there are no naked roommated, and the staff is great. We have a huge balcony overlooking the downtown area.

The first day, Danny took us to the Acropolis and the original Olympic stadium from 1896. We got some great photos posing like Olympians. The Acropolis is definitely an amazing site and its history is surreal. We'll post photos later :)

We hung out with Danny and his study abroad friends for St. Patty's Day at the only Irish bar in Athens. We sung Tom Petty and the Counting Crows at the top of our lungs and danced to Irish music. It was a great time.

We just finished climbing the highest hill in Athens and have walked ourselves to death... we need gyros and coke light. We'll write more soon!!

Away we go

We're getting ready to leave for our Big Fat Greek Adventure- a flight to Montreal with a FIVE HOUR layover, then off to Greece. This teaches us to buy our tickets earlier!

Annie and Suzanne versed each other in Wheel of Fortune to see who would get the aisle seat, and even though Suzanne won (twice), Annie still thinks she's getting it.

At 4am US time, we'll be arriving in Athens at 10am Greece time. We've been bouncing off the walls all morning!! And Annie is hoping Lloyd Christmas is our car driver.

So we are off! Check back tomorrow and keep up with our Big Fat Greek Adventure!

Have fun NOT being on vacation. Love ya :)

Goodbye grey skies, hello baklava!

It's official-

Tickets are bought, our flights are booked (with a 12-hour layover) to Athens, Greece!

Suzy can't wait to tour the Acropolis and study Greek architecture, while Annie is looking forward to riding a donkey and eating souvlaki.

We wanted to introduce you to our blog, so you can envy us while we're sailing the Greek Isles, snacking on olives (BARF!).

We leave New York on March 15th and return on March 24th. We'll be spending Easter in Athens, roasting lamb on a spit and eating red-dyed eggs.

Here's your official invite to keep up with us on our adventure.

OPA!
