Symi to Split
I know, a strange headline, but today’s post is about our honeymoon trip, which is now (partly) organised. We wanted to let everyone know what the plan was so that those wonderful people who contributed to the fund will know that they are responsible for sending us. You can also see that your donations have been used, as promised, on the trip and not handed over in varying amounts to certain bars in the village. Thanks to Expedia, we have arranged the big part of the trip and have a little left over for spending when we are there.
So, we can now say to people that ‘we are going to Split on our honeymoon,’ which is a play on words that appeals to me. We chose it because we haven’t been to Croatia, it looks good, and from there we can spend a few days exploring other parts of the coast. I’ve spent the last couple of days being a travel agent and looking at all kinds of possibilities, finally settling on Expedia to arrange me the flights and a hotel. The trip is from Athens and back because, on the return journey, we want to try the Athens to Symi route on the Blue Star. So, all we need to do now is arrange the flight up to Athens, a hotel there on the way back and then the ferry once the timetable is published and bookable. Helpfully nothing will change, and we’ll have the same timetable as this year.
So, now you know all that, it just remains to say another huge thank you to everyone who contributed and who has made this possible. There will, of course, be photos and blog posts about it when we get back – the trip is planned for next March so that I am there for my birthday. More about all that in due course.
Have a good weekend.
