GETTING HERE

First let me say that business class is amazing! All you can drink anytime you want and you don't have to pay. Chairs that make into beds - Airbus A340 WOW! Tablecloths on our tables and a 3 course meal. Champagne as soon as we boarded and Bailey's after dinner. MMMmmm.

We arrived in Frankfurt a bit late and then we were delayed at the airport by a security breach. Good thing we had 3 hours between flights as some of the people that were in the lineup with us waiting to go through security were not going to to make their connecting flights. So thank goodness we were ok. Next flight to Athens we were seated with the riff raff!!! No room, not at all relaxing - but it was only 2hours and 40 minutes.



When we arrived at the Athens Airport, our driver was waiting for us, with a Mercedes no less, and we were whisked away to our lovely hotel in downtown Athens.

We walked a couple of blocks to a bar/restraurant and had some dinner and then it was back to the hotel to get some much needed rest! Friday is an all day tour of Athens...so we need to be rested for that!

Next post will come in a few hours ...
