Reuben: Why don't you and drlivingston join me in Greece? (What if I promise John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John will be there and sing!!!)

Only if Captain Travolta is willing to pilot us over there on one of his private jets...

Santorini is an amazing island. I have many memories from when I was last there in 2007. We rented a car and almost went off a cliff driving up to Oia. Yikes!

We're going to Santorini (we sailed by it several years ago but didn't stop) but from your experience it seems it would be wise just to stay in a bar during our visit there!

No, Andy! You must get out and explore. You will probably tender into Old Fira Port. From there, take a donkey up to the main city of Fira (trust me, you DO NOT want to walk up the stairs--biggest mistake of your life). Rent a car from Spiradakos and see the island!! You can't get lost and there is so much to see.

Are you stopping in Kusadasi? If so, I can point you in the direction of several places to have a sip or two.

You will have plenty of time to see the area. I will find my notes. My bit of advice for Ephesus is NOT to wear leather bottom shoes while in port. The city's main street sidewalks are actually finished in marble. If it gets wet... well, let's just say that it's better to have a little traction than to end up in traction.
