We are here and already enjoying ourselves. We have met WeloveABD, meflick and tufbuf. Wonderful putting faces to names. I'm keeping a trip report log on my computer and will report some when we return. A nice note to mention. On the 9th floor of the hotel is a Michelin one star restaurant. It's a little too pricey to take our family of 5, but not outrageous for a couple. The best thing about it, not knowing what the food is like from a personal perspective, is the amazing view of the Parthenon at night.
A tip for anyone coming on this trip. We downloaded Rick Steves audio tour of the national museum on our ipods and phones and listened to them as we toured the museum. It was my husband's idea and worked out really well. Even our kids liked it. We had to share earbuds (only one ear each)for my son and I, so we were kind of like conjoined twins for a few hours. My son says, no we weren't. Anyway, there are a number of Athens tours that you can get from Rick Steves.
More ideas as we get them.
