As to ^^^ , I have no clue as to what that means and I'm scared/not willing to ask.
SGCard: Thanks for the advice, though I hope you realize I am a girl and admiring all the beautiful women per se won't be on my list of things to do, hahahahha.
But getting into Turkey is something I will probably won't try (re: political strife and travel advisories).
For the first week, I'll be situated in Athens, staying first at the Hotel Carolina and then probably at the Theseus or the Orion (I'll keep the Pink Palace in mind, that is, if the prices are right
). From there, it'll be Naupflion, Thessaloniki (sp?), Knossos(Crete), Paros, Olympia, Corinth, Santorini, Mycenae, Sparta (not in that order) and a few more places (when I get the finalized list I'll post it).
If you want to live vicariously through me, you need to give me some vicariously-living money! J/K. But thanks again for the advice. I'll keep y'all updated!
