skopelos - getting there...

many have already expressed their excitement 
to see my photos from our trip!
i'm excited to share them.

these are from day 1 and 2 - since it took that long to get there!
to get to our destination we were on 3 airplanes, one taxi and a ferry.
unfortunately we spent as much time sitting in airports as we did flying.

first we flew from toronto to philly.
this is the airport in philadelphia,
it was the middle of the day, 
but it felt like we were the only ones there...

from philly we flew to athens and then 
hopped on to this little plane to skiathos.
a view of greece from the window.
a few quick shots of skiathos, 
after we got our ferry tickets 
and enjoyed our first of many 'balls' of gelato.
(they call them balls - not scoops!)


 then an hour long ferry ride to the island of skopelos!
jude was feeling pretty happy 
to be on the boat and almost at our destination.
and looking pretty good 
for just an hour or two of sleep on our overnight flight...


our first glimpse of the town where we would be spending our week:
 the amazing guy i got to spend my week with:
 we left our home at 6:30am est on thursday,
and arrived in skopelos around 9:30pm friday night.
the farthest that both jude and i have ever travelled,
but definitely worth it as you'll see in the photos to come.

Looks amazing Cheryl! I was thinking of you today as we were chatting at one of our local beaches tonight with Scott's massage therapist and his partner who happens to work in restorative justice. I mentioned that I had an old friend who was in Greece with her husband for a conference and she knew all about it! Small world, isn't it?
