Boomer Travel Deals and Dream Destinations

Greetings and Welcome to Boomer Travel Deals and Dream Destinations.

Yes, Boomer Buddies; Dream Destinations await and “where to?” is the question of the day. As for me, I am not that picky. The thing is, I love to vacation and I love to travel. Lately, I have not done enough of either one. Let me tell you, it is a wonderful world for boomer’s who love to travel. So what? No dream destination…?

As for me, I do have a dream destination: Greece. Maybe you’ve been there.
It is Santorini, which is where I would like to go for my honeymoon. Originally, I wanted to go to Hawaii but after a conversation with my sister I got the Greece bug once again.
Now I am drooling over Greece and can’t wait to go there with my honey.
KalimEra!

Santorini is Magic!
Santorini Scenes

Another friend of mine took a sailing vacation around and through the Greek Islands with her husband and they are still talking about it three years later. How could I possibly forget?! The photo CD’s of their trip are as exciting as any movie and for weeks after watching them Greece kept calling my name- Alexandra…..Alexandra….come to Greece…… I love it.

For some reason I keep longing for thousands years old historic sites and breathtaking mornings with miles of blue ocean and the sites and smells of Greece as I imagine them. Bright white buildings built into cliffs and lots of music and laughter and ancient Greek Orthodox Churches tease my mind endlessly. I wish I could go right now.

Have you seen the magnificence that is Greece yet? No? Perhaps some reawakened Sirens or Trojan horses to beware of? I want to walk on land that Socrates and Aristotle walked on but did you know this; cultured people walked the land of Greece previous to 3600 B.C.?

Just three weeks in a hillside house overlooking Santorini with no technology and not one ringing phone. Give me sunny, outrageously blue skies and endless Aegean blue water, human conversation (non verbal) with the man of my dreams, and lots of walking (as opposed to sitting). That’s all I ask. I’ll be as good as new in no time.

Tell me about your trips to Greece. Tease me with your memories and enlighten me as to the best places to go-on any of the Greek Islands please. Thank you!
And please-do tell all!
