I started my journey to Greece aboard a British Air 767. After a long layover in London, a 4-1/2 hour flight to Athens, a 1-hour bus to the port of Piraeus, and a 4-hour fast ferry ride on Hellenic Seaways (the best! a/c, snack bar, tv, comfortable seats), I arrived in Mykonos, and was greeted by Federico Arduino (managing director of Aqualiving/Living International) and Hayden Kemp (Guest relations manager) holding a "Lady Suzanne" sign.

Nothing like starting off your trip feeling like royalty!

I woke the next morning earlier than usual with my body clock being off a bit. I looked out my window to find the most gorgeous view-the sacred island of Delos was golden against the deep blue of the Aegean Sea. I could hear the lapping of the waves against the shore. The Greek islands are a state of mind, tranquil, soothing, rich in history, timeless.... while at the same time very chic. Even with this being my fourth time to these beautiful islands, I'm still in awe, always...
