Looks like you had a great trip, even with the bad weather. Thanks for all the great pics...
 
You have done what most of us only dream of...my hat is off to the two of you. I could ask a lot of questions on how long to prep, how did you get your plates...etc... If you have a write up on what you went through getting ready for this trip, it would be really cool as you could aide in a fast learning curve.

:thumbsup::bowdown:
 
Wow awesome pics, like Jules said, my mother is from Naples,Italy. One day i hope to go over and visit there, since i have 11 aunts/uncles over there.
 
Wow! Thanks that takes me back to my trip top Greece and the Cyclade Islands.
