mitigating distance

The Pandemic kept us all away from our dear ones for far too long. I mean, it’s bad enough going through that living in the same country, let along when all your extended family members and friends are in different countries.

But this is a new experience for me. I am meeting my best friend (who loves in the Netherlands) in Santorini, Greece. We can only mean so many “we gotta catch up sometime soon” promises…

Meeting to catch up over (probably quite a few drinks) and a little chill out and local sightseeing to do find THE compulsory ritual selfie.

We decided to book this back in April, when a lot of the travel restrictions ahead were still very fuzzy. We knew there was a good chance we might have to cancel but we thought it was worth the risk.

Plus the prices were good, the timing was right, the children would have settled in school (as if they ever) and we can use the long break without them, to recharge.

So we reserved a double bedroom in a 4* hotel on the most recommended time of the year to travel to Greece. When the weather in our respective countries of residence is starting to get grim, we nip into a warm one to give our end of summer ran a top up.

Let the adventure begin!
