so im going to greece alone

it's pathetic that it was so hard for me to make this decision.

fucking money. i hate it. i hate the fixation on it. i hate that lives end because of it. i hate that wars start because of it. i hate that families end because of it or people go into depression because of it.

so i said fuck you to money and booked a 800 dollar flight to athens with 2o00 dollars in the bank.

because really money can be re-earned, but the memory of going to greece alone at age 25 for four days, with no guide, no companion, nothing...this is priceless.

i used my credit card for the first time in 2 years.

wanna know the last time i used it?


to go to kenya...


i see a trend here.

itinerary:
sept. 18th leave for athens
sept 19th arrive in munich, stay for 2 hours
sept 19th arrive in athens at 11pm (so scary, but itll be fun)
sept 19th - take a taxi to the Apollo hotel in Athens and stay the night
sept 20th - take the metro to the Piraeus port and take a 2 hour ferry to Agistri (greek island)
sept 20th - hang out in Agistri, stay at Hotel Diyonosous
sept 21st - take 10 min. speed boat to Aegina (another greek island)
sept 21st - hang out, stay at Hotel Rachel (maybe)
sept 22nd - leave Aegina on ferry and go back to athens
sept 22nd- hang out in athens (i really need to brush up on my history because i dont know crap about parthenon, acrapolis, etc), stay at Hotel Apollo
sept 23rd - leave Athens, return to LAX

pretty good right? for not knowing anything about Greece and working with $1200...=)


love being single, love being 25, love being free to do my own thing, love credit cards

thanks God for not saying no...=) because i really did ask...seriously.
