Although we thought we might skip Greece in 2012 I have now over-compensated for that and we will be going twice, both times to places previously visited.
I went to Corfu in 1984 and stayed at the resort of Perama south of Corfu Town, in July this year we will travel to Kalami Bay in the north-east of the island and will be taking a holiday with my daughter and two granddaughters so I am especially looking forward to that. In 1984 we could see nearby Albania but certainly couldn’t go there but now it is open for business so I hope that will mean an opportunity to visit one more European country as part of my quest to see them all.
Cheap flights from Leeds/Bradford airport to Kos in the Dodecanese were too good to resist. Kos was the first Greek island that I ever visited nearly thirty years ago in 1983 so it will be good to go back and see how much it has changed.
Thank you

Hi Andrew (Andy) and Kim,
nice to see the photo in the blog.
We haven’t read it all fully yet but will try to keep in touch with it.
We’ve already booked from the 28th of August till the 16th of September through Easyjet for Ios next year.
Bit more expensive than last year but to be expected.
It worked out at £171 each including baggage etc.
Anyway we hope you are both well.
Don’t know your address so we’ll send an email Christmas card.
Ps Vangelis and Antonia celebrate their 40th wedding annivesary next September.
Speak soon,
All the best,
Martin/Lisa x
Dear Andrew,
it’s Per from Sixt UK and I just wondered how you are getting on and what travel plans you might have in the pipeline.
all the best, Per
Hi Per, thanks for the message. I am going to Croatia & Montenegro and have car hire through Economy Car Rental, I have used them before and I like them. In August I am going to France and taking my own car (Golf Blue Motion, very eco friendly) and in September I am going to Greece and will not drive at all. An interesting article in the Saturday Times today about Car Hire additional charges, did you see it? What did you think about it? Was it fair? I have to say that in my experience probably not, I have never had any difficulties with anyone. Regards, Andrew.
Friend, I though your traveling posting give me refrence for planning of my family’s next vacation. TY.
Hope you enjoy the islands around the sacred island of Delos,as always.Autumn is the best choice through and through,as you know.
“The White Sugar Cube Houses” (so sweet…) in the Cyclades will be waiting,ready to do their best for you and yours…
Best wishes
Very jealous..looks amazing!
You’re gonna fall in love with Moscow and St. Petersburg !

Thanks, I am really looking forward to it!
I loved Amsterdam. Was there only two days. Horrible weather so headed back to Paris. But it is one of the few places I would return to until now.
By the way, how can I plant a visitor flag? Though I live in the US I am from Paraguay and I don’t think you have had visitors from there.
Thanks for the comment. To plant a flag I think you have to physically visit from the country and then it updates automatically.
Im envious! I wish I have that travel plans as well! Happy traveling!
Hello, Andrew. I have been reading your blog, it looks like my weekend is taken care of …very interesting.
My Husband and I live in Moscow, so if you need any assistance whilst visiting, we will be quiet happy to help. I’m Russian and my husband is Australian, hence no language barriers, there
Being seasoned travellers, we are also living our dream. Recently, we returned for our 3 months Australian Outback adventure. Unfortunately, my blog is in Russian, nonetheless, I have uploaded a lot of photos showing the beautiful outback. We have plans to open an English blog in the near future). http://anaustralianodyssey.wordpress.com/
Look forward to updates!
Thanks for reading and the comment. I really like the pictures on your blog and it’s worth reading even though I can’t! Really looking forward to visiting Russia and thanks for the help offer.
Andrew, thank you for your reply. I just remembered that you can read the blog in Google translate. The translation is not perfect, but you will get a good enough understanding of the story. Below I forward the link for your convinience. In the not to distant future hopefully we’ll have the blog translated to English.
Cheers, Natasha

You have some great trips planned for this year…will look forward to reading about them!
Sounds like my kind of year. Sigh!
I am a bit late this year and have only just returned from the first trip of the year, a mini-cruise (actually a ferry crossing) and a night in Amsterdam. I need to start looking now for some flight bargains for the autumn. Have you any special plans for 2012?
Hi Andrew, chanced upon this and realised its almost May i.e. you will be heading to Russia soon? I’ve recently put up a bit of text on my site regarding my trip to Russia – Moscow in particular, the Peterhof in St Petersburg – I wish I stayed there but I don’t.. Do drop by if time permits, and most importantly have a great time in Russia!
PS. got a bit confused with your other bag site but I think I’m following both now!
You should visit Serbia
especially Novi Sad, the cultural cradle of Serbia.
Thanks, I’ll put it on my ‘to visit’ list
