If you pay a Euro

You want to get all you can for your money. We went to an Internet Cafe (1 Euro for 1-15 minutes) to check my email because I have no contact with my mom and dad since we don't know how to use their phone. When trying to unlock the phone, we ended up putting it into another mode that you can't even try the password anymore. YIKES! Anyway, they have not checked their email today, so I didn't have an answer on how to use the phone or whether or not Corban is okay. I am sure he is having a fabulous time with grandma, but this is the first time mom and dad have left the little one.

So we have embarked on a 3 day cruise. I must say that the ship itself is leaves a lot to be desired- Aquamarine doesn't really compare to Freedom of the Seas. However, when you look at the price difference (FREE for Aquamarine...because we have fabulous parents), it is expected. Thus far we have seen our room, picked up a blow dryer, opted out of the standard 80 Euros a day for gratuity, and eaten in a buffet that we probably won't go back to. After that, some time in the room gave us rest before arriving at MYKONOS.

This really is a lovely Island off Greece. Wish I could upload photos for you. The streets are enchanting with cobblestone streets and ALL the buildings are concrete-white stucco, with colored trim (mostly sea blue in color). We are off to hopefully find Little Venice, get some pictures of the sunset, and then we board the boat again.

Well my time it up, but I have got to say that 1 Euro for 1-15 minutes beats the 1 Euro per minute on the ship!

We love you all!
