I have always had traveling issues, so ironically I was very happy when it took us 36 hours to get to Mykonos because it means the rest of my trip is almost guaranteed to go well. (2 hour delay to Philadelphia, then to Frankfurt, to Athens, and then overnight ferry to Mykonos).
I'm in Paros right now, and not the only blogger in the cafe. So far -- I knew Mykonos would be bad when InStyle asked the actress of Big Love for their favorite vacation photos and 2 of them chose Mykonos. Total tourist trap. Delos (historical birthplace of Apollo and Aretemis) was a big rocky island of historical fun, but Mykonos nightlife isn't much after NY.
Paros, on the other hand, is the kind of Greek island where I'd want to buy real estate on. The only detraction so far was the born-again Christian second-hand bookstore person that didn't want my copy of Middlesex because the subject matter was "dodgy". As if hermaphrodites had a choice as to how they turned out. And it's a Greek hermaphrodite, too!
We're scootering across the island tomorrow, so nobody tell my Mum. Some random dude gave us a beach umbrella as we got off the ferry, so I feel obligated to pitch it somewhere and catch up on my dodgy reading.
