Wishing you all a great Tea Party – will take a sip of tea and toast you all.

The more “Tea Party’s” the better.

Show them the way.

Best wishes to and for America and the world on Inauguration day.

America! The people of America, maintain your lead, your shining example for the future of progress and liberty.

Greece long ago, was the source for democracy and the admiration of knowledge, progress and intelligence. Still a great country to visit, Greece is, but lost along the path with regard to freedom and democracy. America show us how….reinvigorate the ideals the USA was founded upon.

The benefit of highly useful information
(not population figures and GDP ! )

The benefit of clear prices, clearly stated
(not pre-tax, per person mysteries)

The benefit of frank – honest descriptions
(not the same jargonistic and waxing-lyrical wording)

The benefit of an easy to use, fast-loading website
(help is at hand, pictures, maps and quality)

The benefit of a selection of gems-of-hotels and villas
(we select, we inspect, we know them)

The benefit of good and numerous photos
(One grainy little photograph just won’t do ! )

Perhaps this is Web 5.0 ! Or perhaps it is SuperbGreece.com !

Travel that’s a delight from the moment you think “where shall I go ? “

We are fortunate to be free to travel, relatively free to conduct business and go about our lives as we think fit.

Let us not allow the false romance of sticks of good tobacco and flowering oratory create a memory or epitaph (for it will surely be soon) that is more romantic than deserved.

The romance for Cuba may we hope, start again today.

Best wishes on Indepence day – July 4th .

Remember freedom for the individual is an essential foundation of a great country, a great society and for the triumph of intelligence and creativity over ignorance. A cause worth fighting for.

The enjoyment of travel is one of many freedoms worthy of a man or woman’s time and expenditure.

We are delighted to help those choosing the great rewards that travel can bring. Not to forget enormous pleasure and rejuvenation.

It is that time when many turn the lights down low in their factories, offices and dens.
It is that time to remember the brave and bold beneficial actions you have taken during the year.
It is that time to adopt the resolve and muster the determination to do greater things in the year about to be offered us as a new canvas on which to achieve more and move forwards.

We wish you the strength to act from honesty and logic, to add your words asserting the rights every man and woman have to freedom and an expansive, growing experience of life.

Let us not mince our words and let us in the free world or those who know that life is best lived trying, creating, attempting, inventing, improving in every way we can – improve the world for ourselves and therefore for others everywhere.

Gain learning, knowledge, clarity, logic and humor.

Here is a toast – wishing you strides forward in whatever productive and better direction you know you want to go.

Here’s to freedom and the bold and daring progress and triumphs of mankind.

Best wishes for a Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate. Whether it is with a Turkey for dinner, a family group or a bunch of good friends or welcome acquaintances – enjoy it and value all that is honest, cheerful and positive.

Do take time to discuss ideas than can improve your lives and the lives of others in a truly productive viable way – the ways that work.

We lost two major figures who had firm beliefs in the freedoms that should be accorded to not only individuals, but self-decided-upon groups such as families, fine friends and chosen associates – during the last month. Both Milton Friedman (Turkey for Thanksgiving – USA) and Lord Harris (Turkey for Christmas – UK) championed one of the most important bases for freedom, economics. The basis upon which most long-lasting realities and realistic progress must start from or embrace. Many thanks to both of them for their enormous and lasting contributions to the world and the hundreds of millions of lives improved, directly or indirectly, by their works.

We hope that those who travel or stay home this thanksgiving will think of all those sitting down to a meal or standing to offer a toast on this special day, in other lands than the one the world – willingly or unwillingly – relied upon quite heavily to light and bear the torch for a vital aspect of life upon this plant. Freedom to choose.

Be honest and seek the truth in all things, live, learn and prosper – Happy thanksgiving.

As the population of the USA is estimated to reach three hundred million today – Tuesday, October 17, 2006 – we say well done…from a small country, Greece, with a population a little more than that of New Jersey and less than the population of Florida.

Keep on keepin’ on!

Sunny days and hours of sunshine in each day seem now to be outnumbering the opposite type (those unnecessary winter days of gloom, rain and shabby shade that were an absurd invention to begin with ! ).

A national strike on the 15th day of March did not help us – we don’t strike, we work, we proceed, we move forward we create, we conquer (you know who does strike, you know the ones who stop work – did they ever start….don’t you ? ).

We receive handfuls of enquiries every day from those who wish to know when a ferry, a catamaran, perhaps out of desperation even a piece of floating wood might sail from Crete to Santorini and vice versa in April, next month (a few days away). These have not yet been published but we expect them any day and will try to rush them out on our Crete website.
But why oh why should we go through this every year ?
Instruction to the Minister in Greece responsible for shipping, my dear Manolis Kefaloiannis: Manoli – change the system – you are in power now, have you noticed ( ? ) – and make it so that shipping companies are assigned confirmed routes a year in advance if necessary, providing they publish schedules at least six months or more in advance. Now I’m waiting and expect action – get on with it!

(We cannot expect all these wonderful visitors coming to Greece to keep waiting year after year for a supposedly European country to get its act together – you listening Manoli ? )

Hey its March! Am I not permitted a Spring rant…. ! ?
