Christmas in August

I finally started my Christmas cards today. I made three, but this is the only finished one. I fashioned this off of a CAS challenge. Everything here is Stampin Up except the red card stock. Baja Breeze, chocolate chip, always artichoke, scalloped edge punch, chit chat rub ons, and retired holiday paper.

United Polaris Class Travel Day to Athens During COVID-19

Image
  We woke up at 4:30am on October 4, 2021, and spent a few minutes snuggling with our schnauzer, Sam, before we had to head out for the 1.5 hour drive to Denver.   We pulled into the park dia lot at 6am and a shuttle promptly pulled in behind us. talk about timing! It was a full shuttle ride with a family heading to Disneyland and a southwest pilot. This was probably the best shuttle ride we’ve ever had! The pilot pulled out his iPad and showed the family the route they would go to get to Cali and how the plane would be guided in on the runway. It was actually really neat to watch. We all gave him a huge thank you for starting our day that way. Once dropped at the airport we headed straight to the United desk.

Someone came over to immediately, checked all of my paperwork, and we were all set! We headed to secur...

 Just as I did last year I pre-booked our Santorini water taxi online for 15 euros each. We used the Aegean Traveller again. While I do recommend them it seemed like this year they were much more chaotic than last and they had trouble finding my proof of payment because I had paid via paypal. The first taxi was at 8:30. As you’ll find out later we didn’t end up using the bus service (included in our ticket price) from Oia to Thira. We took the first tender from the ship and had about an hour to kill before it got there. While we were waiting we met 2 couples who we ended up chatting with the whole time. Never did see them again after we got off the bus in Oia.  the beautiful view from the water taxi: The water taxi pulled into Ammoudi Bay and we made the small hill climb to the bus to take us up to Oia. Again we got on first (like last year) and got seats at the front. I had a few missions in mind 1) go back to the shop I had made all of our purchases at last year...
