I’ve been counting down to this trip for seriously so long now – S actually surprised me by booking the hotel as an anniversary present for me way back last September. We definitely needed cheering up at the time and I’ve been picturing these white walls, blue domes and caldera views for a solid 8 months now.
Yes! This weekend I’m off to Santorini and I am beyond excited about it. We’ll be there Saturday to Tuesday and I have a feeling it’s going to be jam packed with exploring, delicious food, and oh so many steps. I’m a bit worried for my calves already… Wish me luck.
I’m all packed* and ready – note, I ended up packing waaaay more than I planned to in that post. Whilst I’m getting much better at not overpacking, I figure if there’s one time I can go overboard, it’s my birthday.
Which brings me to the main event. On Monday, I’m turning 30. You know, I’m actually not terrified about it at all. I’m excited for all that 30 is going to bring, and I feel like I’m finally getting to know myself and feel happier about where I am. Well, it’s taken long enough!
If you’ve ever wanted to take a trip to Santorini and can’t, then feel free to follow along with me on Instagram and Snapchat (my code is just there to the right, or you can add me by username – predictably, it’s anestingnomad). And maybe Twitter, although honestly I think that’s unlikely. I am just finding Twitter a major Effort – anyone else?
The usual disclaimers about spotty Wifi apply, but I our AirBnB has wifi so at worst you can expect a barrage of photos at the end of the day!
See you there,
