Sunday

Here is a picture showing a layout of the hotels that I went to. Mine was the one in the middle.

Early morning today, I was told that I needed to be at the airport 2 hours before my flight by a guy at one of the dinners. So I figured that I would leave between 4 and 4:30 to get to the airport. I woke up at 3:30, got ready and packed a last few things and headed out about 4:30. The guy at the front desk thought I was crazy to be up so early, but got me checked out and ordered me a taxi anyway. Different driver, but another fast one, I think we were at the airport by 4:45-and it was closed. I told him it was ok I would wait for it to open. It opened up at 5:15, but nothing was operational until about 6:20. The airport is small (2 gates) so there were no problems really and I got thought it all ok.

I got to Athens on time, its only about an hour flight, and didn’t do much in the airport there except recheck my luggage and grab a bite to eat. Right now I am on the plane from Athens to Atlanta, the flight time is just over 11 hours and there are about 5.5 hours of it left. I think I have to do a bunch of stuff in Atlanta with customs, but I guess I will find out later.

Here is an overall picture of the downtown area. It would be placed to the right of the first picture and slightly overlapping. If you look at the left side of this picture closely, you can tell where the Egnatia Grand Hotel is. On my monitor it is about 2" from the left edge of the picture when you blow it up to full size (by clicking the picture).

That was the end for my Greece trip blog, I hope that you all enjoyed it. I will make one small post once I finally get more of the pictures uploaded to my photobucket account.
