Packing Light for Greece

Carry - on which meets European standards for Aegean flight from Athens to Crete. 
OK ladies... we are no longer size zero from Le Chateaux now are we? Nor are we the type to wear all beige as yet- and we have a few more good years before we go grey and wear pastels. So when on vacay we bring out the clothes that make us look stylish - and we cannot possibly do so in anything less than a large suitcase - right? Wrong! I have given myself the challenge of going to the Greek Islands for 16 days with no more than a carryon and a personal item. Oh yes! I will do his and still have the great wardrobe needed for a European holiday- just take a looksy
All my clothes laid out on King Size Bed including accessories
Used Rolling Method of packing clothes. Packable hat from John Lewis. 
Included a laundry line and small inflatable pool from the dollar store and mini tide packs from the travel minis section at Shoppers Drug mart so I can do some hand washing of undergarments and quick dry clothes.

      It was a very success strategy! I used everything I packed and because it was sooooo hot in Greece, when I did hand wash, the items dried almost instantly on the laundry line! The packable hat was a must! We moved around a lot: Athens, Crete, Paros. So having just a carry on per person made all of the difference.

Book Recommendation

hey Niagara Falls, once the honeymoon capital of the world, is still a draw for millions of tourists. I love it that we soooooo outshine the US falls. The US falls serves simply as a look out to the MAJESTIC WATER FEATURE ON THE CANADIAN SIDE - yes, I shout it out - just like I brag that we burned down the Whitehouse once - it's true! Look it up! I just read a good book called The S aturday Night Ghost Club by Craig Davidson. It takes place in Niagara Falls, Canada. Yup - it includes Clifton Hill and everything! It is a bildungsroman  of a boy experiencing his 12th summer in - you guessed it - Niagara Falls! His uncle owns an "Occultorium"  (a store that sells all things paranormal) on Clifton Hill and there is laughter, love, danger and, of course, ghosts. It is short - just over 200 pages - and the reading level isn't too elevated so I think everyone from teens to octogenarians will enjoy this one. I can't seem to shake these characters. A
