The Perfect Greece Vacation

We just got back from a dream belated honeymoon in Greece.  Our trip was planned in under 4 weeks and because of the short planning period, we chose to keep our trip to 3 of the most commonly traveled places in Greece, Athens, Mykonos, and Santorini.  However, we already have dreams of returning to see more of the many beautiful islands Greece has to offer (specifically Crete and Milos!).  We’d recommend our itinerary for anyone traveling to Greece for the first time and sharing it in this blog!

Add These 20 Spots to Your US Bucket List

We just made it back to Boston after 4.5 months of traveling in our Mercedes Sprinter self-converted camper van named Florence (Flo, for short!).  We loved “going with the Flo 😉” on a clockwise loop around the United States, visiting 26 states and making endless memories.  Every state, city, national park, and person we met plays a role in this exciting chapter of our lives, but I wanted to sum up 20 of our favorite spots (actually there are way more than 20 sprinkled into this list!)  that made the trip so special.  Definitely add one or all to your travel bucket list!
