Hey, NoraG! I talked to ABD today, and they told me that there are 19 people on our trip, and our Guides will be Landon (he was one of the Guides on my London/Paris ABD - Great Guide!) and a local gal named Stavrola (I may have the spelling wrong.)
Boxes should be going out in the next couple of days!
Whoohoo! Just a little under 5 weeks to go!
Sayhello
It's the perfect size.That's a really small group!!
I'll pm you, sayhello before you go, to take note of certain things I'm curious of.

The box always makes it seem more real. I have 3 backpacks. (The first year they gave us this massive, heavy messenger bag, that I would never carry on a trip!) But they told me, also, since they re-designed the backpacks, there's no choosing what you want. That's OK. I'll never have to buy a backpack again.That sounds great. I like that it will be small size. I can't wait until we get the boxes! When we first signed up I asked if there was an alternative to the backpack since we have ours from last year, but they said they've been redesigned so there's no option to trade it out yet. I'm excited to see what it looks like. I can't believe we only have about a month to go!!! I should start packing-and I'm only half kidding
I do love Landon! The other guide was definitely not Elena. The poor ABD guy was having the worst time pronouncing her name, I hated to ask him to spell it. I'll let you know when I find out for sureLucky you! I just told my son that Landon was back in Greece this summer and he was ready to cancel Ireland and head back to Greece. He loved Landon! Our other guide was Elena--could that have been her name? She was also AWESOME!
I am glad Landon can be your Kayaking partner. Hooray!

I'm trying to not think too much about packing just yet, because it's really intimidating!

Will do! They're supposed to be very nice.Will you send me a pic when you get your backpack? I asked the same question hoping to not get another backpack for the NYC trip.
One month until I leave for Greece!
Sayhello
Thanks for reminding me!!! I'll go buy it right now!Very exciting! Did you read The Island yet? It will really enhance your visit to Spinalonga!
So I'm pretty sure the answer to this is "No", but I thought I'd ask anyways. Does travel to Greece require any sort of shots?
Thanks!
Sayhello
Good to hear! Thanks, tufbuf!Good answer, Bobo! Or a shot of raki!
We did not get any vaccines and there will be LOTS of salad served with uber-delicious feta cheese! As far as I know, no one in our group got sick.
