 For our final trip of the summer, we spent 5 days in the Ionian Islands of Greece. We visited the Greek Isles last September as well because the mobs of tourist recede, the waters are still warm and the sun shines everyday. This year, we chose the island of Paxos, known for its vivid seas, rustic landscapes and more secluded beaches than many of the more well-known islands in the area.
 To celebrate our 14-year anniversary, we decided to explore the Greece archipelago. Out of the thousands of islands, we choice Santorini, Milos and Crete. We began our trip in London. On the way there, our 6am plane was diverted mid-flight due to protests on the runway in London and re-routed to a rural airport in southeast England. Dave chose not to notify the sleeping Erin until we landed. The highlight of this portion of the trip was Erin's invitation to attend a formal business lunch at the Ivy, where she spotted a few celebrities. After a few days participating in the hectic London workday commute, the crowds, noise pollution and lack of nature gave us a hankering for the sea. We woke before dawn and lugged our bags through the empty streets to the airport.
