I remember going to Greece when I was young with my parents. One year we
drove all over hitting all the archeological sights you can get to on the
mainland, another time we hopped on a boat and spent 2 months hitting
different islands for a week or so each. These days even if you have the
money getting 2 months off of work at a time is very hard. Those were the
best vacations I ever had, nobody was in a hurry and the money was plentiful
so you just did whatever you wanted and ate anywhere you pleased. There is
nothing as refreshing as taking a few months off to explore far away from
home.
While we did travel in the US for vacations it was always a direct drive to
the location and then some exploring while you were there, nothing like the
exploring we did in Greece (both my parents were born there and knew their
way around).
