Alex and I booked an Athens and Greek island cruise for the summer, right after school ended. I can’t remember the company name, though. We added a 3-night extension to Istanbul. We traveled with a good friend of hers, Shane, and his mom, Dee. We had an early flight from Chicago to New York so spent the night of June 4th close to O’Hare. We left June 5th at 0900 for New York. Our flights were odd, I don’t think…
