Irene confirms there is free wifi in the lobby of the first hotel in Athens. She confirms there is an internet cafe on the cruise ship at an small expense. I will be able to keep the blog fully updated so let your family/friends know they will get updates from me at least every 48 hours and specifically, confirmation when we have arrived at the hotel on the first night.
Good News: there is AC at no charge in the first hotel. Bad News: it will not cool your room the way you keep your homes here. You will likely get it to a balmy 80 degrees, a little lower if you are lucky. On the cruise ship, she tells me that it stays chilly for her, so likely very comfortable for us. Last night in Athens at the second hotel there, also has AC at no charge. Yay!
Dangling bits of info from Lisa:
Your US cell phone: Once we board the plane in the US on the 12th, turn it off and pack it away so you aren't charged for any data, roaming, etc. This can be a costly mistake.
American $$: You only need about $20 of this for at the airport before we leave and if you need a water/soda, etc. when we return.
