Just a couple days left before we leave, and the rainy Alaskan fall weather is making us feel even better about being on our way to the Mediterranean. One of my tasks right now is to set up this blog so folks can see our pictures and read about our doings. This here is a test. If you're reading it, chances are good you'll be able to read the stuff we'll post after we actually get to Athens. First stop Seattle, however, so maybe there will be a post from there.
