We wake early for our Sea Jet ride to Santorini. The port is only a few blocks away, but we decide to use a taxi, the driver will know where to take us.  The line of people is long, and we get directed to another, shorter line, then are directed on to the ship.  We scramble with the other passengers finding a spot for our luggage.  We find the cabin quite spacious, with comfortable chairs.  We sit close to the ticket desk watching all the activity.  These somewhat smaller boats did not sail the past two days due to the high winds and turbulent water so lots of people are boarding.  Keep in mind ‘smaller ship’ is a relative term, it still has room for a few dozen vehicles.  The boat serves food, so we pick up a couple spinach pies for breakfast.  The ride is quite smooth given the water conditions the past two days.  We arrive in Santorini in two hours.

Mykonos has been Sue’s ‘home’ since she first set foot there in the early 70’s.  The first time she went was with a group of girls, including her sister Sally.  They were backpacking through Europe; Greece ended up being their final country, the island of Mykonos in particular.
