A Place to Stay

This post has been superseded by a newer one further up... so I will just leave the pics in for your viewing pleasure.

RSVP Live

Vic had a great ideal: help us keep tabs on who’s arriving (or sadly not) by leaving a comment, and get a bit of social heat warming up this site. So easy: click on “ramblings” just below this post and leave a message for us. Even you technoproles can do this, right?

Virtual flight to Samos

Try this for technofantastic - a virtual, three-dimensional flight to Vathy in Samos!



First, you need to have Google Earth installed on your computer- it needs a fast connection, but if you haven't tried it yet, it's absolutely thrilling.

Then, go to this pic of Vathy on flickr.com (the one shown above) and click on the link that says "fly to this location" - and hold on for the ride!

All thanks to Rob Roy at roblog.com for this amazing toy.

Newsflash : Aegean Flies to Samos

We just confirmed that Aegean Airlines will be starting flights to Samos from May onwards, plenty nice for our July 1st date. As with all their tickets, the earlier the better. Look what I got today:


As you can see (well.. maybe if you enlarge..) they are giving away tickets from E19 each way, which is a huge dollop less than Olympic Airlines' E180 return. We suggest you book online pronto, and let others know too!

No.13

Today is our thirteenth anniversary. Appears tremendous to say, yet feels absolutely light and undemanding. What do they say- the copper one? That makes me think: warm, earthen, supple – I like that image.

Being a laudable annual, not a perishable monthly, it calls for something incommensurate, in our true style: the perfect day in!
