My partner has always talked about going to Greece. As long as I have known her, about eight years, she has said how much she would love to go to the Greek isles. See, the pull for her is not the culture or the history. It’s not even about the art or architecture. No her reason of desire is the food. The only other thing about her that has not changed over all these years is her love of food. She loves every aspect of food from talking about it , creating it, and consuming it. I have always told her that she should consider going to some kind of culinary school but she thinks that would diminish he deep l’ve by turning it in to work. Her favorite foods are not the typical American foods, or even the blends of culture that are quite popular in the cities like New York and Philadelphia. Her favorite foods to obsess over are the very strict ethnic foods. She can tell you how authentic a particular Indian dish is to the region it comes from. Her palate is so sensitive that I have given up trying to be the cook around the house because she never eats anything I make for her. I decided this year to try and give her the experience she always wanted by taking her to Greece. My biggest motivator was actually not that she had talked about it so long, but that I found a bunch of great hotel deals in Greece. I was looking online one day and just for fun I started to compare hotel rates in different places. After looking for a while I noticed a section on the web site about Greece and started to compare hotel prices. After about two hours of looking I realized that I could totally afford to take her and I on a trip for about a week in their off season. Quickly before my usual financial worry took over and the idea would be lost forever, I made a quick hotel reservation and sat back. This is where my planning had begun and now I have begun planning all of the rest of the trip.
