Kelsey booked tickets to Paris and Athens this morning. Her dad is treating us to a honeymoon in Greece, with three days in Paris. We leave June 20th and return July 3rd. I’m excited, grateful, unbelieving.

Of course I want to sail, but it’s probably too much stress for Kelsey on her honeymoon. She’d never sleep easy on an anchor in unknown waters, at least not yet. I like the idea of privacy and freedom to explore and avoid crowds, and it would actually probably cost less, but comfort and security win out.

Maybe we can do one or two nights. I hope she’ll at least let me hang out at marinas and maybe do a little shopping around for next time.
