First the Fires, Now This

This week, first we found out there are massive fires burning Greece. Last night, we learned Xavier fell on Sunday while hanging his new imported blinds and badly hurt his knee. So he's not joining us on Friday. As a result, Chris and I will once again be alone on holiday.

Don't get me wrong. It's not that Chris and I don't want to spend time together. It's just that we're alone ALL THE TIME. So having friends along for this type of vacation (where you hang by the pool, go out for drinks, dinner, etc.) makes it much more enjoyable for both of us.

There is one consolation: our friends Eric and Filippo from Munich will also be in Mykonos, but because their staying with mutual friends in a house, they'll most likely have their own agenda. We'll all make the effort, but it can be challenging sometimes with so many people involved.

Sure, there could be worse things than being alone in Mykonos. After all, we've got the ocean. We've got the sun. We've got a nice hotel (we hope). Besides that, maybe we'll meet another couple with a similar agenda - ones who be our new BFF (at least for the week).
