VVJM265,
Be careful what you wish for!!!! Its nowhere near as good as it appears (but thats another thread).

LOL! Can't be any worse than the Navy. Could always be worse and be haze gray & under way, but looks like you probably did that...

Yeah, the Crete gouge was great. Unfortunately the island is kinda hurting economically so it was very quiet (boring). We did the Boutari tour and bought a case of wine visited Knossos and drove over to Chania to pass the time. Not bad but could've been better.

Glad the gouge helped. Had a bottle of Boutari wine not long ago and was reminded that I had passed that gouge along. July & Aug, the place is packed, like most of the Med. Better luck next time.

Now Nice, well that was a good trip. Stayed in Monaco and had a great time. Lots to do with all the beaches, old villages, and the city of Monaco right there. Good but expensive food.

Love Provence and that whole area, but they can keep Cannes, way over rated IMHO.

Many more good trips to you.

Flew in/out of Olbia, Sardegnia in June. Beautiful city and expensive. Handler/FBO is Ecclesa Aviation..top notch facility, handling and catering is excellent. they have their own customs and security so its easy in and out with crew and pax. We stayed at the Sheraton Ponte Corvo Resort, about 25 min from airport,..beautiful resort, pool, free boat shuttle to private beach, located next to marina with some big money yachts. Small town has a few cafe's and restaurants, and the hotel has 3 restaurants attached to it...one called Pomodoro, excellent food and reasonable price. I think we paid around 200Euro a nite. cheapest room they had but very clean and very nice.

I wouldn't want to go there if you are on per diem. Make sure you try the "mirto" liqour when your there...island specialty
