Athens, Greece!

I did not take this photo

So recently, (Ok literally 2 days) I have returned from a 6 day trip to Greece. But, before I go anywhere with this, let me explain the beginning. This trip was planned the night before our flight. Now just let that sink in, THE NIGHT BEFORE OUR FLIGHT. My family is one of those families that will literally plan things out an hour before, or decide to go on a three day weekend trip as we are eating breakfasts. Now for some, this may seem like stress beyond stress and they could never be able to plan something short noticed. Well, lucky you because....... I have a little secret. I'm usually the one helping plan trips (a.) because i'm super into history and can literally create an itenerary that everyone will enjoy and (b.) because I love traveling. Anyways, I personally like to use Expedia and Trip Advisor. Expedia is like a staple to all travel, the holy grail to not having a stressful trip. Now, the reason why Expedia is so desired from me is...... Drum roll please...... You can literally plan out your hotel, plane tickets, and anything else you need and it will give you the round trip price. However, I do have a helpful hint for you. When using expedia and you are searching different hotels use two computers. When you repeadily go to a hotel that you are interested in, you might notice the price going up. Well this is because the cookies on your computer are alerting that you keep looking at a certain page, thus giving them a chance to raise the price. IF you are using two computers use one to search, and the other to finalize and buy whatever you are interested in.  You also have a better chance of finding better deals. And i'm sure you have either used or have heard of Expedia before, but I can not stress how helpful this is. Especially if you are planning last minute, like me. Another holy grail for traveling that we use is Trip Advisor. Throughout the trip we mainly used Trip Advisor to find good restraurants ( and trust me.... they were good).  Enough about planning, let's get to how we got there........
