Making my Arrangements



Not quite 2 Weeks now until I fly out from Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport. With the Thai Military back firmly in control (yet again)  I should avoid the Street protests which took place earlier in the Year. I will be going to Symi to visit Friends who have lived there for 8 years and love it!!
Symi was the Island where rich Athenians built replicas of Classical Villas.These impressive Homes with their Doric or is it Ionian Pillars seem to march down the steep Hillside toward the Sea!!

I will also return to Naxos where I spent a couple of carefree Weeks some 20 Years ago. I love the way One descends narrow twisting Alleys and Steps  past Greek Families preparing dinner. So narrow are the alleys and so snug the tiny Stone Courtyards their entrance ways heavy with Bougainvillea that One has the impression of trespassing, but nobody seems to mind strangers wandering into their lives. One eventually comes to the Seafront where after a leisurely Promenade One can decide at which of the several Restaurants Dinner is to be taken.

As I wait for the Day I will head to Bangkok time seems to go quite slowly although to paraphrase Einstein on Relativity " When you sit on a hot stove for a minute it seems like an hour and when you are talking to a Pretty Girl for an Hour it seems like a Minute that's Relativity!!" I know that my Oddysy will fly by very quickly but I will hopefully have garnered a store of pleasant Memories.
