We started in Maine

Newagen Seaside Inn is in the Boothbay region of mid-coast Maine. My dear friends, Corinne and Scott Larson own this and other Inns in Boothbay. It is elegant and cozy New England at its best. We stayed here for the weekend of my cousin Phil's wedding. Devin and I had the chance to sit in these chairs and watch the red sun set over the sea. Ahhhh.

Traveling is not always easy

Oh I am sorry to say we are not on our way to Athens as we had expected....we are at a hotel in NYC. So Delta screwed us up. We flew from Boston to NYC and we supposed to have a 2 hour layover before flying on Olympic airline to Athens. But no...Delta was late to leave then we were re-routed so our 40 minute flight became a 1.25 minute flight. We got to Kennedy at about 4 and our flight left at 4:30. We RAN all three of us....and even though the palbe was still there they would not let us on....you have to be there an hour before or no go. We tried to get Delta to help....they felt nothing for us...no hotel nothing. Anyway we are on standby for tomorrow's flight even though they say it is full. We got a hotel near the airport so we could sleep until tomorrow and try again. Not a good way to start, but we hope we are on our way tomorrow and then the ease of vacation can begin!
A huge thank you to Jen for getting us to the airport today and taking such good care of us last night as we did laundry and re-packed.....we will get there!!!!
Wish us good travel vibes tomorrow.

Technical difficulties

Oh my- sorry we have not posted in awhile. We left for Maine on the 7th...and our laptop was working fine. The next day...not so much. So we have had a wonderful week in Maine and fly to Greece tomorrow. We now have a new laptop which hopefully will be our friend all the way along! Devin just downloaded pictures from Maine so stay tuned...we will posted again from Athens! Sending love- the Bailly family!

Nevi's last day at SunGarden for the summer

Because we leave tonight...this was Nevi's last day at school. Her class celebrated her birthday even though it is two months away. Every birthday celebration, Ann, Nevi's beloved teacher makes a flower crown. Nevi was so proud and danced all around the house. Today was Nevi's last day with Ann as she is not going to be teaching next year. We love you, Ann!

Day Before Take Off

Oh My...tomorrow is the day we have been waiting for...at 11pm PST we will take off for our Bailly family adventure. First stop NYC Kennedy airport then onto Portland Maine!Well, that is if I get finished with the finer details of lawn mowing, Nevi's last day of school for the year, two clients, the rest of the bags packed, food out of the fridge, and a pedicure! And we will be relieved when Devin submits his two newly designed parts and can walk away from Xerox feeling accomplished and FREE! He is still at work and it is 9pm...tonight will be a late one for him. Nevi is finally tucked in and asleep as her excitment for tomrorw and the cupcake she ate for her cousin, Xander's first birthday today was keeping her awake. By Friday mid day we will be smelling the salt air at the Newagen Seaside Inn near Boothbay Harbor, Maine. My friend, Corrine from my Outward Bound days owns this Inn and it is perfect New England. So that will be our next post most likely...until then...stay tuned...here we go!!!!!!!

Flower Girl Dress

Getting ready for the wedding in Greece. This is Nevi trying on the flower girl dress she will be wearing at Erene and Chris's beautiful wedding on Santorini Island.

Precious child, who keeps asking are we going to Greece today?

Nevi's tap & Jazz Recital

Nevi is the darlingto the far right. The best part was in the middle of her second dance she caught sight of either Me or her Auntie Krista and began to wave whole-heartedly! The beauty of the entire recital was seeing children of all ages feel proud and accomplished in themselves.
