My husband and I had our honeymoon there and it was just unforgettable. The Greeks are such friendly people. I would love to go back. On the topic of running away, well, as a teenager yes indeed I thought of running away, and now not anymore. I actually run back home everyday after work to see my beloved 14 month old. Thanks for sharing. Eco-mama http://ecopolitan-living.blogspot.com I love the pic you posted for this topic - Santorini. My husband and I had our honeymoon there and it was just unforgettable.

My father sent me to Japan as an exchange student when I was 17 and I have loved travel ever since. Travel simply fuels my soul, expands my spirit and allows me to experience different parts of myself that I knew existed. Thanks so much Suzie, Megan and Diane for your very passionate responses.

I couldn't run fast enough, from my email notice of your blog, to here where I could reply in a loud, emphatic, passionate "Yes, yes, yes!" Because inside this blonde with a swiss background settled in Boise, Idaho, lives a red-blooded gypsy like Megan! And it's not to say I haven't had wonderful opportunities for I have lived in several states and overseas in London and Melbourne. My oldest daughter lived in the south of France for a year and I stayed with her for several magical weeks. But it just fuels my desire to go, go, go. The funny thing is I would go to you - back to Melbourne - to those Aussies I miss terribly. And then back to France and oh, yes, I do want to try Bali and Santorini and the Seychelles! But I sit here, dreaming and scheming. That is one of many traits I tell people I love about the Australians - they understand the importance and the wisdom in seeing all of the wide world and the gifts it has to offer us. So tell me, how do I do it? How do I manifest the travel experiences I so desperately want in my life? My hat is off to all of you! Oh My Gosh Carole!

When I have run away, I always discovered that where I ran to was my home. I have the proverbial Gypsy blood and I could easily have lived my life going from country to country. But, responsibility, familial expectations and stability called.....is it any wonder I am twice divorced: staying put was the hardest thing I ever did! I am now home. I am in love, I am happy, I love my job and I am surrounded by that which feeds my soul. I have remarried and given myself for life and service. I miss travel but I have chosen to buy here and stay home. I have found home in me. Like you and Suzi, I LOVE Bali but I cannot tolerate what the Indonesians do to some people (my son in law is Timorese). Even though I made a conscious decision to not return to Bali, I miss it, and her people, so very much. The Seychelles is next in sight for me....if I can tear myself away from loving being at home :) Go Carole - we will keep up with your life via your blog. Hey Carole

Both very spiritual and I now realise my attachment to each, although i may not have been aware of that when I first went there back in the 70's. Are you going to have house guests?.I know when we moved here that was running away from home. So is it Santorini here Carole comes? keep listening to that intuition and asking the angels. namaste Suzie I just love it and Santorini, after Bali my post favorite place in the world.
