A Really Great Weekend

Last weekend, my friends and I enjoyed a trip to the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. Every year, we make the short journey to attend a football game at one of the most famous collegiate stadiums, the Big House.

The Argosaronic Islands Are Calling

The Saronic or Argo Saronic Islands of Greece call travelers to explore its seven small islands and islets brimming with history, natural sites and more. With most easily accessible by boat, the islands’ proximity to ports of Athens make the Saronic Islands an ideal destination for those preferring shorter boat rides. In fact, trips from Athens ports to the islands take only between 10 minutes and two hours, depending on the island you choose, making them perfect for day or weekend trips. From Piraeus port, you can access Hydra, Spetses, Aegina and Poros directly. Come explore these stunning islands with us and find the inspiration to plan your next trip to these islands. Hydra Hydra town curves around a slope overlooking the Argosaronic Gulf like an amphitheater and is considered one of the most romantic destinations in Greece. Most unique to the island is its lack of vehicles. People on the island get around on mules and donkeys as well as water taxis, making for a peaceful and laid-back day. Hydra lies a two-hour ferry ride from Piraeus port in Athens.

A Prickly Situation at the Prickly Pear

A few weeks ago, I headed up to Ann Arbor, Mich., for a little work and a little fun. The fun included a football game between the University of Michigan and Purdue University. Unfortunately, the fun did not include a win for the Big Blue, although we did have pretty good end zone seats. The Michigan faithful came out 100,000-plus strong to support the "maize and blue." It is really an unbelievable sight. Even during this so-so season, the fans are as rabid as always.
