Best Books of the Year

As usual, I read a lot of books this year (especially while flying) and I am going to share some of the best ones published in late 2010 or 2011.

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.

Stay Tuned

Growing up in Chicago, I, among many others, got my daily sports news from Tim Weigel on our local ABC affiliate. A former football player at Yale, Weigel had a great passion for sports, but he also had fun with it. When he gave a speech at my old high school, I desperately tried to meet him but was unsuccessful. Sadly, in June 2001, Weigel died of a brain tumor.
