Looking Back at 2022
With 2023 around the corner, I have been reflecting on my 2022. There were ups and downs, but I prefer to focus on the ups. The year brought plenty of fun times with family and friends, my return to international travel and successful events with the FXExpress Publications, Inc., team.

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.
Dining in Charleston
My husband and I spent Memorial Day weekend visiting our friend in Charleston, South Carolina. There are many great restaurants in and around Charleston, so we took advantage during our stay.
Looking Back on 2021
As 2021 comes to a close, I like to reflect on the past year and look to the year ahead. Much like 2020, 2021 was another unpredictable year. There were highs and lows and then some more lows, though I prefer to focus on the positive. I snuck in a few vacations and flew for the first time since 2019 to attend Global Traveler’s GT Tested Reader Survey awards in Los Angeles.

Road Trip to Charleston
For Memorial Day Weekend, my husband and I visited Charleston, South Carolina. We picked up friends who live in Virginia on the drive down and stayed with our friend who lives in North Charleston. This was the longest time I’ve spent away from home since the pandemic began, and the vacation was much-needed!
