Q: Where have 당신 been lately that 당신 liked 또는 were surprised by?
A: We went to St. Louis to visit family that had just moved from Los Angeles. The last time I was there I was 10 years old. Of course I remember the St. Louis Arch, but that's about it. I never expected it to be as cosmopolitan as it was. The kids loved the amusement park/playground called The City Museum. It was certainly a highlight for big kids and little kids alike. We were also surprised 의해 the wonderful restaurants. A special one that comes to mind for breakfast in downtown St. Louis is called Rooster. Definitely sample the 초콜릿 chip crêpe and I suggest 당신 feed it to your kids in the morning before 당신 go to the City Museum. This way they can work off all the 초콜릿 before 당신 go home. I would also recommend 공식 만찬, 저녁 식사 at family-owned Amigos Cantina in Kirkwood, Mo. Ask for my nephew Michael to serve you.
Q: What's the best place you've ever visited and why?
A: Monemvasia, Greece. It's in the Peloponnese. It is one of the most romantic, beautiful places in Greece and it's where the Greeks go for their honeymoon. I've traveled to Greece so many times and it wasn't until a few years 이전 that I discovered it. It's a mountain that had been separated from the mainland during an earthquake in 375AD. It is now an island without cars. 당신 are either on foot 또는 donkey. The exterior of the buildings are 500AD, but the inside is 2009. 당신 dive off the rocks into the ocean to swim. 당신 are surrounded 의해 amazing 360-degree views of the water. It has five restaurants, all great. It is the ultimate secluded honeymoon getaway.
Q: What's the most surprising/unexpected place you've ever visited and why?
A: The point at which Victoria Falls meets Zimbabwe. Having never white-water rafted before, somehow I allowed myself, during a trip to Africa, to be convinced 의해 프렌즈 to attempt the Grade 5 rapids on the border of Zimbabwe and Victoria Falls where neither country would be responsible for your death. Fortunately, I survived to tell the story. Although it was beautiful, between the rapids and the crocodiles, my splash into the waters was terrifying at best.
Q: What's your 가장 좋아하는 vacation spot and why?
A: Greece. Aside from the obvious benefits of our children continuing to learn about our culture and being allowed the opportunity to practice the Greek language, the country has so much to offer in the form of tourism. We frequent both northern and southern Greece traveling there every summer. I would say one of my 가장 좋아하는 locations is Halkidiki, which is a three-fingered peninsula two hours away from Thessaloniki. The water is crystal clear with the most amazing shade of blue.
Q: Can 당신 offer an insider tip 또는 recommendation for your 가장 좋아하는 vacation place?
A: Sani Asterias Suites is the place I recommend to stay on Halkidiki. A room on the ocean is best and the restaurants are phenomenal.
