A weekend trip to a five star hotel on one of the Greek islands = bliss. Real result due to being on Duty and rainy day = no sightseeing, sore throat, cold, body aches and sniffles at a five star hotel. Priceless When i first heard early in the summer during our PDP that we would be going to one of the Greek islands for a weekend, i was pumped. I was soo excited that it was one of the biggest things i was looking forward to. Then we began our journey early Friday morning of the 24th. We were supposed to leave by 8am but come 8:30 there were still students missing or students who woke up late. –_- i was not happy about that. Then we started. It was going to be a long trip. It was a 4 hour bus ride after which we would take a ferry for an hour and then drive 20 minutes to the hotel.
The first hour wasn’t bad. Some of us started talking about our favorite tv shows. Which lead to a discussion about grey’s anatomy, private practice and glee. Then we got to a rest stop and it was nice to get out of the bus. Although in stepping off the bus we realized how cold it was outside. The weather made me apprehensive about when we would get to Corfu and if it would still be the same.We got back on the bus and one of the students next to me started watching glee and i watched with her. I was immediately hooked and i found someone from which i could borrow the first season from . YAY!!!
The view driving along the roads was absolutely beautiful. I kept whipping out my camera to take pictures
We finally got to the ferry and outside the bus the weather was fabulous. The water was blue, the sky was blue with puffy white clouds. You could see the mountains and it all looked picture perfect. I looked around and everyone was bringing out their cameras to take pictures
The ferry was the scariest part of the trip for me. My fear of heights and the reality of being on a boat where i could see the water and knowing that i couldn’t swim was a lot for me. Climbing up the stairs in the boat i could see the water through the railings on the side and i was freaking out. But once we got on and moved into a room where i could only see the water from the window i was fine. lol After a while, when we were getting closer to the port, i even ventured outside and took pictures by the railings. I was so proud of myself.

We got to the hotel, Corfu Palace and i loved my room. It was clean and nice looking and I guess i would give it 5 stars in Greek standards.
Then i immediately put on my bathing suit and went on the private beach where i just laid in the sun.
