*Update:
Γειάσου από την Αθήνα! (Hello from Athens!)
Well, as many of you know my trip to Europe was supposed to be Toronto, Milan, Rome, Cyprus, Milan, Toronto. I was ticketed today from Rome to Cyprus on Cyprus Air, but I had a very weird experience at the airport. I show up, and the flight didn’t exist! I looked for the checkin desk and there was no one there. At first I thought I was too early, but 2 hours prior to the flight, I started to get worried so I went to the Alitalia ticketing desk in Rome. They finally spilled the beans.
They ticketed me on a flight that DIDN’T exist!!! Talk about incompetent!
After figuring options, they rerouted me on Alitalia to Athens and then Athens to Larnaca on Aegean Airlines. Needless to say I am not a happy camper. I will arrive too late to spend any time at the beach, so I guess I’ll just pitch back a Keo or two and go to sleep. I am looking forward to Milano tomorrow. Hopefully I’ll be able to get the Involuntary Denied Boarding Compensation as mandated by the EU.
*sigh*
Well, back to enjoying Athens International Airport and the Aegean Airlines lounge.
I got this in an email and it made me laugh. One of the few I suppose.

Very important information.
It has been scientifically proven that if we drink one liter of water
each day, at the end of the year we would have absorbed more than one
kilo of e-coli bacteria found in feces, in other words, water-drinkers
are consuming one kilo of poop each year.
However, we do not run that risk when drinking wine, rum, whiskey,
vodka, beer or other liquors because alcohol has to go through a
distillation process of boiling, filtering and fermenting.
It is better to drink wine and talk shit than to drink water and be
full of shit.
There is no need to thank me for this valuable information, I am doing
it as a public service.

You’re welcome.
