Memories:

I'm sorry, sir, that you were twenty minutes late for your flight... could we somehow compensate you? We'll fly you business class, give you $300, and put you up in a really nice expensive hotel for the evening. Will that be acceptable?
Um, let me think about that for a minute... Come to think of it, can we just hop on this flight to Kuala Lampur instead? (ALEX: "I'll take the hotel, you can go to Kuala Lampur...)

Athens:
Some strange Greek Orthodox religious ceremony near the acropolis where St. Paul (Paulos?) supposedly gave a sermon... The Acropolis... The Parthenon... The (endless?) search for food... The ballet... Another (endless?) search for food... First flight out...

Santorini:
What? No air conditioning? (Will she survive?)... Shall we go to the beach or the pool today, Alex?... Greek Salad... The quest for an injury free moped experience (you lead, no you lead!)... Honk three times if you want to stop, twice if I'm going to fast... Perissa beach... Oia... Fira... Alex, you have to understand that a coke in the morning just makes me happy -- I'm not human until then... You're sending a postcard to whom???... Greek Salad... No oil, please...

Mykonos:
Hydrofoil... Hello, I'll have a double gin and tonic and the key to the room please... Make that a bottle of gin, please... It's my BIRTHDAY!... (Thanks for dinner mom!)... Chez Maria, Philipos... Michael, Alexandra, Spiro & Spiro, Alexandra, Alexandra, Alexandra... It's been 46 hours... Paradise -- technotronic blast... Super-Paradise = Super Naked Beach (no, I don't have to take my clothes off to have a good time, and Rafe will happy to know that no amount of convincing would get Alex to go Euro...) Billy the Scottish Queen... Sammy Goldstein (rapturous applause...) Where is Love?... You two are such good sports... It's the day after my birthday... Navigation via windmills... Greek Salad... Did I mention Greek Salad?...
