Let the planning begin

Over dinner and probably a few too many glasses of wine, the Grossie Greek Odyssey was born.

The intrepid group was Garry, myself, my cousin Victoria, her husband Glen, and our youngest Carly is tagging along the keep the age demographic down.  OMG we were our very own version of "Travel Guides".

Well this holiday was really just about us our girls and finding our roots.  For Carly and I the Cypriot blood runs more rampart through our veins as my father ( her grandfather ) was born in Cyprus. But the three of us are connected through our Cypriot maternal grandfather.

Which leads us to  our maternal grandmother,  She was born on a little tiny island called Castellorizo. So those two spots were our focus.

With Turkey being so close to Castellorizo, we included a five day visit there, and what the hell, a Groupon Deal came up to visit Egypt, so we decided to go for that too, where our mothers were born.

A couple more dinners to make the final arrangements and we are ready to go..
