I'll check it out. I won't be going till, at least, September and possibly the end of October. I'll be in Greece the last part of Sept. and first part of October, so, I'll make the trip on either end. I know I'm pushing the weather a bit, but I live in Michigan and know the routine for cold. Right now, the timing of the trip depends more on work than anything else. I've got a lot of time right now and that could, possibly, change.
