Today I will be leaving on my trip to Greece. I fly from Washington, DC to San Francisco this morning and meet up with the rest of the group. Then we will fly from San Francisco to Athens with a short stop in Paris. I've been to Paris before, but I've never been to Charles DeGaulle airport so that will be interesting. I've been told it's a very nice airport, but confusing.  We arrive in Athens around 6:30 pm local time where the date will be May 21st. We will be taken by bus to the hotel Astor and have an hour or so to unpack what we need to unpack for the night, freshen up, change, then go to the welcome reception and dinner.
