Oh yeah, we got very lucky with the weather. It was beautiful through basically the whole trip. It was somewhat windy and cold in Mykonos, but it was still sunny and clear.

Nicole was really upset the first few days, and justifiably so: the airline lost all of our luggage! She had none of her clothing or make up for most of the week. They later found 3 out of 4. The one missing has ALL of her best new clothes! It's still missing. ... but I won't go there right now.

Alex, wake up man. She paid to have that luggage lost...so you’d need to buy her a whole new Italian wardrobe! Sly like a fox she is... :wink:

BTW who is the hot guy you got to stand in all your photos...? :lol: :lol:

Congrats Alex, and nice pics.

Based on your profile, and the number of shots you came home with from your trip I understand you are a photography buff. Curious what equipment you use and what your main subject interests are?

I too am into photography, concentrating mainly on bird photography at this point in my shooting 'career'.

I have a Canon 30D and a few relatively inexpensive lenses. My interests lie in macro photography and people. I'm planning on getting into Wedding Photography in the immediate future. Frankly though, I'll photograph anything. :D

Great pics! Nice lookin lady you got there too. I also think you look a LOT like my friend Jason... but whatever. lol

Anyway, you make me miss Italy! Those streets look just like my pics from Venizia, and those towns on the cliffs look just like Cinque Terre! Ohhh.. I miss it so!

Dude, I'm not from Italy and I miss it! We flew into Rome and because of the lost luggage didn't even get a chance to see anything! (Granted, I've been to Rome before.) Nicole's never been though, and we were really sad for it.

Added Santorini - Tour Day 2 (See original post.)

This was a BEAUTIFUL place. Number 1 on the list of places I wanted to see before I died. It did not disappoint. I even managed to step into dogpoo for full Santorini experience. :D I only wish I had a week to spend there.

Wow.. Santorini looks awesome! Great pics, seriously. You make me want to buy a better camera, but that would mean less motorcycle parts... so, no new camera anytime soon :)

AleX, you're such a badass!! 8)

It's funny, when i was growing up we used to have a print of a photo
of the blue domed building in Santorini! Whoever took the photo back
then must have been standing in the exact spot you were. Very nice.

Amazing pics there, Alex. My wife has always wanted to go to Greece...

So who's that guy that's always hangin around your wife? I know kissing shots are great and all, but i don't think i would want my wife making out with some hot guy...even if it does make for a good picture... :roll: :wink:

Awesome pictures. Somebody knows how to use a camera. My albums never look this good. Alex, your wife is a beauty. Must have been a nice trip.

To an American like me, it is amazing how many motorbikes (and tiny cars) they have in Europe. Personally I'd like to see more of that kind of transportation here.

The trip was great, for sure.

With the gas prices pushing $4 dollars a gallon, it's only a matter of time.

Alex...I think I liked album 3 the best so far. Those are some fantastic shots in album 3 man...

Looks like you had a really great time! I'm really happy for you. After being married for 3 years, I'm happy someone else out there has found and married the love of their life!

Again, congrats and cheers!

nice! sounds like a great trip and I'm amazed with your photography...

coincidentally, me and my girlfriend just got back last night from a bike roadtrip down through Italy and across to Greece (well only corfu in the end).... pics to come soon! (sadly of a more amateur quality though :) ).

My wife is from Croatia and passed on your pics to her. She is actually from Zadar... but pretty close to Dubrovnic, I believe. Great shots... how did you like Cro? I'd really like to go in the near future!

Alex

Croatia was a pleasant surprise, actually. It was more beautiful than I imagined. A great place to visit!

haha... my friends bought a few of those huge lemons in Sorrento... we were all ready to make some killer lemonade in the hotel that night, borrowing knives and sugar packets from the bar. We cut the first one open to find the skin was about 80% of the lemon, and what was left was pretty much dry and juiceless... such a letdown, but a funny memory...

Awesome looking trip. I'm absolutely jealous, Italy is great. I'd love to see Greece as well... and congrats, she's very pretty.

I'm a newbie here... hope I'm not going too far...

Mama Mia!

Those are some great pics of what definitely seems to have been a great trip!

haha, I really like that Fat Boy on the side of the road. Must be cool to see a guy ridin on one of those bad boys among a country filled with Vespas. :wink:
