Greek Isles Cruise Highlights + Holiday Catalog Sneak Peeks

Greek Isles Cruise Highlights  + Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog Sneak Peeks ~ www.juliedavison.comI had hoped to pre-schedule some blog posts while I was gone, but I ran out of time! We just got back from the Greek Isles Stampin' Up! incentive trip! It was amazing! Thank you to all of my customers and team members who helped me earn this amazing dream vacation!
Photos can not quite capture the beauty of the Mediterranean, but here are highlights from our trip. After a day of cruising from Rome, our first port was Santorini! We took the cable car to the top and started our guided tour with a stop in Oia with amazing views of white-washed buildings and blue domes.

 Part of our tour in Santorini included a stop at a family winery where we enjoyed a tour of the museum and a wine tasting.

Next up was Mykonos. We had hoped to do a snorkeling excursion, but it didn't work out before the trip, so we enjoyed sleeping in and got off the boat in the afternoon to do a little shopping in this quaint seaside town.

Next up was Athens! We were very lucky with temps in the low 80's (it was over 100 degrees the day before!) -- it was perfect weather for our guided tour of the Acropolis. We started at the museum where we learned a lot about the history of the Parthenon. History came to life on the hill!

Our tour included a tasting of some authentic Greek food at a local restaurant near the fish and meat market. I am not an adventurous eater, but enjoyed trying everything!

We stopped by the Parliment building just in time to see the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Solider in Syntagma Square.

Our last port was Katakolo, Greece!  We enjoyed another slow-paced day with some seaside shopping and a train tram ride to the beach, where we took a refreshing dip in the saltwater!

On the ship, we enjoyed visiting with our demonstrator friends and their guests and making new friends! It is always a treat to share this experience with my parents. As many of you know, Mom was my first recruit 17 years ago and I am so proud of how hard she works to earn these trips!

While the purpose of the trip is definitely a reward and vacation, we do have the opportunity to network with other demonstrators and the Leadership Team. I was happy to chat up and share some feedback. But mostly I was excited for the reveal of the 2019 Holiday Catalog. We got a sneak peek during the general session with product demonstrations and the make and take sessions.
