Having gone through with the trip's first all-nighter and falling asleep through the rides, it's pretty safe to say that the bus ride to the airport and the flight to Mykonos went pretty swimmingly. Before the plane actually took off, I closed my eyes and eventually woke up wondering if we had left yet. When we had already landed...
More sleeping was to be had while we were waiting to be checked in at the hotel with it taking a number of hours to get everyone settled in and everything. I also went with a group to grab food at Everest (Pretty much the Greek equivalent of Subway from what I've come to understand. They had a bunch of them in Athens as well), hung out in the room and adjusted, swam/sunbathed at the hotel pool, and then went out with a few other people to a Thai/Chinese restaurant nearby. If I'm not mistaken, the plans for tomorrow include leaving here in the morning for the island of Delos and coming back in the evening. Definitely looking forward to seeing the Oracle if we get the chance.
So far, Mykonos has been a pretty cool place and makes for an interesting first island to visit on this trip. The weather has been warm and the ocean view is certainly awe inspiring. I do wish the hotel's Internet was better and that the rooms were closer together (The hotel is mostly a set of buildings with several rooms assigned to each building), but the bathrooms are bigger and the setup is certainly more unique. That and you can't deny the awesomeness of finally getting a chance to get in some water after dealing with the hot climate here.
And on a final note, Dennis Hopper has apparently joined the endless list of celebrities that are passing away this summer. I guess the "Super Mario Brothers" movie finally caught up with him...
