I also have the booklet with all the walks in.from a time before.Although I have been to Hydra several times I have never done some of the walks.Can you tell me if any of you would like to do some of them if it is not too hot ?It usually means getting up early but you can always have a siesta on your return.
I also plan to do some sketching/painting if anyone would like to join me.Please leave a message on the forum or look for me on Hydra.I will be there between 5th and 15th of June at Lydia villa.
Thanks

Oh dear. No Hydra for me this June. After all the worry about accommodation, crowds and transport, I was really looking forward to seeing the island again and meeting with so many LC friends. However, after emergency surgery on Tuesday night my doctor has confirmed that there is no way that I will be able to travel for at least the next month - so that's that.
I will be with you all in spirit over the meet up weekend and I have promised myself that I will definitely make it back to Hydra just as soon as I can.
Oh, dear... how dreadful and unexpected a turn of events, Melanie! I'm sorry to hear this... someone else just told me about your change of plans. I'm not going but I can sure empathize with being held back from going for circumstances beyond your control! I'll be there in spirit, too... but it's just not quite the same. I hope your recovery goes well and you'll be on Hydra the next time around. I hope to be, but things are so unpredictable economically anymore.

I wish you all a safe journey, and a fantastic time on the beautiful Island, "I'm lighting my thin green candle" as I type this.
Melanie, I know, I don't know you, but I can understand how gutted you must feel, but as long as you have your health back, up and running, there is alway's next year to look forward to. So here is to a speedy recover from me.
Yes... I second Denise's wishes, too.. and am SO looking forward to the photos, accounts, and recordings of the late-night sings .
And if anyone can share a hearty laugh with Russel, he will know how much I appreciate it! And I can tell you for sure that I will! If Paula was going to be there, I KNOW I could count on her!~!

So sorry....Wendy.....had my own medical issues...that almost cancelled Hydra....I know how you feel..
Be well....and up and about soon!
So long... to those at home....my heart will be in Hydra..but will also be here.. with the wonderful friends that
I have made.... and the ones...still to be made.....
There has been no place....quite like this place...and I suspect that I will never find one...with more warmth and
generousity of heart....as I have found here.....
It has been a year...out of time...and space...a world unto itself....for me...and I thank you all.....and Leonard!
For those who are travelling....please find me......I will be at the Hotel Orloff from June 8th till June 15th...

You write so beautifully as you express your feelings, Jeanne.
Now, you think you've been "...out of time...and space...a world unto itself.... " [such a wonderful description of the Forum] here, just wait 'til you get to Hydra and are experiencing all that it is with people from here and other places, whom you've met over the past year . I'm looking forward to hearing your descriptions of what I already know will be your precious time there.

I wish you all safe travels:-)
For those of you who travel on Monday 6th June, the metro will not be running between 5:30-16:00 due to a strike, so you can take X96 bus from the airport (that goes straight to Piraeus).
