As far as the comment about you'd "rather do that than si in an airport lounge", we could do a much shorter layover and skip Athens altogether, but I was specifically making the long stop over so that we could see the Acropolis thinking it would be worth it since I don't know if we'll ever make it back. We've seen the ruins in Rome, and will be going back there later in this same trip, so I have considered just bagging the Acropolis for easier travel, but again, not sure when we'll be back so I sort of feel like we should try to make it happen. Agree?
