Awesome TR and photos! Greece looks very nice. I also had not left the country for 18 months, and that first big trip post covid shut down really hits different.

Thanks for the trip report. It's been great to follow along.
I always hate having to repack at the airport. I always take my time to maximise my space (or, perhaps more appropriately, minimise the size and amount of luggage I am taking), so everything is always packed carefully.

Yes, I share your methodology in terms of packing for travel.
T5 at LHR reminds me as being the worst in terms of security check. Sometimes my backpack went through human check once and machine check twice!

It was first mentioned up thread in Post #9 & #11 by David55. He has another link in Post #11 regarding the re-flagging of Hilton.
Personally, I hate to see it leave and become a more upscale Conrad.
