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.

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.
Thank you for following this TR.
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!

Thank you, glad you enjoyed the TR.

Well, we need to live with the virus. It is time to get back to travel again! Safe trips!

When was your trip? My search on Hilton.com came up with zero hotels.

My trip was last fall. I also noticed that Hilton Athens had a new owner months after my stay. Now it will be Conrad & some upscale condos.

UPDATE: Hilton Athens Converted To Conrad By 2024 (Closes January 31) - LoyaltyLobby

My bad.

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.
