I had a dream about renting a yacht and sailing around the Mediterranean for a summer. But I can't afford that right now- so this trip felt like a peek into that lifestyle! It was very fun to "island-hop" and explore different historic cities and sit out at cafes on the water. It "ALMOST" makes me want to watch Game of Thrones!
