Mykonos Pics Plus
After returning from New York to attend Comic-Con, which 
was a BLAST by the way, I then woke up at 4am to catch a plane to Mykonos, Greece! Mykonos was SOOOO beautiful, as you can see in the pics…. I mean, stunning!!! Notice the disappearing pool, the pebbles on the beach (is that redundant, as we just learned about?).
We then hopped on a Dassault Falcon 7X, which was the most insane private jet I have been on to date, (I have included a couple pics of what they plane looks like and the room inside), and headed to Nice, France.. to board the Utopia DV SuperYacht, which is a 235 foot yacht! I feel like I am on a cruise ship!!! Seriously, I am blown away as much as anyone would be!!! I can’t believe that I am even here!!!! I hope you don’t mind my sharing it with you, but I feel like I am experiencing a once in a lifetime experience and I’d like to share it with you!
Word of the day by ...
nice article………….
Poptropica
Mykonos was lucky to have you there that day!!!!!!
Are you going next year to mykonos too??????
This gallery was in the email your sent me. However when I tried to click on the music link the internet or internet explorer refused. So, I did not hear your Mykonos music.
Whoever owns that jet is definitely winning the game called, Mine & Yours.
Don’t get me wrong, If I had a dump truck full of ten thousand dollar bills I’d have one just like..only I’d have it painted to looks a Vans shoe in the classic red and blue color
I’d do the exact same thing, only I’d paint mine to look like a hip Vans Shoe. :mrgreen:
Who ever owns that plane is definitely winning the game called, .. Mine and Yours. :mrgreen:
Sacrebleu!
This Dassault Falcon 7x! Impressive, bulbous and rococo bird, very well adapted to its environment indeed, and perfectly suited for a bouffant and rococo paradise! I do believe it stands a little bit closer to the bird of paradise than the falcon though…

These are magnificent pics, and it looks like you are having a wonderful time. Thank you so much for sharing these with us. The beaches look absolutely maahvelous.

These photos are great! I am a little envious of you Marina, but love the fact you are living the high life!!!
OK, Marina, the question we’re all dying to ask:

I’m tired of trying, so heres a link for a great song sung in french you’ll love it teacher! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqGbydjU6ss
“Douliou Dou St. Tropez” ;-)
I just found the best song ever to listen to while looking at these pis.
Here it is!
I think its being sung French(you’ll love it, Marina) and I have no idea what she is saying except St. Tropez, but it sure is cool.

i’ll never understand why hotels are building pools right next to the sea. talk about [carrying owls to athens]. ha! how it fits!
hm. looks like there’s no such expression in english. the equivalent seems to be “selling coal to newcastle”. too bad. :/
Or selling sand to Arabia …
or selling refrigerators to the Eskimos …
Actually there is a Danish company which harvests ice from the glaciers in Greenland, transports it by ship to Denmark, cleans it up and chops it into neat little cubes and then exports it back to Greenland for the hotels to put into drinks at the bar. Because of the large number of air bubbles in the ice, when put into a drink it fizzes, bubbles and pops.
Speaking of Newcastle, there is a small town by that name southeast of Seattle, built around a coal mine. A lot of Welsh miners settled in that area, including Thomas Harries, later Renton’s first postmaster. In his later years he was an elder in our Methodist church, taught Welsh to the children of the immigrants.
Umm…this is rapidly turning into an ADD free-association post so I’d better quit here. :roll:
BTW, is Athens famous for owls?
Hey Bob, the owl is a symbol of the Greek Athena and the Greek goddess Athena can be seen with her pet Owl in many depictions. Athenian coins bore the likeness of Athena on one side and an owl on the other. Indeed, these coins were called “owls.”
The scientific name for owl is “Athene Noctua”
In Jason and the Argonauts, there was a mechanical owl in the movie.
Many government building in Washington DC have owl statues. The saying “Wise as an Owl” comes from the “goddess of wisdom” who was sometimes depicted as an owl.
On top of the Captitol dome in Washington DC is a statue representing a female allegorical figure and some people say it represents Athena, Greek Goddess of Wisdom.
On the front of the US one dollar bill, there is a very small owl in the upper right hand side of the front of the bill.
Not sure I answered your question, but maybe there is a hint there someplace. :grin:
Thanks PK, that’s so cool. My first sailing dinghy was named Athena, and I had a pet Malaysian Wood Owl when I worked in Indonesia. Some coincidence. I wasn’t aware of the connection.
:shock: h owls :lol: *laughing*
The ancient Greeks put owls on their coins. :cool:
Oops! PK beat me to it! :sad:
Bob, there’s gotta be a pun here — owls, Greeks, Athena — but all I’m coming up with is something lame like “owls well that ends well.” :sad:
Helliniki Demokratia, Athens, Sparta, Thermopylae, Korinth, Hellas, Mikonos…marathon brain-storming and no pun appears.
So I leave it to you, because euboia better punster than I. :smile:
I’ve only just seen this, Evan but, even if I had seen it earlier, I wouldn’t have been able to reply as I have euboiaphobia.
I seem to recall it as “carrying coal to Newcastle,” and that it referred to bringing something that’s already there in abundance.
Super what a great holiday certainly more to come… :cool:

“Nietzsche was stupid and abnormal.” – Leo Tolstoy 1828-1910
This one is easy. Nietzsche was a German, Tolstoy was Russian. For some strange reason, these two groups of people have never gotten along and have constantly needed to be seperated(Thanx, Poland!)
The main sticking point, Germans are neat and orderly(anally so) and Russians are slavs.
Hows that, Bob?
I used an Ice pick for my Mexican rum run :cry: :cool: :cry: …OK…hear is your [boyfriend] :lol: elton john Saturday Night’s Alright (For Fighting) red piano

‘Its 7:00 and I wanna rock, get a belly ful of beer’ used to be my motto. Now its, ‘I’m a raibow glider, I’m a high-wire flier; I’m a straight shootin’ son of a gun’. :twisted:
Quiz time, leonard: What song is that from? :?: :???:
ACDC…i think….I being yelled at…I gotta go :razz: bad CO.
Yeah, bad CO’s suck. 3 Dog Night, ‘Jeremiah/Joy to the World’. You mean I finally got ya?
Of course, its hard to concentrate when your being yelled at :mrgreen: ;-)
My mistake: It’s ‘rainbow rider… :oops:

Concert Summary Hoyt Axton was always on the fringe of rock ‘n’ roll stardom. He found incredible success as a songwriter, and marginal success as a recording artist, performer and later, film actor. Though his name may not be on instantly recognizable, some of the songs he wrote will remain popular for decades to come.
Axton was a burly figure in the late 1950s and early ’60s, and was originally positioned to become a professional athlete while attending college in…entire summary

Dunno, BV, looks like you just pissed off both Marina AND PedanticKarl! :oops:
I went to the Bahamas back when I as a wee lad and the water looked like that. Have fun and watch out for those ‘sharks that live on the shore’ :twisted: :!:
You mean those cartilaginous fish that prey on bikini-clad beachgoers? Those are called stink rays, I think. That’s why Ray-Bans are so popular among those who knows.
Jet set—[jet-set]—Marina has the continents bridged with her good looks! :-)
C :cool: :cool: L Pics Marina :!: :grin:
Marina, do you realise that you have just gone from Paradise to Utopia? How are you going to top that?
I couldn’t agree more with PD & PK.
Most of your fans will never ever experience what you are experiencing now, so how will they know that such a lifestyle is even possible if you don’t share it with them?
The fact that you have started a business from nothing and, by your hard work and dedication, are now in a position to enjoy such privileges is a great example to others that anything is possible in this life.
If anyone is jealous or resentful of you for this, it is an indication of a bad attitude.
I am delighted for you that you are enjoying the rewards of your work and really hope that these are not just “once in a lifetime” happenings for you. May you continue to reap the fruits of your labours.
Amen! :grin:
Marina, if you get too badly sunburnt on Mikonos, you could come up to Washington’s San Juan Islands and I’ll give you a tour. :grin:
Thanks Bob! I am so excited by all this, I really want to share it with someone!! And the only people I have are you guys! So I want to share it all with you!!! Thanks for the kind words! :-)
HaHA…Serendipity – lucky discovery
…tech queen Marina…
:grin:
Thank you Marina!Hope your enjoying yourself,and keep us posted on what is going on.I love to hear from you,as well as everyone of your students.So take care and have fun!
You’re very welcome, Marina.
Many of your fans, by their own admission, are in love with you and therefore would like to share with you, but all we have to share are words, so it [behoves] us to choose them carefully and use them as [eloquently] as we know how.
Anyway, kind words come easily when writing to/about you.
S.W.A.L.K. (Wrong page, but you wanted acronyms. :smile: )
I’ve finally found a quote which I wanted to use in the above post:-
Very interesting quote Bob. I’d like to see the Dalai Lama try to light the candles on Nefertiti’s birthday cake then. There should be around 3379 of them. Before the last one is lit, many of the first will be totally burned out. And physics has it as a law that a bowed candle burns quicker than a straight one, because its fire comes into contact with a greatest surface of its own paraffin wax, consuming it much faster.
Don’t get your knickers in a twist by thinking too literally. The original candle doesn’t have to light all 3379 candles, but only a few which then each do the same.
It’s the principle of duplication which network marketing is based on.
The trouble with network marketing is that people are not candles; some are rockets that shoot up and burn out with a bang and most are damp squibs that refuse to burn.
That’s what parallelism is about I guess… From candles to rockets. You sure add some extra-dimension to the quote…
I wouldn’t want to see the Dalai Lama try to light 3379 dynamite sticks then, if only one of them is not a damp squib.
Given the law of physics that the fire is always burning in a perpendicular direction to the horizon (without taking the wind into account), another law of physics, dependant on the first one, comes around: one candle must be bowed in order to light or be lighted by another one, given the fact that the wicks of 2 parallel candles will never touch. :cool:
Those who investigate the intricacies of physics are always looking for extra dimensions.
One candle burning at both ends gives a very lovely light. 3379 candles burning at one end give even more light. 3379 dynamite sticks exploding at the same time give light and power. But one single lightning gives both, at a speed of 130,000+ mph. But ah, my foes, this is not very poetic and oh, my friends, it lasts only a fraction of second, although being 110+ miles long (and 1/2 inch wide). But why? But why?…. …
But why? … ???
But, bugger all, why do I use miles and inches? I should use meters indeed.
Someone said :arrow: a candle burning at both ends burns twice as bright.
owch! ouch!.. hot wax :!:
twice as hot too :!:
Bob gets some of us waxing philosophically about these things :idea:
Hey Marina, when you said;
Are you kiddin, I would mind it if you didn’t share your life with me. Oh, wait, you mean there are others here too? Oh, OK, they can watch too.
Anyway, if you didn’t share your life with me, I’d have to start watching your videos in Black and White instead of glorious color.
By the way, I love those aerial shots of the island. Very impressive and also of the pool.
By the way, I am probably more excited for you being there than you are, if that is possible. I have had some very nice experiences in my past like you are having and I am thrilled for you.
So, yes, please share as many pictures as you can. I can’t get enough. I’ll let you know when it is too many pictures when my friend across tells me to shut up cause I’m driving her nuts telling her about your adventures.
So far, you’re doing great. :grin:
You just share away missy! :grin: I dig it.
Whoever is sportin’ the bill for this adventure has an insanely deep bottomless pit of cash. :shock:
I say live it up for all it worth teach! RockOn! Way :cool: !
Do you wish you had taken your video camera along?
Why not present the pictures in chronological order?
Among the above pics, wasn’t the sunset pics taken on the day you arrived, the white bikini pics the day after the arrival; the blue bikini pics the day after that? And there are pics from stay at Mykonos after the pic taken just before you headed out of Mykonos to the airport. Am I the only one who is bothered by the lack of chronology?
Uh, yeah.
