I think this was our best vacation yet. Before this it was the Fiji islands, where we went for our honeymoon. Yes, Santorini was spectacular; I just could not stop saying WOW and Oh my Gosh as the ferry got closer, with everyone on that side of the ferry taking photos it's a wonder the ferry didn't tip over. Then as the driver took us up and up and up that one and a half-lane winding road without guardrails up and up to our tiny pensione room (off-season 30 euro per night I am very happy to tell, but not on the cliff.) We saw Oia town and climbed the volcano and did the "mud bath" and sulfur "hot springs" tour, saw the wine museum, black beach, red beach, and you should know what happened to the big archeological find on Santorini because this is one of the oldest and most important archeological finds on earth and it was damaged last year. We took the bus there, right next to red beach, anyway to take pictures. What happened is that the Greek govt hired a contractor to cover the dig site with a roof shading area to protect it from the elements, and that roof collapsed onto the artefacts and destroyed them. Greece is embarrassed and does not tell tourists about this attraction, of course, but our eyewitness travel book was written ten years ago and we use it because it is exactly the same as the 2007 version. So we knew how to get there and so we took the bus and took photos of the entrance and the Do Not Enter sign, and we saw what artefacts they recovered from the site in a museum. Other than that, we just had a blast roaming around the little private neighborhoods of 100+ year old brick homes, never two of them on the same level, with a community water supply spigot in the walkway where each family brings a plastic gasoline can to fill up the day's water needs. Stairs everywhere. And my husband and I were getting funny looks from everybody because I use a wheelchair, and yes, I can walk, and I also brought plenty of pain medicine.
We save up for these trips and go off season so the rates for flights and places to sleep are low. Guest houses (in people's homes) are much less expensive than hotels and we get to learn the language. We have no kids, so travel is what we spend our money on. I am really good at finding bargains on the net.
Ya know, every time we travel, something funny happens. Last December, a bird flying overhead crapped on my husband's head and plate and forkfull of food during Christmas dinner just one millisecond before he was to put it in his mouth. Everyone who was there was just howling with laughter.

Just in case you are wondering, we don't have just bathroom incidents every time we travel. We do have some variety.
