            Memories



            Made of Magic





             TRAVEL, at its essence, is about leaving
             behind the everyday and the familiar
             repetitiveness of routines and wilfully
             pursuing moments that are quite
             literally extraordinary. At its best, travel
             is about magical, once-in-a-lifetime
             moments that are woven together
             into precious lasting memories. And it
             seems to me that somehow, Mykonos
             has a way of imbuing every moment                                                                                       C
