OP here; brother decided a few days ago to have niece skip Greece, especially since she would be traveling alone. Too many unknown variables. Actually, I think SIL convinced him of this.
Reviving as we are heading over soon. Any updates?
They traded the debt crisis for the refugee crisis.
Funny how this refugee crisis didn’t exist before the US and UK decided to impose “regime change”. That really worked well. Syria was no paradise before, but now it is a failed state. Same for Iraq, Libya and increasingly Egypt. The US and UK have a lot to answer for.
