VACATIONING TO SANTORINI ISLAND: THE 5 W'S

WHO?: My boyfriend and I
WHAT?: Taking a vacation together for the first time
WHEN?: After we graduate from UWO in 2012. We will be departing May 1st 2012, and returning May 8th, 2012.
WHERE?: Santorini Island, Greece. We will be staying in the city Fira.
WHY?: After four strenuous years of university, we both deserve a vacation of a lifetime. I have wanted to go to Greece for many years, and now that I have done some research, I definitely know that I want to spend my time off on the most beautiful island in the world.


The best time to go to Santorini is in May, June, September and October. The tourist infrastructure tends to shut down around November.  It is not a coincidence that we are planning to go in May; it was planned this way so that we are able to enjoy the sun, and it will be guaranteed that the weather will not affect our planned activities. 


Greece has been using the Euro for their currency since 2002, and this change in currency has caused the prices to drastically increase. It is said that prices are much cheaper if you travel in the months of May and June, and this is another reason why we want to travel when we are.
Currently, the exchange rate stands at: 1.00 EUR= 1.38384 CAD, but there is always a chance that the rate can change drastically in the next year, causing the cost of my dream vacation to fluctuate.
