A Double Crocs Summer in Greece

Many of those who saw me in Greece this summer know that I spent the virtually entire time there ? almost eight weeks ? with only one pair of shoes: Crocs, to be exact. My determination not to overpack was rooted in lessons learned from previous trips ? such as in 2005, when I foolishly packed a suit because of a wedding that I was to attend. Turns out, the only other people wearing suits were the groom, and the bride?s father. Also in past years, I packed pairs of shoes that I wedged in nooks and crannies of my suitcase and wound up not even touching until I returned home! Typically, I travel to Greece in the summertime, and for pleasure. On a cool day, the temperature is in the 90s (Fahrenheit). Why on earth would I want to be clad in shoes, socks, and long pants?
