Purrypuss: You get to go to Corfu for 14 days EACH YEAR? Wow.
I do hope all you Brits know how lucky you are since, as was pointed out above, we Americans (most especially the ones 5,500 miles away on the West Coast) find it extremely difficult to go to Europe, let alone Greece. There are NO mandated paid vacations, NO mandated pensions (Social Security doesn't count, 'cause it is roughly 1/10th the cost of living at a subsistence level of living), plus, it costs us thousands of dollars to just GET to Corfu, not to mention days and days of arduous travel.
My last trip to Corfu, I had to work for 14 YEARS before I finally got a paid vacation with enough time (3 weeks) to get me to Corfu again! And that was my first paid vacation of any sort at all in 14 years. This is rather typical, unless one works for IBM or something, which nobody does, really.
However, IT WAS WORTH IT! Every horrible day at work those long years was worth it.
Did I say I love Corfu madly?
