| Little cabin on a big ship |
The second the porter softly shut the door, leaving her alone in her sleeper cabin aboard the Blue Star Ferries ship Diagoras, VV did a happy dance.
It had been a long few months with elderly family members ill. In the tiny, simple, but cleverly designed space, the world of worries vanished.

| Compact desk in cabin |
VV admired the adorably compact desk with a handily placed electrical outlet for laptop or camera battery recharge, the teensy yet ingeniously outfitted and gleaming bathroom, and the just-big-enough closet, then spent the next few minutes lounging in the chair with her feet up on the stool, enjoying a glass of mineral water, and pondering a weighty decision: on which of the two twin beds would she would have a nap before dinner?
Life rarely gets better: 16 carefree hours in a cute little cabin on a mighty seagoing vessel that slips you quietly overnight from one scenic Greek port to another.

| On deck, leaving Pireaus |
Well, OK, it might have been better if VV’s husband had been along, but someone’s got to stay home with the dog mob. Or if she had sprung the extra 50 Euros for an outside cabin with a window. But there’s a budget to be respected (more or less).

| Ship's engines swirl the sea |
In any case, for most of the trip, Hypnos, the god of sleep, kept VV tucked contentedly between the crisp linens of one of the cabin’s two beds—the one on the right, as it was decided after serious debate.
The window was barely missed.
The husband… somewhat more so.
