I'm giving a report at Olynthus which I've yet to finish, but I will! I'm so excited to see the countryside and all these sites but I'm particularly excited about Thermopylae, Philippi, Actium, and Thasos. Xena fans will understand why I giggled to myself when I heard we are going to Potidaea and Amphipolis.  

Also, sorry about the alignment issues.  I pasted the schedule from a Word document and it's a pain trying to fix it.
