The fact that you want and can enjoy both the sea and the mountains equally is the best choice and you have the biggest reward.
I was drawn to the sea by several things, firstly I have always been drawn to the water.The fact that you love Romania and pass this on to your son is very nice and I admire you for that, @missdeli!
My phobias are smaller, more timid and don't bother me much. Height sickness is more pronounced, whenever I'm up on something very high I'm tempted to try flying without a parachute. So far I have resisted this temptation...
You will go to the sea, to the Black Sea, to us. I guess I can guess when and where. At Easter, in Constanta, right?
I also have two trips planned, to two seas. One week after Easter, to the Black Sea, to the Lighthouse, near Balchik, and in June, to the Sithonia peninsula, near Athos. I will betray Thassos but without my will. On the other hand, I'm glad to see another part of Greece.
You know when God laughs?
When we plan for the future!
I hope he doesn't laugh at my plans...
I'm sorry for my late reply...my life has been a bit....let's say different, the last two weeks.
Yes, I am in Cta at the moment. You were right.
Sithonia sounds nice, its on my list too. The fact that is a bit more closer makes it approachable. I would enjoy visiting other parts of Greece too and even if its not Thassos, I am sure you would enjoy your time. You cant go wrong with Greece.
Two trips to the sea sounds really amazing!
I hope all your plans will be checked on the list.
