A Book About Our Family's Greek Isles Cruise from Venice

John Megas, Sr.

It has been almost ten years since we embarked on our odyssey to find the family roots for Julie and her sisters Jacque and Cheryl, along with the next generation in that family tree.

Their brother John's family couldn't join us on that trip, but otherwise it was a wonderful chance to reunite with the John Megas Senior family on a beautiful, historic and fun cruise vacation.

Before he passed away, John Megas Senior spoke glowing of his trip to visit distant relatives in the village of Madaro, Crete, which laid the groundwork for the next generation to make their trek.

Much has changed since that trip for all of the family members, including the addition of another generation.

That trip commemorated a unique moment in time for all of us, though we didn't think of it in those terms as we experienced it.

It's fascinating to think how our lives branched out following that trip, as well as who we all were at that time.

Here are links to memories from that trip:
