I need a trip away

I haven't been on a big trip in a while and I'm aching for one.

Perhaps a trip to Gaspé, Quebec this August for some whale watching. First I need to arrange a sitter for Nutmeg. 

My Dream Trip is Egypt. It has been for as long as I can remember. I was planning to go there for my 30th birthday, but I went back to school. At the time I said I will go for my 40th birthday, which is less than a year away. I would love to go there around Christmas and celebrate my birthday somewhere in Egypt. Let's hope it happens. Here's is what I want to see/do in Egypt: Felucca on the Nile, Aswan, Luxor, Alexandria, Pyramids, Mt Sinai, a an Oasis (El Kharga), Cairo, meet some Pharaohs

Here are some ideas/destinations for future trips:

Turkey - Lycian Way - 509 km, Mt. Nemrut, Kahramanmaraş for ice cream, Goreme (Taskonak Hotel) - 2017 with Vicki and the Kackar Mountains

Greece - Athens, Mediterranean sail from Island to Island, Crete, Meteora, Santorini

Jordan - Petra

Iran 

Tunisia 

Poland

Romania - Transylvania 

Russia

Chile and Easter Island

Oman - World Expeditions Oman Adventure Holiday and 5 day camel trek.

My Nieces are Off to South East Asia

My nieces, Jen and Rachel, leave next Tuesday for their 6 month journey through South East Asia.  I'm so happy they are going on this adventure and will enjoy following their travels and discoveries and watch personal growth over the coming months.  I wish them a safe journey and good times.

Can't say I'm not a little envious, but one day it will be my turn.  My next trip will probably be for my 40th birthday and it's not far away. 

Follow them, if interested.
