Pat, I am so happy for you and so envious at the same time!!! Wow, you've seen so many things and I'm glad you're trying anything and everything. It truly is the trip of a lifetime. Grant and I spent Sunday morning getting up to date and looking back at all your pictures. We're grateful that you're taking the time to share your adventures with the blog. Take Care.

For Tina from Bad Lisa
Hi Mom, it's great to see all those smiles and good times in the pictures. I'm having trouble keeping up with all the fantastic reading and pics from Pat (thanks a million, Pat!). I loved hearing that you went skiing in Dubai, can't wait to see more pictures of that! All is well here, we were putting up xmas lights today. We miss you and can't wait to see you. You're amazing, as usual! Love Lisa et al

Hello to you, too, Ben!
Hi Ben, Thanks for your note. It's always nice to hear from "home"! Yes, I did go to the Cairo Museum, but we were not allowed to take our cameras in there, so I have no pictures of that to share unfortunately. It was magnificent though. We are having a fun time! Can't wait till I get home and can show you more of the pictures! Love to all of you, Happy (Aunt) Pat!
