Well, we were in South Africa up until last night. I worked on the pictures on our way to the Johannesburg airport and had to leave the details until our arrival in Egypt. We are now in Luxor after a very long and exhausting journey. 4 hours of car to Joburg followed by waiting at the airport and a 7 hour night flight to Cairo!! Just shows you how huge Africa is! Once in Cairo we found out that o... Read Full Entry

After living in Seattle Washington for 11 years, we have decided to pack up our bags and leave for new horizons, at least for the year. Our choice, Paris!! This was appealing for us because we will be able to return to Seattle with a direct flight if needed, we are close to family in the south of France and we are also very central in Europe which allows us to travel to England, Holland and Belgium with ease. This is also a prime time in the kid's lives to try out a new school without them hating us for the rest of their lives! After years of education at the French/American school, we are goi... full info

Wow - how impressive!!
It's always so good to read about your travels, and particularly this one about Africa. Sounds wonderful, particularly with the family together, experiencing it all at the same time. As you probably know by now, we're moving. The sale of the house should close on August 1st. We're very excited about moving closer to the kids and grandkids, but a little sad to leave our special retreat here. Take care, and I'll write when I can. Just too many lists with too many things to do on them right now! Luv and hugs, Kathy and Lee

Keep the blogs coming!
Hi all: Wow - what a great adventure in South Africa! I have grown to love these travel stories SO MUCH - and look forward to the next one. South Africa sounds wonderful - especially the animals! Things keep plodding along in Seattle - the summer has been a blur so far. We have a hectic schedule! I leave Sunday at o'dark early for my first kayak trip to Stuart Island in the San Juans - I can't wait. Then, a week later, we are going on our family kayak trip to Ross Lake - the first trip for TR and the boys. I hope they love it as much as I do! We have decided to take a real vacation to Hawaii leaving 8/14 and returning 8/24 ... did I already tell you this? What is your return date ... I am so anxious to see you all and hear in person about your adventures! It's been HOT here, but I'll bet not as hot as Egypt! We are getting a few days of blissful sprinkles this week - who would have thought I would wish for rain here! Miss you all and wishing you safe travels! Love, Patty
