You can say Kenya... Thanks for sharing your beautiful trip. Just reading your adventures gave us a peek into a completely different world.
Our thoughts are with you during February. Stay safe.
Descriptive Details Thanks so much for sharing your adventure in such vivid details. I really liked the comparison of what the itinery said and What Really Happened. The pictures are amazing and I love that you are sharing so much in details. It makes me feel a part of your trip. Stay healthy and keep having fun on your excellent adventure! Peggy
hola!! Wow Sara!! Africa is beautiful but I think I would have been running after the bat and bug issues!! You are soooo brave!! We have just returned from Mexico to visit Cecilia.. Do you remember my exchange student? I flew to Tucson and you weren't there!! I wanted to have a cup of coffee with you!! ): Mabey next time ok?? Sara, Did you turn 40 like I did?? I thought about you on my birthday... remember we are only 2 days apart? You are still soooo beautiful!! Love you lots!! Be careful xxoo
"Out of Africa" The two of you are more beautiful and adventurous than Robert Redford and Meryl Streep! I'm so happy you met another couple on your Safari. Meeting people from foreign countries is dangerous (fabulous) because it usually means even more traveling is in your future! That's how we ended up in Australia/New Zealand! Staying with natives is the best! Your photos, once again, moved me to tears. I adore nature and seeing that rhinoceros walking across the street was almost too much! You are so blessed. Kudos to Bryan and his rugged climb! Sounds like something David would do, while I stayed behind to read and write! I love living vicariously through you! Can't wait to read more! Best wishes on the rest of your travels!
Memories Thanks for taking the time to write your Kenyan journal. We were there on a safari 20 years ago and it brought back many wonderful memories! We hope you continue to enjoy yourselves...keep the journals comin'
Hugs from Sue and Karl
Can Ya Say... This is better than National Geographic! We're glad to see that you are WRITING again. We look forward to your next journal. Yes, Bryan will have to add his mountain climbing adventure for us. I understand that Mt. Kilamanjero is loosing its ice cap due to global warming. True?
Tomorrow, we have a brief memorial service for PJ's father, Harold, who died (peacefully) Tuesday at 102 years. Sunday, we fly to Florida for burial and return on Tuesday. All is well.
In case you are wondering:
We love you!
Sam and PJ
Can Ya Say Spectacular!?!? OH MY GOSH!! You never cease to amaze us with your stories and spectacular pictures. It puts our lives in perspective- I think we take for granted our simple luxuries (ex: bug free homes and climate controlled houses). Thanks again for sharing your adventures with us :~)
Thinking of you on Valentine's Day Where ever you are, dear Sara, we are thinking of you this day. Our prayers are that you are well, that you and Bryan will find a computer cafe and connect with us soon. Love, Sam and Phyllis
Birthday Hi Sarah,
We haven't heard from you in months. I hope all is well and that you are celebrating your birthday month in good healt.
Love, Sam and PJ
awsome pictures Glad to see you guys enjoying the trip. I was there on Sept 20ish and enjoyed Egypt very much. However, i read through the part you said about airport scene and cant help feeling annoyed toward the taxis and touts. I was there and someone was asking for 150 pounds from airport to Cairo museum and I was about to agree as I think that is pretty normal from my standard. Turned out another egyptian who was on the same flight with me helped me with the bargain and guess what...35 pounds ...I bet you get lot of "Excuse me, where are you from?"
What an adventure! Sara, Thankfully, I visited Cairo while on a Mediterranaean cruise, so everything was handled through a tour company. I didn't have to deal with any sketchy taxi cab drivers, etc. I did have to deal with a crazy taxi cab driver in Vegas over Halloween weekend who wanted to over charge us by $14.00 and almost abandoned us on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere! Scary! I loved the Museum of Cairo most of all and I when I was there we could take all the photos we wanted. I feel so lucky. This was over ten years ago. Thanks for your wonderful blogs. I was really missing them. They always make me teary eyed as I long to do the same. Much love to you Sara and Bryan. Can't wait to hear from you again.
Once again... What a treat to receive a new blog. Once again your commentary and photography is captivating! I would never have guessed there are turtles in Turkey. I had to giggle when I saw the picture of you "helping" him cross a little more quickly. I would have had (my) Brian pull the car over, and I would have done the same thing! :) My eyes started watering when I read the part about Bryan having the hairs under his eyes removed. Ouch! Perhaps we should shave the upper cheek hairs next time? Thank you again for sharing your adventures. I love you and miss you lots...
Awesome Journal Sara and Bryan,
Am enjoyed your blog and want to thank you for letting me travel vicariously to all these places through your journals. Sara, your daughter is a picture of you! She is just beautiful.
Look forward to Africa

So happy to hear from you! What an experience! We are so glad to hear from you and find that you are in good health and SAFE! Having Marina visit certainly must have been uplifting for you (and her). Your JOURNAL is excellent with much visuals. I sip coffee in the morning and share your experiences with you.
August-September: We enjoyed a seven-day cruise to Icy Strait, Alaska with 14 members of our family (including PJ's sister) to begin the year-long celebration of our 50th. All went well. We are spending our children's inheritance.
Love to you both.

At Last Sara, I have been anxiously watching your site to see when you were able to access the internet again. I just knew that I would see something this weekend and I was right!! How lucky for Marina to share in this adventure. Thanks for letting all of us have this peek into your life.

You are the luckiest person evvvvveeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrr! My parents are trying to make me go to Italy and Europe to sight see. I don't want to sight see, but i think it would be a lot of fun. Since you have been to these places, what do you think? Alex and I recieved A's in S.S. this year, keep me informed with everything.
Have fun,
Tanner and Alex
P.S. Alex says "peace"
Keep 'em coming! Hi Sara,
Your last set of blogs has been amazing. The scenery is spectacular. I loved your description of you and Bryan getting the few remaining seats on the bus in Rome. You have such a beautiful way of detailing your trip that it makes one feel that he/she is there. You look wonderful and I hope you continue to feel well as your travels continue. We miss you at school, but we all look forward to your next set of adventures. Take care.

Sara, you look fabulous! I agree with Scott, you should write a book. You have a beautiful way of writing that just draws people in. It's like you have taken us all with you on your travels. You look fabulous! And you look like the two of you are having the time of your life! I can't wait to see your next adventure!I am glad you are feeling better. Don't we sometimes hate hindsight. Enjoy, Enjoy, Enjoy! Love, Sherry
You should write a book Hey I just wanted to say I think you should write a book I have been sitting here in the computer lab glued to these blogs. I am living my life through you guys. I have had the luxury of reading them from the most recent to every thing before it. So when you say things like on to such and such I sit here going Well ok but your going to slip down the side of a mountain. It makes it that much more fun. I hope your feeling better. I can't wait for the next blog. I think you should really write a book. Ihope you guys are having a blast it certainly looks like a blast.
