Before all the details faded, I wanted to get a piece written up on the first half of our trip to Egypt and Kenya. And thanks to a fairly light schedule over the past 3 weeks, I got it done!
To read it and look at the online slide show (more pix than I was able to put in my blog), just click on the the hyper-link text to read my article in today's Concord Monitor on our trip to Egypt.
Don't forget to read the side-bar "Related Content" at the end of the article--it talks about how to read behind the headlines and media hype and figure out if reported incidents are actually a threat to tourists.
And now...back to packing for our next adventure--a cruise in the Western Caribbean. We are hoping for calm seas, lots of sun, a very competent captain (hopefully not Italian) and the complete absence of weird viruses.
It's not that I've been lazy doing blog posts (well, maybe a little). After our trip to Burma in January-February and our regular March trip to our timeshare in St. Maarten, we have been enjoying New Hampshire. I'm still writing NH features for the Concord Monitor as well as my weekly column.
