About this blog

This trip is dedicated to Frances Clare (3/4/11-12/20/05), an amazing lady. Years ago, I sat by her bedside and promised her I'd see Egypt someday. So, someday has come. :)

I'm splurging on a personalized 2 week tour of Egypt before setting off to budget travel on my own (if I remember how!). After Egypt my travels should take me through parts of Turkey, Greece, and the Dalmatian Coast of Croatia. In May I'll meet up with my dear OOOLD (she loves that) friend Burgi & depart from her home in Vienna on June 7.

So that's the game plan. And... game plans are often blown to bits. The good part? You can live vicariously through me, effortlessly (and for free)! So enjoy. And comment! ;)
