Vacation on Vacation!

Today was my first day off! It is so wonderful having Maggie here because it gives us both time to really enjoy our trip in egypt. The boys have really taken a liking to her so it has been a very smooth transition for them.

I guess I have been having anxiety about kite surfing because last night I had a dream about signing up for it where everything was going wrong. The man who was suppose to be helping me kept walking away and dealing with other things before he would help me. It was very frustrating... But thank goodness the dream wasn't prophetic because today I went to do my research on all the logistics of kite surfing and it was very encouraging and exciting! The people who run it were wonderful and very helpful. They said as I continued to surf they would become like a family to me and I can't wait!!!! So if all goes according to plan I will be having my first kite surfing lesson next week!

I also did a little shopping and was so proud of my bargaining skills. I was on the hunt for postcards and had finally found some. I was set to buy but when I asked for the price the man said it was 5 pounds each. As if. I told him that was ridiculous and when he wouldn't lower his price I walked away. When I was about 20 steps away a man who knew I had been looking for postcards and who I guess was the owner of a couple of the stores. Saw me walking away empty handed asked what happened. After being informed of the situation asked me to return to the store where I received all the postcards that I wanted for only 1 pound each. Score 1 for Missy!

Also I have had a brainstorm about re-naming the family I work for. I might go for a flintstones theme, or a possibly an egyptian theme . Any thoughts? I'm going to do some hard thinking and make a decision before my next blog.

  1. I like the Egyptian names, but I'm sure whatever names you choose will fit perfect. I love reading your blog, you write very well and I feel like I'm there. I loved the camel kiss, just one question. If Maggie is French, and she kissed the camel, does that mean she french kissed the camel?
