Saturday I did my suitcase for my holidays in Egypt and it was such a nice feeling to take out all the sommer stuff again, suncream and sandals and bathing suits.

On Sunday morning at 3 am I jumped out of my bed, into my clothes had some coffee while Mr. G. loaded my suitcase into the car. Domi was already waiting on the street, she just lives next door. He dropped us off at the airport where hundreds of people were already there, charter flights are very early mornings.

After having checked in without any problem as we didn't have any bombs or drugs with us, and anyway looked like innocent "old" ladies, we had a coffee and a croissant and waited for the plane. Outside it was 3 °C !

After a smooth flight of 4 h we landed in Hurghada and when I got out of the plane I thought I would enter in an oven ! It was hot ! 35° C (which is above 100) I thought I would melt.
We arrived at our hotel which is really beautiful, in the next days I will post some pictures.
First thing we did after having emptied our suitcase, we went to the beach and and had our first swim in a very warm and very salty sea !

I had some difficulties to get Internet, so I will report more tomorrow for "My World" It took three men and a lot of blablabla to get a Internet access card with a code for me and as nothing is urgent in this country it took 1 h !



Here you see my poor cat Pookie, sitting on my suitcase, she knows that I am leaving ! The view from our room. I took the picture of the airplane because the Belgian Tennis player Kim Kleysters was on it.

Sorry but the linky thing was on holidays today !

MEMELESS SUNDAY

When your are reading this, I am probably sitting squeezed like a sardine in a can in the airplane taking me to Hurghada at the Red Sea in Egypt. I don't know what happens, but each year the airplanes are getting smaller. I wander if they shrink because of the climate changes (ex Global Warming ?).

Yesterday I packed my suitcase, fortunately there is not a lot of things to take with me as I only have to dress in the evening. The whole day I will wear bathing suits and beach things.

I leave a happy Mr. G. at home, who finally can do what he wants for 2 weeks, that means watching horrible action or war movies, and dressing himself like a homeless. He also doesn't have to shave and can look dirty in his face, I know it is the new fashion that men don't shave for several days and think that they look sexy and virile ! There are certainly some women who like that, but I prefer a soft cheek to a grater.

He only will be terrorized by our 4 cats and will be their slave for 2 weeks. He probably will get up several times per night each time one of the little darlings jumps on his bed and whispers a loud meow in his ears and then he will complain bitterly about his sleepless nights when I come back.

He probably will also be invited by friends and neighbors who think a poor lonesome man can't nourish himself, curiously when he went away in the past nobody invited me.

Next time I will post from my Hotel, hopefully the internet connection will be as good as the last 3 years. I take my little notebook with me.



My hotel (another one than last year) so it will be a surprise



and old friends ... camels !
