What a wonderful journey!!!!

My trip is coming to an end... and I had a few minutes left on this expensive internet connection on the Grand Princess so I thought I'd jump in to say Hi! I miss my Multiply friends and can't wait to share some of my experiences with you when I get back. I put a lot of pictures in Facebook, I'll share some here after I get home.

In Egypt, it was too funny to have the men calling me and all other black women 'Mrs Obama' and yelling 'Obama' at us and being so happy about him. Our security guard on our bus called me and my friend I travelled with, his family, and he stayed with us throughout the tour, helping us get by the aggressive vendors... and boy are they aggressive!

Ephesus was phenomenal! I felt like I was walking through the New Testament.

Istanbul was also great, as was climbing Mt. Vesuvius and walking the streets of Pompeii.

So much to share... but the pictures really tell the story.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
