Just a week to go!!

By this time next week I should be in the air crossing the Atlantic on my way to London with a final destination of Cairo.  I'm soooooo excited (again).  It seems like it was just last week that I was making final preparations to go on this trip when I had to cancel it.  I have so many things I want to take just in case.....lol......

And just in case I'm asked to cover my head out of respect when visiting certain religious areas, here is my attempt to blend in....What do you guys think?.....LOL.....oh dear, they don't know what's coming.....

Only 11 Days left!

That's right only Eleven days before I leave for Egypt.  I still have lots of things to get ready for but I believe I have about 85% done....not too bad......I've gone through my head everything I can possibly need and have pestered the owners of the place I'm staying at with a thousand questions, do you have a microwave, an iron, a DVD player, AC, etc,, is there a market nearby, is there a beauty salon in the neighborhood you recommend (hey, I still need to do my hair!).  They are probably sick of me by now....LOL...

Currently I'm in Orange County, California this week (I am the Traveling Redheaded Lady after all!) for work and head home late Thursday night.  Its a beautiful area here normally but the weather this week is rain, rain and more rain....hmmmmm....I left beautiful sunny Miami....doesn't seem right.... I have a full week ahead of me with lots of meetings, training programs to observe and comment and meetings with my boss.

Below are some pics I took from around Irvine, California

The Trip is Back on .....YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

I'm so excited.....again!.....the trip is back on and I hope I will finally make it to Egypt.....

So happy that things have calmed down there and that the country is doing its best to stabilize itself and  work towards their journey of having a democratic government where the people's voices and needs are met. It's a long road for them and will not happen without mistakes and bumps along the way, but the important thing is that something of monumental historic importance happened in Egypt.  The people toppled an autocratic, corrupt and abusive regime in 18 days.....simply amazing!  God Bless Egypt and its people......

So now, for me, it's back to planning and prepping for my trip.  Flight, check, lodging, check, tours, half check, enthusiasm, check, check, check......LOL......

Stay tuned for more my friends.....
