No... carnival wouldnt have been our first choice.

Figgy... you live anywhere near Rome or Florence? Think we stop there for a day each. Not going until August next year so got a few more before then.

The ship looks pretty amazing. Not entirely sure how they float the things!

Florence. I will buy you a cappcchino and show you the best bits. Very Happy

Sure it is Florence. If everyone else gets off the boat too then sure we will just go on a tour... but might get off on my own if the others dont.

Sure it said Florence.

Just realized I neglected to check in. I'm in Cairo now for a few days, then off to Kilimanjaro via Nairobi. May not poke my head back in here for a couple weeks, just didn't want any search parties being sent out. I could probably use one, though. Cairo's a damnably confusing place: no grid, and despite the guidebook's promises, most streets do not have western names on the signs. can't cipher out the Arabic. Wish me luck.

Enjoy your trip. Very Happy

I'm really jealous; that's a lot of travelling. Hope it goes well. Smile

Have fun Halfy! Really excited for those pics! Have fun on your trip!

by Lancebloke Sun Sep 28, 2014 1:21 pm

Hope the guys look after you as well as the did me on Kili. Looking forward to your stories.

by Mrs Figg Sun Sep 28, 2014 5:12 pm

On Kili? I bet Tauriel was jealous.

by Lancebloke Sun Sep 28, 2014 6:07 pm

She was there too.... dirty she-elf.

by David H Mon Sep 29, 2014 2:12 am

I'm looking forward to hearing Halfy's adventures. bounce

In the mean time I should probably mention that I'll be up to my ears in cranberry harvest for the next month, so I may a bit scarce here for a while. It looks like a big crop!

by Eldorion Mon Sep 29, 2014 2:23 am

Thanks for the heads up, Dave. I hope that you managed to protect the crop from marauding drunken Scotshobbits. Nod

by Pettytyrant101 Mon Sep 29, 2014 3:26 am

Hey its thanks to me that he has such as good crop this year. Im a stone lighter now Mad

And I dont hold with all this traveling malarkey. Whats wrong with stopping with where you've been put? Your own stuff not good enough for you and you have to go ogle foreigners stuff? Evil or Very Mad

by Forest Shepherd Mon Sep 29, 2014 5:40 am

Pfft, go back to your bridge Petty you Scots-troll!

Anyway I've been busy with work the last two weeks. I got a road construction job working with my brother, and although it pays ridiculously well I am very tired by the end of the day and don't have much free-time. I had to work Saturday this weekend, and didn't get online until tonight.
Anyway, I'll be around, just not so much. The large weekly checks will have to be enough solace. Razz

by Pettytyrant101 Mon Sep 29, 2014 6:03 am

Bloody cheek I dont live under a bridge- what kind of slovenly Scotshobbit do you take me for?! Mad

I live in a perfectly acceptable buckie barrel!

by Lancebloke Mon Sep 29, 2014 7:50 am

I have to go and see foreigners stuff so I know if I need to get more stuff of my own. Except I dont have room for rivers and mountains where I am. Or killer hippos. Or grand canyons. ....

Actually the water's nicely chlorinated in Cairo, so it's not an issue and I've even firmly put it to the test. Communal cups and all.

by Mrs Figg Tue Sep 30, 2014 5:51 pm

communal cups! like. *shudder*
