So it’s been a while but we finally decided to take the plunge and travel again, it’s been almost 9 months since Turkey, and although we went to nearby Muscat and dull Riyadh – we were in desperate need to go somewhere far again…. or far enough. The cheapest and closest thing within the ‘exotic’…

Kids and Photos
I take a lot of pictures of my son – a lot. In most cases they get filtered down to 10% of what I took worth keeping. But those 10% are not only worth keeping, worth framing and up-sizing (obviously I don’t do that for all) – point is taking good pictures of your little…

To Cairo and bust!
Well, I’m finally in Cairo, and I am exhausted already. More due to life in general outside this trip, but it hasn’t been exactly a cake walk coming here either. So here it goes; I lost all my other journals (bye bye Yemen, Nepal, Alexandria memories) because I lost all my DAMN files. This is…
