To paraphrase from The Princess Bride, There is too much; I'll sum up...about our trip to Oklahoma, that is ( Read more... )

Low oil in engine number two. Everyone had to debark. Trying to find connecting flights. And it all started off so smoothly...

At least we got off before the plane had trouble. Silver lining.

We had a geat time in the great outdoors, but our time is up.  just a few minutes before we board the first of our 3 planes to get back to Cairo.  Catch up with you on the other side, meaning in about two days.

Well, that is almost true.  Still have to finish the carry-ons and pack our toiletries, but we are pretty much ready for our trip to Oklahoma.  Sprout wants to leave NOW!

15hrs to go.

I'll take my laptop, but since my guardians don't have wireless and their pc is as old as the hills, I doubt I'll be around much.

Highlights of the trip:

- The Charles de Gaulle airport ( ( Read more... )

Inspired by the nifty tracks asakiyume  posted, here are various and sundry tracks that I had a blast photographing in the biting chill of a Utah morning during our world trip.

Despite the warm tones of the sands, it truly was very nippy as it was October and we were on the dunes before dawn to catch the first glimmering rays on the crystal grains.

 Hello, all.

Julien and I have complete the "tourism" part of our USA visit and are now visitng with my family.  Because my grandmother does not have the Internet (we had to drive 7 miles to find a motel with wi-fi we could bum off), so I'll be silent for the next week or so.  I'll try to find the time to write up a post about our last few days and ( Read more... )
