Itchy Feet

I love to go places. You can tell that by my books and the fact that I have yet to set two in the same country. I even like to fly but the twenty-two hour flight I've scheduled to South Africa in May, in the cattle car sometimes called "tourist class" or even "world traveller" is gonna be an endurance test. If only I can get an aisle seat.
I'm already planning what to take. Tan and khaki. Or ecru or sand or beige. Bright colors can excite the animals in Krueger National Park, and I certainly don't want to excite a wild animal. White doesn't stay white long on the dusty dirt roads. Doesn't this sound great? I can't wait. Where do I get that yellow fever shot? Stay tuned. Photos will follow.
A friend of mine who happens to be the inspiration for my Dotsy Lamb went to Egypt last year at my urging. "Don't worry," I told her, "Egypt is perfectly safe." It was when I went there in 2007. No problems. She and her fellow travellers are now called the" Newport News 13," after being trapped in their Cairo hotel throughout the events of last February. She's finally speaking to me again.
If I can find the memory card, I'll attach a photo I took in Egypt to this post.
Later
P.S. I did and it came out above this post. I'm still learning.
