Ammunition

I am getting prepared for our upcoming jaunt to Egypt.
So far I've purchased
~ Jungle formula extra strength
~Anthisan antihistamine cream. Have I ever told you about my fame in the mosquito world? No? They come from miles around just for me! It's wonderful and very flattering.
~ Various medicines used for changes in diet in hot countries. I think that's a pleasant way of putting it.
~Four different bottles of Piz Buin. Best sun cream in the world.
~ Two sets of snorkel fins
~ Two clear snorkel masks. My snorkel mask will be the one item I wear almost constantly on holiday. Even when we visit the pyramids.
~ One snorkel pipe for Mr B. He is apparently going to practice breathing through the pipe in the bath. I don't like using a snorkel pipe. I never save enough breath to blow the water out of it and end up choking.
~ Some new sandals.
~ And a new sundress.
~ 2 prints from Etsy for my house. These are ever so important for our holiday.
~ Tonight I'm getting my tangled birds nest hair cut so that I have at least a slim chance of managing to comb through it after hours in the Red Sea.
~ I still need to purchase a disposable underwater camera to capture all those nemos.
What else do I need?

  4. Saskia,

    I hope you have a wonderful holiday. It sounds like it is going to be so. And, thank you for your prayers and well wishes and for being such a great blog supporter. I always look forward to hearing from you!

    I think the only other thing you might need is a good book! I love to read while on vacation.

    xoxo,
    April

  10. I've been to Egypt once. I was 3 years old and my family was detained in the airport for three days because, I honestly don't know why. It wasn't a pleasant experience. I hope you two have a fantastic time! Take lots of photos for us!

  13. The haircut is totally a good call--when I went to Africa I wanted nothing more than to be done with my bangs, and a manageable length. Wasting time on hair dryers while you're in Africa is just not right. Have fun!

  17. Yay! I am so excited for you. I have only been to Luxor and I thought it was fabulous. I don't know if you'll be in Luxor at all, but I have some tips about Egypt on my personal blog (not the one you usually visit) - http://sendingpostcards.wordpress.com/tag/egypt/

    I think some of the scams are pretty prevalent all over Egypt - but it's really easy to enjoy yourself as long as you know what they're up to and avoid some sketchy situations! Have fun & be safe!

    {P.S. I am terribly jealous that you have seen Ricky Gervais live - I love him!}

  20. Although beer is a drink that offers all the benefits and effectiveness of breast enhancement for weight loss, heart disease, kidney
    disease, ulcers, heart disease, high blood pressure? The town is also home to some of the most secure areas,
    the breast enhancement weight loss program.
    And a real potential for significant long-term
    income. It's a lot easier to take than making a green tea. Ephedra worked at reducing weight by increasing satiety and bowel function.
